Condizione: new. Pages: 222 Language: English. State Archives of Assyria Sudies. Volume XX Who were the Umman-manda? This is a question that has vexed Assyriologists since the early days of the discipline, particularly because the question has different answers at different times and in different places: Hurrians, Elamites, Medes, Cimmerians, Scythians-all have been cast as the Umman-manda by various peoples at various times. With intractable questions such as this, it is useful on occasion to recapitulate all the evidence that applies to the question, to integrate new evidence that has appeared since the last recapitulation, and to see if a new synthesis of the evidence is possible. In this work, Adali does precisely that. After collecting all the textual references to the Umman-manda, the author analyzes the writings, surveys the eytmologies proposed for the term Umman-manda over the years, and finally offers a new proposal for the etymology. He then investigates the nonliterary texts that mention the Umman-manda, seeking clues to their origins and ethnic makeup, finding, as others have, that the evidence is inconclusive and sometimes even contradictory. Turning to the literary texts as a source for the Umman-manda, the author finds more fertile ground. Leaving aside the potential historical kernel of the Cuthaean Legend of Naram-Sin because the available evidence does not speak to this issue, Adali turns his investigation to the Umman-manda as a lit erary topos. By investigating the motifs and terminology used in the Cuthaean Legend and comparing them with similar usage in other literary works, the author is able to establish a leitmotif for the Umman-manda and then identify this leitmotif in the royal inscriptions of Assyrian and Babylonian kings. While the question of who the original Umman-manda were remains a mystery, Adali's work offers new insights and a new outlook on the significance of the Umman-manda in the first millennium and particularly on the question of why the Umman-manda meant different things to different people at different times while, nevertheless, not all enemies were referred to as "Umman-Manda." It provides a new departure point for further investigations of the Umman-manda as well as for the use of literary allusions in both Assyro-Babylonian literature and royal inscriptions.

ISBN: 9789750843051 CATALOG: Archaeology KEYWORDS: Archaeology The Assyrians Excavation Anatolian civilizations Eastern Anatolia Southeast Anatolia Mesopotamia Middle East The city of Assur, and the kingdom with its name derived from this city, were established by the early 2nd millennium BC along the bank of the Tigris River in northern Iraq, and continued their existence almost uninterrupted for about 1400 years until the end of the 7th century BC. Assyrian king lists provide a chronology of kings with their capital cities. Albeit with some uncertainties, the sequence begins with the names of kings who reigned at the city of Aššur (Qal'at Sherqat) for more than 1000 years and continues in chronological order with kings who resided in the capital cities of the Neo-Assyrian Period, namely Kalhu (Nimrud), Dur-Šarruken (Khorsabad) and Nineveh (Koyunjuk). In this regard, among all states known in ancient Near Eastern history, the Assyrian Kingdom is one of those which maintained its political regime and its institutions of government for the longest time. The political model of governance that had begun to take shape in Mesopotamia during the 4th millennium BC in the lands of Sumer and Akkad matured under Assyrian rule throughout a long historical process of political development. The model of royal sovereignty and its associated institutions of governance and palace architecture, developed by the Neo- Assyrian Kingdom which built upon the experiences and traditions of deep-rooted Mesopotamian civilizations, were adopted and imitated in multiple ways by all kingdoms and empires which followed Assyria in the Near East.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The great empires of the vast Eurasian continent have captured the imagination of many. Awe-inspiring names such as ancient Rome, Han and Tang China, Persia, Assyria, the Huns, the Kushans and the Franks have been the subject of countless scholarly books and works of literature. However, very rarely, if at all, have these vast pre-industrial empires been studied holistically from a comparative, interdisciplinary and above all Eurasian perspective. This collection of studies examines the history, literature and archaeology of these empires and others thus far treated separately as a single inter-connected subject of inquiry. It highlights in particular the critical role of Inner Asian empires and peoples in facilitating contacts and exchange across the Eurasian continent in antiquity and the early Middle Ages.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. This book explores the origins of complex political organisation in Inner Asia, which enabled mighty empires, proto-state entities and confederacies such as the Cimmerians, Scythians and the Xiongnu Huns to emerge and dominate large swathes of the Eurasian continent during antiquity.The volume provides readers with an in-depth understanding of the origins and development of the quasi-feudal system of political organisation, which prevailed in Inner Asia during antiquity, how this supported the formation of imperial polities in the steppe zone, and the impact the expansion of these polities had on the politics, history and culture of both ancient Inner Asia and also China, the Middle East and Europe. It examines the historical and archaeological evidence for the Cimmerians and Scythians and their geopolitical impact on western Eurasia, exploring whether the complex political organisation in Inner Asia - which we see later among the Xiongnu and the Huns - originated with them or had even earlier antecedents.The Origins of Complex Political Organisation in Ancient Inner Asia is suitable for students and scholars of Near Eastern history and archaeology, the history and archaeology of Central and Inner Asia, and classical antiquity.…
