Sngr/Samḫarû/Sanḫara/Šinʿār and the Implications for Early Kassite History

Clayden, Tim

Abstrak

This is a detailed review (date, context and usage) of the use of the Old Testament toponym Šinʿār = Babylonia and its cognate terms in Akkadian (Samḫarû/Samḫara) in Babylonian and Hittite sources, and Sngr in Egyptian documents. The study demonstrates that the earliest use of the term across the various sources should be linked to the arrival of the Kassite peoples in seventeenth-sixteenth centuries BCE on the middle-Euphrates from where they entered Babylonia – the evidence for which is reviewed including a possible link between the Kassite royal name ‘Agum’ and a late third-millennium BCE Eblaite deity.
