• (Geschiedenis) .Quelle 1

  Nabonassar (Babylonisch: Nabû-na?ir, van nabû = beschermt; Oudgrieks: ?aß???ssa??? / Nabonássaros), volgde de Chaldeeër Nabu-shuma-ishkun op als koning van Babylonië (747 tot 734 v.Chr.), zijn opvolger was zijn zoon Nabu-Nadin-Zeri.
  
  Hij regeerde vrijwel gelijktijdig met en ten dele onder bescherming van de Assyrische koning Tiglat-Pileser III en wist zich op de troon te handhaven tegenover de in Zuid-Babylonië dominerende Aramese en Chaldeese stammen, waarvan sommigen werden gedeporteerd. Door deze ingrepen werd de situatie in het Babylonische rijk stabieler dan het onder Nabonassars voorgangers was geweest. We kunnen dit ook afleiden uit het heropleven van de economie en het feit dat Nabonassar erin slaagde om de opvolging voor zijn zoon te verzekeren. In ruil voor de steun die Tiglatpileser III hem had gegeven, mocht deze zich "koning van Sumer en Akkad" noemen en vrij door de Babylonische territoria begeven. Toch zijn er meldingen van opstanden in Borsippa en Uruk. De koning stierf op zijn ziekbed in zijn paleis en zou worden opgevolgd door zijn zoon Nabu-Nadin-Zeri.
  
  Het jaar waarin hij de troon besteeg, vormt in de chronologie van het oude Mesopotamië een vast punt, daar de op historische en astronomische gegevens berustende Canon van Ptolemaeus tot dat jaar terugreikt.

  Nabû-na?ir, inscribed dAG-PAB or dAG-ŠEŠ-ir, Greek: ?aß???ssa??? from whence comes "Nabonassar," “Nabû (is) protector,”[1]:226 was the king of Babylon 747–732 BC, beginning a new era characterized by the systematic maintenance of chronologically precise historical records. Both the Babylonian Chronicle and the Ptolemaic Canon begin with his accession to the throne. He was contemporary with the Assyrian kings, Aššur-nirari V (755–745 BC) and Tiglath-Pileser III, the latter under whom he may have become a vassal, and the Elamite kings, Humban-Tahrah I (–743 BC) and Humban-Nikaš I (742–717 BC).[i 1]:9–10
  History
  
  Nothing is known of his provenance or origin. His three predecessors were Chaldean. The Dynastic Chronicle[i 2] may have been composed during his reign as it records the succession of kings from the antediluvian era until that of his immediate predecessor, Nabû-šuma-iškun.[2] It records that the “dynasty of Chaldea was terminated” (with Nabû-šuma-iškun) and “its kingship was transferred,” but the remainder is lost. He may also have commissioned a vituperative chronicle[i 3] which vilifies his predecessor for his sacrilegious actions and the Chronicle of Market Prices[i 4] which mentions the volatile costs of various commodities in reigns up until that of his predecessor. His name appears in the Eclectic Chronicle[i 5] but the context has not been preserved.
  
  His reign marks the reform of the Babylonian calendar, introducing regular calculated intercalary months, the eighteen-year cycle texts (the 223 month “Saros” cycle, named for Edmund Halley’s misreading of a passage in Pliny[3]) and perhaps even the zodiac.[4]:187,189 Berossus of Cos reported, in an account preserved by Syncellus, that it was from the reign of Nabû-na?ir onward that the movements and duration of the stars were recorded. He noted in his work Babyloniaca that "He gathered the records of his predecessors and destroyed them, thus ensuring that the history of the Chaldean kings began with him."[5]
  
  According to Claudius Ptolemy in his work Almagest, this gave rise to an era beginning noon on February 26, 747 BC when the Anno Nabonassari began, but prior to the Hellenistic period there is no trace of this era.[6] The Babylonian Chronicle[i 1] covering the years 747 to 668 BC, the best preserved exemplar of this genre, was possibly collated from Babylonian astronomical diaries,[7] although the earliest exemplar of these dates to 652 BC.[4]:188 The lists of celestial phenomena[i 6] started with the lunar eclipse of 747–746 BC[8] (February 6, 746 BC according to Britton[3]:90 and others[9]), a spectacular conjunction of the moon and the planets which may have inspired the commencement of recording of accurate astronomical observations.[1]:227
  
  The country “inherited” from Nabû-šuma-iškun was one riven by internal divisions and conflicts with the Aramean and Chaldean tribes, where the central authority was greatly diminished. In Nabû-na?ir's third year, the Assyrian general Tukulti-apil-Ešarra, better known under the Hebraic rendition "Tiglath-Pileser," came to power[i 1]:1–2 overthrowing the existing regime and in the first of two campaigns to secure his southern and eastern frontiers invaded Babylonia. During the first of these (745 BC) he sacked Rabbilu and Hamranu, abducted the gods of Šapazza,[i 1]:3–5 subjugated numerous Aramean tribes and destroyed the capital of the Chaldean tribe the Bit-Shilani, Sarrabanu, impailing its leader, Nabû-ušabši. His forces skirted the metropolitan areas of Dur-Kurigalzu and Sippar and may have reached as far as the region of Nippur.[10]:41
  
  Whether or not he actually solicited military aid, Nabû-na?ir seems to have been the main beneficiary of these actions as his regime was stabilized and he was subsequently able to put down a revolt in Borsippa.[i 1]:6–8 His hold over Uruk remained tenuous, as two local dignitaries complained of the neglect of the akitu temple in their inscription[i 7] commemorating their own restorations, usurping monarchic privilege.[11] Twenty-three tablets survive dealing with agricultural production, animal husbandry, weaving and sales from his first to his fourteenth year[6] and these seem to represent a recovery in economic activity.[10]:40 A letter archive excavated in 1973 in Nippur contains the correspondence between Kudurru the šandabakku or governor of Nippur and an individual of this name whose is greeted as “brother” which may be him.[12]
  
  He is recorded as having succumbed to illness and died in his palace during his fourteenth year.[i 1]:11 He was succeeded by his son, Nabû-nadin-zeri, the only known hereditary succession in Babylonia in a period from 810 BC to the rise of the Neo-Babylonian Empire in 626 BC.
