Ashur-dan II Ashur-Dan II (Aššur-dān) (934-912 B.C), son of Tiglath Pileser II, was the earliest king of the Neo-Assyrian Empire. He was best known for recapturing previously held Assyrian territory and restoring Assyria to its natural borders, from Tur Abdin (southeast Turkey) to the foothills beyond Arbel (Iraq). The reclaimed territory through his conquest was fortified with horses, ploughs, and grain stores. His military and economic expansions benefited four subsequent generations of kings that replicated his model.

Early history of Thailand The known early history of Thailand begins with the earliest major archaeological site at Ban Chiang. Dating of artifacts from this site is controversial, but there is a consensus that at least by 3600 BCE, inhabitants had developed bronze tools and had begun to cultivate wet rice, providing the impetus for social and political organisation.

Aminu (Assyrian king) Aminu had been the twenty-sixth Assyrian monarch of the Early Period of "Aššūrāyu" ("Assyria") according to the "Assyrian King List" (AKL). Aminu is listed within a section of the AKL as the last of the, ""kings whose fathers are known"." This section (which in contrast to the rest of the list) had been written in reverse order—beginning with "Aminu" and ending with "Apiashal" “"altogether ten kings who are ancestors"”—and has often been interpreted as the list of ancestors of the Amorite "Šamši-Adad I" ("fl." "c." 1809 BCE) who had conquered the city-state of "Aššur". The AKL also states that "Aminu" had been both the son and successor of "Ila-kabkabu". Additionally, the AKL states that "Yazkur-el" had been both the predecessor and father of "Sulili".

Sennacherib Sennacherib (Akkadian: Sîn-ahhī-erība, "Sîn has replaced the brothers"; Syriac: ܣܝܢܚܪܝܒ‎ , "Sīnḥārīḇ " ; Hebrew: סַנְחֵרִיב‎ ] ] ) was the king of Assyria from 705 BCE to 681 BCE. He is principally remembered for his military campaigns against Babylon and Judah, and for his building programs – most notably at the Akkadian capital of Nineveh. He was assassinated in obscure circumstances in 681 BCE, apparently by his eldest son (his designated successor, Esarhaddon, was the youngest).

Aretas II Aretas II (Arabic: حارثة‎ ‎ "Ḥārthah"; Greek: Αρέτας "Arétās") was the King of the Nabateans. Succeeding Rabbel I, his reign began in 103 BCE and he ruled until 96 BCE. Aretas II was a contemporary of the Hasmonean king Alexander Jannaeus, whose expansionist policies were a direct threat to the Nabatean Kingdom. During the siege of Gaza by Jannaeus in 99, the besieged Gazans requested help from "Aretas, King of the Arabs", but he did not come to their aid and the city was destroyed. Aretas is credited with beginning Nabatean minting.

Ashur-resh-ishi I Aššur-rēša-iši I, inscribed "aš-šur-"SAG"-i-ši" and meaning “Aššur has lifted my head,” c. 1133–1116 BC, son of Mutakkil-Nusku, was a king of Assyria, the 86th to appear on the Assyrian King List and ruled for 18 years. The "Synchronistic King List" and its fragmentary copies give him as a contemporary of the Babylonian kings Ninurta-nādin-šumi, c. 1132-1126 BC, Nebuchadnezzar I, c. 1126–1103 BC, and Enlil-nādin-apli, c. 1103–1100 BC, although the last of these is unlikely if the current chronology favored is followed.

Kish civilization The Kish civilization or Kish tradition is a time period corresponding to the early East Semitic era in Mesopotamia and the Levant. Coined by Ignace Gelb, the epoch began in the early 4th millennium BC. The tradition encompasses the sites of Ebla and Mari in the Levant, Nagar in the north, and the proto-Akkadian sites of Abu Salabikh and Kish in central Mesopotamia which constituted the Uri region as it was known to the Sumerians.

Achaemenid Empire The Achaemenid Empire ( ; c. 550–330 BC ), also called the First Persian Empire, was an empire based in Western Asia, founded by Cyrus the Great. Ranging at its greatest extent from the Balkans and Eastern Europe proper in the west to the Indus Valley in the east, it was one of the largest empires in history, spanning 5.5 million square kilometers, and was larger than any previous empire in history. It is equally notable for its successful model of a centralised, bureaucratic administration (through satraps under the King of Kings), for building infrastructure such as road systems and a postal system, the use of an official language across its territories, and the development of civil services and a large professional army. The empire's successes inspired similar systems in later empires. It is noted in Western history as the antagonist of the Greek city-states during the Greco-Persian Wars and for the emancipation of the Jewish exiles in Babylon.

Artavasdes II of Armenia Artavasdes II (Ancient Greek: ΒΑΣΙΛΕΟΣ ΑΡΤΑΥΑΖΔΟΥ "Basileos Artavazdou", Armenian: Արտավազդ Երկրորդ "Artavazd Yerkrord") was a King of the Kingdom of Armenia from 54 BC until 34 BC and a member of the Artaxiad Dynasty. He succeeded his father, Tigranes the Great, also known as Tigranes II. Artavasdes II was an ally of Rome, but when Orodes II of Parthia invaded Armenia following his victory over the Roman general Marcus Licinius Crassus at the Battle of Carrhae in 53 BC, he was forced to join the Parthians. He gave his sister in marriage to Orodes' son and heir Pacorus.

