Ansud is known for warring against the Eblaites from a letter written by the later Mariote king Enna-Dagan. Reign Identity It has been proposed that a bead (reference M. 4439) discovered at Mari, was sent as a gift by Mesannepada of Ur to king "Hanusum" (Gansud) of Mari. This has now been corrected with new translations only giving Mesannepada as son of Meskalamdug:Description with photograph: It is unclear how this bead came to be in Mari, but this points to some kind of relation between Ur and Mari at that time. The bead was discovered in a jar containing other objects from Ur or Kish. The letter of Enna-Dagan is extremely difficult to read, and the word "Sa'umu" appeared in three passages of it.

List Of Kings Of Mari
The city of Mari, Syria, Mari in modern Syria was ruled by several dynasties in the Bronze Age. The history of the city is divided into three kingdoms. First kingdom The ''Sumerian King List (SKL)'' records a dynasty of six kings from Mari enjoying hegemony between the dynasty of Adab (city), Adab and the dynasty of Kish (Sumer), Kish. The names of the Mariote kings were damaged on the early copies of the list, and those kings were correlated with historical kings that belonged to the second kingdom. However, an undamaged copy of the list that date to the Old Babylonian period was discovered in Tell Leilan, Shubat-Enlil, and the names bears no resemblance to any of the historically attested monarchs of the second kingdom, indicating that the compilers of the list had an older and probably a legendary dynasty in mind, that predate the second kingdom. Second kingdom The chronological order of the kings from the second kingdom era is highly uncertain; nevertheless, it is assumed that ...

25th-century BC Monarchs
The 5th century is the time period from AD 401 (represented by the Roman numerals CDI) through AD 500 (D) in accordance with the Julian calendar. The 5th century is noted for being a period of migration and political instability throughout Eurasia. It saw the collapse of the Western Roman Empire, which came to a formal end in 476 AD. This empire had been ruled by a succession of weak emperors, with the real political might being increasingly concentrated among military leaders. Internal instability allowed a Visigoth army to reach and ransack Rome in 410. Some recovery took place during the following decades, but the Western Empire received another serious blow when a second foreign group, the Vandals, occupied Carthage, capital of an extremely important province in Africa. Attempts to retake the province were interrupted by the invasion of the Huns under Attila. After Attila's defeat, both Eastern and Western empires joined forces for a final assault on Vandal North Africa, but ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
