for the Central Asian ethnic group Lyuli Luli or Elulaios was king of the Phoenicia n city of Tyre Lebanon Tyre 729 694 BC . During his reign, Tyre lost what remained of its power to Assyria . The reign of Luli is characterized by several wars with Assyria. Tyre was tributary to Assyria, but Luli revolted against the Assyrians more than once. From 724 to 720 BC, Tyre was under siege, the port being blockaded by Shalmaneser III Shalmaneser . During the reign of Sargon II of Assyria Sargon , the Assyrians had occupied Cyprus , but following Sargon s death in 705, Luli reclaimed the island and its colony of Kition . In 701, after another revolt, Sennacherib forced Luli to flee to Kition. Tyre lost control over Sidon and Akko , being reduced to the city itself and its overseas colonies. After Luli s death, the kingdom of Tyre was ruled by a series of pro Assyrian monarchs and governors. References Maria Eugenia Albert The Phoenicians and the West. Politics, Colonies, and Trade.

Unreferenced date January 2008 Larnaca is the oldest living city of Cyprus and was originally known as Kition, or Kittium. Legend has it that the first settlement at the spot was founded by Noah s great grandson Kittim . Unlike other ancient cities of Cyprus, which were abandoned by their inhabitants, Larnaca from the time of its founding 6,000 years ago, has existed and still exists on the same site.

Remains of that period excavated in recent years can be seen in its Cyclopean walls and a complex of Mycenean temples. At one time the principal Phoenicia n colony in Cyprus, it later became a part of the Hellenistic world. The ancient site is at the north end of modern Larnaca. The earliest remains go back to the Mycenaean period Mycenean age ca 1400 BC 1400 &ndash 1100 BC and seem to mark an Aegean colony, but in historic times Citium was the chief center of Phoenician influence in Cyprus. That this was still a recent settlement in the 7th century BC is suggested by an allusion in a list of the allies of Assurbanipal of Assyria in 668 BC to a King Damusu Damasos of Karti hadasti Phoenician new city , where Citium would be expected. The same ten kings appear in an earlier list of Esarhaddon s 673 BC 673 672 BC , which might simply have been copied by Assurbanipal s scribes.
