1871 BC - DOWNFALL OF UR

## MAIN EVENTS

### 1875-1871 BC - Further campaigns of Sesostris

In 1875 BC, the year Yakob passed away in Goshen and was buried in Canaan, Sesostris campaigned again in Nubia, but in 1872 BC had to retreat from Nubia. In 1871 BC, he took a Kemet army through his conquered possessions in Rechenu (Kenean), then through Cilicia, Luwia and Ionia which were already nominally subject to Kemet since Apis had passed through, but had begun to grow more autonomous; Sesostris now resecured their submission. (Tuscania now subordinate to Hesperia under Hesperus, was quite independent of Kemet). Sesostris then crossed into Europe and resubjected Moesia.

### 1875 BC - Aryans and Elamites destroy Melukha

In the 10th year of Orthopolis in Sicyon, which is ca. 1875 BC, as Jerome noted "The Ethiopians, originating from the Indus River, settled near Egypt." This can only mean the Joktanite tribe of Ophir, who were last reported in "India" (Indus Valley Civilization) but next appear in Yemen with their kin, Saba and Havilah etc.. This allows an approximate date for the dimly remembered "Battle of Ten Kings" in the Veda, when Aryans from Scythia and Bactria, and Bharats (Elam being Ebarat after Ebarat I in c. 1895 BC) ended Puru, or Ophir (Melukha), and the remaining Puru merged with the invaders to form the Aryan Kuru nation. Thus the Veda misremembers all parties in the battle as 'Aryans'. Within a century Aryans had overrun all of Northern India (off map) and were even continuing to harass and raid the Ophir and Joktanites in Yemen by sea.

### 1874 BC - Teutanes succeeds Vandalus in Greater Swabia

In 1874 BC, Teutanes succeeded Wandalas in Greater Swabia, or Teutania as it came to be known.

### 1873 BC - Assyrians establish Karums in Hatti and Kanesh

In 1873 BC, Ilushuma was succeeded in Asshur by Erishum I. Asshur entered into a trading association with Kanesh and Hatti, with a heavy Assyrian merchant presence in each in the form of Karums, neighborhoods where they traded metals and textiles etc. especially to acquire copper to export to Mesopotamia. These areas came to rival the contemporary Hebrews in Goshen as trading centers for the Near East and beyond.

### 1871 BC - Elamites sack Ur

Ibbi-Sin's influence, and Senar's, had been steadily waning in his later years in favor of Ishbi-Erra of Isin, as well as Ilushuma of Asshur who had supplied Mesopotamia with much discounted copper, and Erishum. Ibbi-Sin and Ur also faced steady losses on the battlefield to the liberator Kindattu of Elam. In 1872 BC, the capital city of Ur was devastated by a hurricane, and the following year the Elamites sacked the city and brought the Ur empire to its end.

### 1871 BC - Lugdus succeeds Narbon in Celtica

Narbon of Celtica passed away in 1871 BC, by one account lynched after trying to institute a particularly harsh and intrusive law with stiff penalties against adultery, and was succeeded by Lugdus, who too found himself under attack, not just by Sesostris in Celtoscythia, but by Teutanes who also declared war on him soon after.
