  • The Reign of Nebuchadnezzar I in History and Historical Memory
    The Reign of Nebuchadnezzar I in History and Historical Memory “This is the first book-length study devoted to the reign of Nebuchadnezzar I, a Babylonian king of the late 12th century BC who is best known to students of ancient Mesopotamia for his recovery of the statue of the national god Marduk from its captivity in Elam. Nielsen achieves two feats of scholarship: he presents a lucid account of Nebuchadnezzar I and his times, and then traces his legacy right down to the Seleukid era, based on careful analysis of a wide range of cuneiform sources including literary texts. His investigation of historical and collective memory within the Mesopotamian cultural tradition represents a major contribution to ancient Near Eastern historiography.” Heather Baker, University of Toronto, Canada Nebuchadnezzar I (r. 1125–1104 BCE) was one of the more significant and successful kings to rule Babylonia in the intervening period between the demise of the Kassite Dynasty in the twelfth century at the end of the Late Bronze Age and the emergence of a new, independent Babylonian monarchy in the last quarter of the seventh century. His dynamic reign saw Nebuchadnezzar active on both domestic and foreign fronts. He tended to the needs of the traditional cult sanctuaries and their associated priesthoods in the major cities throughout Babylonia and embarked on military campaigns against both Assyria in the north and Elam to the east. Yet later Babylonian tradition celebrated him for one achievement that was little noted in his own royal inscriptions: the return of the statue of Marduk, Babylon’s patron deity, from captivity in Elam.

  • 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).

  • “Knockout” // Daniel 4 // Shining in Babylon #4
    “Knockout” // Daniel 4 // Shining in Babylon #4 (DANIEL BUMPER) We are so grateful for the rapid decline of Covid cases in NC! Both the CDC and Gov. Cooper have removed social distancing, capacity restrictions, & mask requirements for vaccinated adults, &, as such, like we announced on Friday, we are removing the request for everyone to wear them at our weekend services, except, for the time being, Summit Kids staff & volunteers will continue wearing them as a safety precaution. Of course, you are free to wear one if it makes you feel more comfortable. (Unfortunately, at campuses where we rent the space, we don’t set the rules, the venue owner sets the guidelines, so if you’re at one of our mobile campuses, your campus pastor will instruct you in what to expect.) And, of course, we will continue to offer Summit Online for those who feel at risk. Our goal is to make worship accessible to everybody, and that no one has to worship alone. So, that’s your PSA for this weekend. Good to see a lot of your faces, as we with unveiled faces behold the glory of the Lord together. Daniel 4, if you have your Bible. This is Mike Tyson. If you’re under 30, you may not know this guy, (don’t get confused, I know some of you thought that was a picture of me with my shirt off for a minute) but’s hard to describe what an icon he was when I was in middle and high school. He was, along with Michael Jordan, one of the 80’s great sports phenoms.

In an attempt to justify yet another general introduction to the era,1 this paper will also discuss two items to which some minor novel contribution can be made.

  • Alexander the Great – the Father of the First International Currency
    Alexander the Great – the Father of the First International Currency Alexander the Great is of big importance to the history of coinage. After his ascension to the throne following the assassination of his father Philip II, Alexander adopted the Attic coinage standard. From then on, he thus had his silver coins struck after the tetradrachms from Athens, the at that time most successful international trading currency. Wherever he went on his later campaigns, Alexander issued and circulated his own coins. They were of an until then unknown uniformity, despite some stylistic variations and although they were struck in hundreds of mints throughout Europe and Asia. Alexander's silver coins always bore the head of Heracles on the obverse, the mythical ancestor of the Argead dynasty, as the royal house of Macedon called itself. The gold pieces showed the head of the goddess Athena on the obverse and Nike, the goddess of Victory, on the reverse. 1 von 9 www.sunflower.ch Kingdom of Macedon, Alexander III the Great (336-323 BC), Stater, 330-320 BC, Amphipolis Denomination: Stater Mint Authority: King Alexander III of Macedon Mint: Amphipolis Year of Issue: -330 Weight (g): 9 Diameter (mm): 19.0 Material: Gold Owner: Sunflower Foundation This stater of Alexander the Great bears on the obverse the Greek goddess Athena and on the reverse Nike, the Greek personification of victory.
