Description:

Gertoux, Gérard. A Dating of the Deluge is it Attainable?


The set of Assyrian reigns (which are without intercalation before Assur-Dan I), combined with the construction length between temples, enable us to date precisely the death of Samsî-Adad I [Assyria] in 1680 BCE, which fixes the reign of Hammurabi (1697-1654) and therefore those of Ibbi-Sîn (1936-1912) and Ammisaduqa (1551-1530).
