1877 BC - SESOSTRIS CAMPAIGNS IN RECHENU

## MAIN EVENTS

### 1890 BC - Ishbi-Erra supports Ur

Although himself of Amorite extraction, Ishbi-Erra of Isin began to suppress the Amorite migrants in 1890 BC. Ibbi-Sin of Ur after this began to campaign again against Elam, sometimes apparently with Ishbi-Erra's support. In 1885 BC Ibbi-Sin campaigned against Huhnuri and Anshan. Then in 1882 BC there was a campaign led by Ishbi-Erra that defeated Shimashki, evidently on behalf of Ibbi-Sin. In 1880 BC Ibbi-Sin defeated Susa and Anshan. In 1878 BC when Bilalama succeeded Kirkiri in Eshnunna, he was notably a vassal of Isin rather than of Senar, showing the growth of Ishbi-Erra's influence. By 1877 BC, when Ibbi-Sin subjected the Amorites, the Elamites were led by Kindattu, but they had been pushed back from their borders.

After the Great famine ended in 1885 BC, Ilushuma of Asshur gradually began to flood the markets of all Mesopotamia with cheap, discounted copper. This greatly benefitted the people of Mesopotamia by giving them enough metal to use as currency (by weight in those days; it would not be coined for some 1200 years). However this would eventually harm Ibbi-Sin as he found his influence waning in his later years, and Ilushuma's increasing along with that of Ishbi-Erra.

### 1890 BC - Senusret III (Sesostris) in Kemet

In 1890 BC Senusret III (Sesostris) became co-regent with Senusret II in Kemet. In 1882 BC Sesostris campaigned against Kush, then in 1880 BC he became sole Pharaoh in Kemet.

### 1879 BC - Atlas Kittim expels Heperus from Hispania

In 1879 BC King Hesperus of Hispania was overthrown by his brother Atlas Kittim, who expelled him to Tuscania.

In Tuscania, Hesperus took power following Alteus, who had succeeded Tuscus in 1888 BC. Spanish sources suggest that Hesperus with title over the south (Oenotria, now the new Hesperia) was regent for Alteus' grandson Camboblascon, who eventually came to actual power in Tuscania after 50 years, in 1829 BC following the regimes of Hesperus, Atlas and Morges.

### 1877 BC - Sesostris campaigns in Canaan

In 1877 BC Sesostris campaigned against southern Rechenu (Kenean) and Midian, defeating them at Shechem. This is while the Hebrews were still living in Goshen, Lower Kemet and prospering as merchants.
