Tossup
This city is unusually referenced as the “wide land” in the so-called Agum-kakrime (“AG-um-KAK-rim-eh”) Inscription, which is only known from later copies. An “oracle question” about an attack on this city mentions the threat of troops from Idamaraz in the Kingdom of Khana. This city’s kingship passed to “E’urukuga” in a text indicating the founding of the First Sealand Dynasty. Kashtiliash IV’s (“CASH-til-ee-osh the fourth’s”) loss of this city is recounted in the Epic of Tukulti-Ninurta I. This city’s 1595 BCE sack by Mursili I’s forces gave way to its Late Bronze Age Kassite domination, which ended after Shutruk-Nakhunte (“SHOOT-rook NAH-khoon-teh”) conquered it and plundered a law code from this city’s “Old” period. The Esagila temple housed this city’s statue of Marduk. For 10 points, name this Mesopotamian city that was ruled during its Amorite period by Hammurabi. ■END■