Ninurta-apal-Ekur Ninurta-apal-Ekur, inscribed MAŠ-A-"é-kur", meaning “Ninurta is the heir of the Ekur,” was a king of Assyria in the early 12th century BC who usurped the throne and styled himself king of the universe and priest of the gods Enlil and Ninurta. His reign is immensely significant to the Chronology of the ancient Near East as it overlaps the reigns of his Babylonian contemporaries Adad-šuma-uṣur and Meli-Šipak.

Himyarite Kingdom The Ḥimyarite Kingdom or Ḥimyar (Arabic: مملكة حِمْيَر‎ ‎ , "Mamlakat Ḥimyar", Musnad: 𐩢𐩣𐩺𐩧𐩣, <a href="Hebrew%20language">Hebrew</a>: ממלכת חִמְיָר‎ ‎ ) (fl. 110 BCE–520s CE), historically referred to as the Homerite Kingdom by the Greeks and the Romans, was a kingdom in ancient Yemen. Established in 110 BCE, it took as its capital the ancient city of Zafar, to be followed at the beginning of the 4th century by what is the modern-day city of Sana'a. The kingdom conquered neighbouring Saba' (Sheba) in c. 25 BCE (for the first time), Qataban in c. 200 CE, and Haḍramaut c. 300 CE. Its political fortunes relative to Saba' changed frequently until it finally conquered the Sabaean Kingdom around 280. Himyar then endured until it finally fell to invaders from the Kingdom of Aksum in 525.

Ushpia Ushpia was an early Assyrian king who ruled Assyria ("fl." "c." 2030 BC), as the second last within the section "kings who lived in tents” of the Assyrian King List (AKL), however; Ushpia has yet to be confirmed by contemporary artifacts. According to the "Cambridge Ancient History", the conclusion of this section, "marked the end of the nomadic period of the Assyrian people," and, "visualized Ushpia as the actual founder of the Semitic city of Aššur." Ushpia is alleged to have founded the temple for the god Aššur within the city-state of Aššur, according to the much later inscriptions of both of these Assyrian kings: Shulmanu-asharedu I ("fl." "c." 1274 BC) and Aššur-ahu-iddin ("fl." 681 BC). Ushpia is succeeded on the AKL by Apiashal. Arthur Ungnad interpreted both Ushpia's and Kikkia's ("fl." "c." 2000 BC) names as being that of the Hurrian language (as opposed to the Assyrian dialect of the Semitic Akkadian language), but; Arno Poebel was not convinced by this interpretation and more recent research no longer holds Ungnad's thesis as tenable.

Wars of Alexander the Great The wars of Alexander the Great were fought by King Alexander III of Macedon ("The Great"), first against the Achaemenid Persian Empire under Darius III, and then against local chieftains and warlords as far east as Punjab, India. Alexander the Great was one of the most successful military commanders of all time. He was undefeated in battle. By the time of his death, he had conquered most of the world known to the ancient Greeks. Although being successful as a military commander, he failed to provide any stable alternative to the Achaemenid Empire—his untimely death threw the vast territories he conquered into civil war.

Ashur-uballit II Ashur-uballit II "(Aššur-uballiṭ II)" was the last king of the Neo-Assyrian Empire, succeeding Sin-shar-ishkun (623–612 BC). He took his name from Ashur-uballit I, the Assyrian king who had overthrown Mitanni Empire and defeated the Hittite Empire, and started the Middle Assyrian Empire (1365 BC–1020 BC). While it is clear that he was a member of the Assyrian royal family, and that he was a "tartan" (General) of the Assyrian army before declaring himself king, there is some disagreement as to whether or not he was the brother of Sin-shar-ishkun.

Adad-shuma-usur Adad-šuma-uṣur, inscribed , meaning "O Adad, protect the name!," and dated very tentatively ca. 1216–1187 BC (short chronology), was the 32nd king of the 3rd or Kassite dynasty of Babylon and the country contemporarily known as Karduniaš. His name was wholly Babylonian and not uncommon, as for example the later Assyrian King Esarhaddon (681–669 BC) had a personal exorcist, or "ašipu", with the same name who was unlikely to have been related. He is best known for his rude letter to Aššur-nirari III, the most complete part of which is quoted below, and was enthroned following a revolt in the south of Mesopotamia when the north was still occupied by the forces of Assyria, and he may not have assumed authority throughout the country until around the 25th year of his 30-year reign, although the exact sequence of events and chronology remains disputed.

Apiashal Apiashal had been an early monarch ("fl." "c." 2205 BCE — "c." 2192 BCE) of the "Early Period of Aššūrāyu" ("Assyria") according to the "Assyrian King List" ("AKL"). He is listed within the section of the "AKL" as the last of whom, ""altogether seventeen kings, tent dwellers"." This section shows marked similarities to the ancestors of the "First Babylonian Dynasty". The "AKL" also states that "Apiashal" had been preceded by his father "Ushpia" ("fl." "c." 2218 BCE — "c." 2205 BCE.) Additionally, the "AKL" states that "Apiashal" had been succeeded by his son "Hale" ("fl." "c." 2192 BCE — "c." 2179 BCE.)
