  1. Parshatatar

    Unreferenced auto yes date December 2009 Parshatatar , or Par atar, the name of a Hurrian king of Mitanni in the fifteenth century BC. He may be the same individual as king Barattarna. Barattarna , also spelled Parattarna, was a king of the Hurrian kingdom of Mitanni in the fifteenth century BC. None of his own records have yet been found, but his name is mentioned in a record from Nuzi dated to when king Barattarna died and was cremated . More information is included in the biography of Idrimi of Alalakh . Barattarna ruled over the Hurrians and made Idrimi his vassal. Mitanni in his time probably extended as far as Arrapha in the east. Barattarna may have been the Mitannian king the Egyptian Pharaoh Thutmose III encountered by the river Euphrates in his campaign of year 1447 BC. This can however only be deduced by comparing the chronology of ancient Egypt and Mitanni at a later date and working back the figures.

Accessed 15 Dec 2010. ref was an ancient kingdom or city state of some importance that reached its peak ca. 2500 2400 BC. Its exact location is unknown, but is thought to have been located in the western Zagros mountains roughly between Elam and Assyria , possibly near Nuzi or modern Hamadan . Hamazi first came to the attention of archaeologists with the discovery of a vase with an inscription in very archaic cuneiform commemorating the victory of Utug or Uhub , an early king of Kish Sumer Kish , over this place, causing fringe theorist Laurence Waddell in 1929 to speculate that it was to be identified with Carchemish in Syria . It is now generally considered to have been somewhere in the vicinity of the Diyala River Diyala . One of the earliest references to Hamazi is found in the epic Enmerkar and the Lord of Aratta , where Enmerkar prays to Enki about the confusion of languages in the various inhabited lands, at the time of the building of the ziggurat s in Eridu and Uruk . Hamazi is the only land mentioned in this prayer with the epithet many tongued . A sequel, Enmerkar and En suhgir ana also mentions that the sorceror of Hamazi, Urgirinuna, went to Aratta after Hamazi had been destroyed he is later sent by the Lord of Aratta on a failed mission attempting to bring Enmerkar into submission. According to the Sumerian king list , king Hadanish of Hamazi held hegemony over Sumer after defeating Kish, but was in turn defeated by Enshakushanna of Uruk . A clay tablet found in the archives at Ebla in Syria bears a copy of a diplomatic message sent from king Irkab Damu of Ebla to king Zizi of Hamazi, along with a large quantity of wood, hailing him as a brother, and requesting him to send mercenaries in exchange.
