2146 BC - RULE OF LUGAL-KISALSI

## MAIN EVENTS

### 2180 BC - Nanni Zames of Ur seizes Nippur

In 2180 BC, Nanni Zames of Ur seized Nippur and overthrew Lugal-kinishe-dudu of Uruk, restoring kingship of Senar briefly to Ur. He was at war with Bactria-Elam, now being ruled by the ancient Camesenus himself as Zartushtra.

### 2175 BC - Camesenus beheaded

In 2175 BC, Camesenus marched out to Syria with an army to do battle with Nanni Zames. Nanni defeated, captured and beheaded him, finally ending his career.

### 2174-2145 BC - Rule of Lugal-kisalsi (Arius)

In 2174 BC, Lugal-kisalsi, also called Argandea (Arius), became king of Uruk, Ur and Kish. He was son of Lugal-kinishe-dudu of Uruk, though Meskiag-nanna, son of Nanni of Ur, apparently retained control of Nippur for a time.

Over the course of Lugal-kisalsi's reign, he and his forces subjected Elam as far as the Caspian region. The main report of this is in the ancient *Defloratio* chronicle: "Arius assembled his troops and conquered the Bactrians (ie Elam-Scythia) and all the Caspian tribes." Shubur seems to be a province in the Empire inherited by his successor Lugal-anne-mundu of Adab, so on this basis it can be speculated that this region too was subjected to Sumer at this time, but records of this century are rather scarce.

In Razenua, Cranus put his son Aurunus as Coritus over the Curetes of Saturnia in 2173 BC, and in 2150 BC Aurunus followed him as king of Razenua.

### 2172 BC - Abram invents plough in Ur

In 2172 BC, Abram invented the ox-drawn plough in Ur at the age of 15. This invention, over the next few years, spread throughout Mesopotamia, and then from there into Martu and Canaan, where it attracted the attention of Apis and Isis, who were already engaged in agricultural researches there.

In Egypt, Senen (Samonos) replaced Nebkaure as acting Pharaoh in 2159 BC.

### 2154 BC - Ingevon sends Brigus to rule Iberia

In 2155 BC, according to Magnus, the Goths too instituted formal idolatry as their state religion, as most other nations had already done by now.

In 2154 BC, King Yubelda of Iberia having died without heir, Ingevon of Mannhregya sent his commander Brigus the Moesian, who had been governor of Brigantia for Mannus, and of Moesia before that, to rule Iberia as king. During his reign he built numerous additional cities in Iberia.

### 2146 BC - Tyranny of Lycurgus of Thrace

In 2146 BC Lycurgus, king of Thrace, exerted tyranny over Thrace and Moesia, and expelled Mopsus the Moesian into Ingevon’s territory.
