| Sumario: | Abstract:
In this paper we investigate the consequences for the
Assyrian Chronology of dating the end of the Middle
Kingdom in Egypt from around 1800 BC to 1530 BC. Dating
the New Kingdom in Egypt a minimum of 243 years later
than generally accepted implies the existence of
contemporaneous kings in Assyria. In the Assyrian King List
Enlil-kudur-usur appears as the last king of the lineage of
Ashur-uballit I, then is mentioned Ninurta-apil-Ekur son of
Ili-pada descendant of Eriba-Adad. We assume that Ili-pada
is the grandson of Eriba-Adad I and Ninurta-apil-Ekur
started a second royal branch. The consequence is that
Ashur-dan II is the son of Tiglath-pileser I. The
rearrangement of the Assyrian Kings results in a reduction
of about 250 years. A reduction of 250 years brings an end
to the Dark Ages in the Ancient Near East. |
