  Sumerian king list - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sumerian king list is an ancient text in the Sumerian language listing kings of Sumer from Sumerian and foreign dynasties.
The later Babylonian and Assyrian king lists that were based on it still preserved the earliest portions of the list well into the 3rd century BC, when Berossus popularised the list in the Hellenic world.

Assuming the old title of great king, he called himself "King of All." He enlarged the temple and the palace in Ashur and also developed the fortifications there, particularly at the banks of the Tigris River.
The king claimed to have blinded 14,400 enemies in one eye [psychological warfare of a similar kind was used more and more as time went by].
In his capital of Ashur, the king depended on the citizen class and the priesthood, as well as on the landed nobility that furnished him with the war-chariot troops.

This list of kings of Babylonia and their regnal years, which appears on a fragment from the middle of a small tablet found at Uruk, covers in its preserved portion the period (obverse) from Kandalanu (647-627 BCE) to Darius I (522-486 BCE) and from (reverse) Darius III (335-331 BCE) to Seleucus II (246-226/225 BCE).

 Assyria (general introduction)
During the reign of Sennacherib's son and successor Esarhaddon (680-669), the Assyrian armies defeated the Cimmerians, who had threatened Anatolia, and advanced to Egypt, which was evacuated by the last pharaoh of the Nubian dynasty, Taharqa.
The end of the Assyrian occupation of Egypt was probably partly due to the fact that the viceroy of Babylonia, Aššurbanipal's older brother Šamaš-šuma-ukin, had revolted.
The people of Babylon defeated an Assyrian army, and according to the Babylonian chronicle known as ABC 2, the Babylonian general Nabopolassar was recognized as king on 23 November 626.

 "Forgotten Empires" Remembered - Text
One of his first acts as king was to restore the native succession in Babylon (the coup which brought him to power is attributed to a religious outrage at his father's sack of the holy city of Babylon).
Judging from the letter sent by Burnaburiash II to the king of Egypt,[36] in which he demands that he do no business with the Assyrian, his servant, it seems that we have the same system of tiered authority as in Israel and Syria at this time.
The fact that the Assyrian kings who reigned at the same time have been preserved in the list at all is curious.

The oldest version of the King List is that of the Chronicle of Julius Africanus, a Libyan who flourished early in the IIIrd Century A.D., which is preserved in the Chronicle of Eusebius, Bishop of Caesarea (born A.D. 264, died about 340).
If the versions of the King List of Manetho according to Africanus and Eusebius be compared, it will be seen that they do not agree in the arrangement of the dynasties, or in the lengths of the reigns of the kings, or in the total number of kings assigned to the different dynasties.
If the List of Kings were perfectly preserved this would not be the case; as it is, the principal evidence by which the general date of this dynasty is fixed consists of two passages in cylinders of Nabonidus.

 Does God's judgment infringe on people's free will inappropriately?
Assyrian scribes of the 1st millennium bc listed kings of Assyria from remote times, with a line almost unbroken spanning 1,000 years (ANET3, pp.
Heading the list are the names of ‘seventeen kings who lived in tents’; long considered legendary, personifications of tribes, or fictitious, they now seem to have an historical basis with the discovery at Ebla of a treaty naming the first of them.
From the 17th century bc survives a list of kings of Babylon, their ancestors and predecessors, sharing some names with the early part of the Assyrian King List.

The Amarna correspondence reveals that the Hittite king Suppiluliuma I was a contemporary of Akhenaten; during the 19th Dynasty, Ramesses II fought against the Hittite ruler Hattusili III and the two later made a non-aggression pact.
Inscriptions suggest that the kings of the Suhis dynasty, who bore the title 'Lord of the Country of Carchemish', were contemporary with another line whose shadowy rulers claimed the higher status of 'Great King', a title borne by kings of Carchemish and Hattu_a in the Empire period.

A group of 10 kings are recorded in the Abydos kinglist but are omitted in the Turin Canon of Kings (a Netjerkare [Abydos] = Neitiqerti [Turin]).
It consisted of 19 kings and queens-regnant, all of pure Macedonian origin; characterized by frequent intermarriage between the king and his sister, often with the queen or queen-mother as coregent ruling with the king.
Overweaning ambition and greed in the royal family was the cause of frequent palace coups and assasinations, with kings and despots frequently losing and regaining the throne (all of which tends to confuse the chronology).

 Chapter 1: CONCLUSION (SOTHIC DATING)
The official list ran back to 1068 BC, but James shows that anything before the 400s BC must be regarded with suspicion, because it seems to have been invented at that time.
Both Mitchell and James argue that Ptolemy's King List — a backbone of later ancient world chronology — is correct because an eclipse noted by the Assyrian King List, assumed to have been visible at Nineveh (the capital), happened in 763 BC during the reign of the king Ptolemy says ruled at that time.
It may be that all the rulers listed by Ptolemy actually did hold the throne, but they may have reigned for shorter times than he alloted them.

A seeming problem for my proposed EA Assyrian revision though is that the king lists we have been discussing do not name Tukulti-Ninurta at all as father of Ashur-nadin-ahhe (or Eriba-Adad), even though the latter, as Ashurnasirpal, is said to have been the son of Tukulti-Ninurta.
The kings of this dynasty were - like Zimri-Lim the grandfather of Ben-Hadad, who had close connections with Iarim Lim of Yamkhad [6200] - originally from western Syria; hence their western Semitic names.
