Description:

DATING THE FALL OF BABYLON AND UR by Gerard Gertoux

Shalmaneser I (N°77) states in his inscriptions that the temple of Assur
(Ehursagkurkurra) was built by Ušpiya and rebuilt by Erišu I, then 159 years later by Šamšî-Adad I and 580 years later by himself. Shalmaneser I does not specify the point used to determine these durations, but Esarhaddon gives a figure of 126 years for the duration between Erišu I and Šamšî-Adad I, proving that Shalmaneser I included the 33- year reign of Šamšî-Adad I in his calculation (159 = 126 +33). The 159 years must therefore start at the end of the reign of Erišu I to the end of the reign of Šamšî-Adad I and 580 years are completed at the beginning of the reign of Shalmaneser I (1271 BCE). So there are 421 lunar years ago (421 = 580 - 159) between the reigns of Šamšî-Adad I and Shalmaneser I, or a duration of 409 solar years101, which sets the end of the reign of Šamšî-Adad I in 1680 (= 1271 + 409)
