  • The Lagash-Umma Border Conflict 9
    CHAPTER I Introduction: Early Civilization and Political Organization in Babylonia' The earliest large urban agglomoration in Mesopotamia was the city known as Uruk in later texts. There, around 3000 B.C., certain distinctive features of historic Mesopotamian civilization emerged: the cylinder seal, a system of writing that soon became cuneiform, a repertoire of religious symbolism, and various artistic and architectural motifs and conven- tions.' Another feature of Mesopotamian civilization in the early historic periods, the con- stellation of more or less independent city-states resistant to the establishment of a strong central political force, was probably characteristic of this proto-historic period as well. Uruk, by virtue of its size, must have played a dominant role in southern Babylonia, and the city of Kish probably played a similar role in the north. From the period that archaeologists call Early Dynastic I1 (ED 11), beginning about 2700 B.c.,~the appearance of walls around Babylonian cities suggests that inter-city warfare had become institutionalized. The earliest royal inscriptions, which date to this period, belong to kings of Kish, a northern Babylonian city, but were found in the Diyala region, at Nippur, at Adab and at Girsu. Those at Adab and Girsu are from the later part of ED I1 and are in the name of Mesalim, king of Kish, accompanied by the names of the respective local ruler^.^ The king of Kish thus exercised hegemony far beyond the walls of his own city, and the memory of this particular king survived in native historical traditions for centuries: the Lagash-Umma border was represented in the inscriptions from Lagash as having been determined by the god Enlil, but actually drawn by Mesalim, king of Kish (IV.1).

  • Evolución De La Presencia Guti En Mesopotamia Y Su Papel En El Colapso Del Imperio Acadio
    EVOLUCIÓN DE LA PRESENCIA GUTI EN MESOPOTAMIA Y SU PAPEL EN EL COLAPSO DEL IMPERIO ACADIO Elena Torres (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) RESUMEN La presencia de población guti en Mesopotamia se ha interpretado tradicionalmente como producto de la irrupción brusca de este pueblo de los Zagros en la Mesopotamia de finales del Imperio acadio. Los testimonios de que disponemos son escasos y oscuros, indirectos en su mayoría. Nos permiten vislumbrar sin embargo que Gutium está presente en la zona desde mucho antes, y su relación con la cultura mesopotámica adopta diferentes roles en distintos momentos: como frontera oriental en las vías de comercio a larga distancia en época sumeria, como tributarios del Imperio sargónida y finalmente como el grupo de población que aprovecha una coyuntura de vacío de poder al final del período acadio para hacerse con el control efímero de una pequeña parte del territorio que antes había conformado el gran Imperio acadio. ABSTRACT The presence of Gutian population in Mesopotamia has been traditionally interpreted as a consequence of the irruption of this people from the Zagros into the Mesopotamia of the late Akkadian empire. The statements we have are scant and dubious, mainly indirect. They let us nevertheless discern that Gutium is present on the zone from much before, and its relationships with Mesopotamian culture adopt different rolls in different moments: as an eastern border in the long distance merchandising routes at Sumerian time, as tributary land of the Sargonid empire, and finally as a group of population that takes advantage of the power vacuum at the end of the Akkadian period to obtain an ephemeral control of a small part of the territory that had once constituted the great Akkadian empire.

  • Photographing Iraq by Osama Shukir Muhammed Amin
    Photographing Iraq By Osama Shukir Muhammed Amin I have always been obsessed with the concept of immortality. Life is too short; you should know that if you live in a country whose history is flooded with wars while its land has been irrigated with blood since the dawn of humanity. Iraq is the Cradle of Civilizations! Saddam’s propaganda in the 1980s was quite influential to many people, including me. Reviving Babylon and the Assyrian Empire to their zenith was a cornerstone during the Iraq-Iran War, 1980-1988. My father bought me a camera, a Nikon F-301, in 1986. I liked documenting events, scenes, trips, everyday life activities, and so on, to store and retrieve memories, instantly. But I was eager to leave a thumbprint on history, not just through medicine or neurology. I was never satisfied that my “job” would leave a life-long legacy, easily accessible to people while being unique and outstanding at the same time. Through the eyes of a photographer, I see that many images of Mesopotamia and its relics are either old (in black and white) or relatively new but “immature” (in terms of technical qualities such as composition). Iraq is not yet a destination for tourists while scholars of history and archaeology continue to encounter many obstacles. Photographs are a way for Iraqis to communicate. With the birth of social media, particularly after the introduction of smart phones, people started to post on the Internet, and images, new or old scanned ones, of Mesopotamia started to mushroom. But after the US-led invasion of Iraq and the ransacking of the Iraq Museum in April 2003, followed by the insurgency and sectarian violence, Iraqi people also began to feel a new sense of patriotism and nationalism, creating connections for themselves to Mesopotamian history.
