Removed from the article:
I've checked the Oxford History of Ancient Egypt & Georges Roux, Ancient Iraq (3rd ed.): neither mention Tiglath-Pileser receiving a gift of a crocodile from an Egyptian king, nor do the primary sources translated in my copy of ANET. If this happened, then it would be an important synchronism between Egyptian & Mesopotamian chronologies. I suspect this is, at best, a mistake in the original 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica. -- llywrch 04:37, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Sea Horse
Im not sure what the following sentence in the article means or from where was it taken: "on which he killed a nahiru or "sea-horse" (which A. Leo Oppenheim translates as a narwhal) in the sea." Iberieli (talk) 20:51, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
Sea Horse
See A. Kirk Grayson, Assyrian Rulers of the Early First Millenium BC, Toronto 1991, A. 0.87.3,16-25 und A.0.87.4, 67-71
Weidner in: Archiv für Orientforschung 18 (1957-1958), 344 and 352
Both regard the nahiru, which seems to be translated into "Blower" as a whale. It cannot be a narwhale, because they live in the artic. It must be a sperm whale, because its teeth are important enough to mention. If this is true, this story is a likely candidate for the world's oldest whaling record. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.68.142.47 (talk) 22:20, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
Wrong phrase
Article says: " His first campaign was against the Mushkiin 1112 B.C who had occupied certain Assyrian districts in the Upper Euphrates; then he overran Commagene and eastern Cappadocia, and drove the Hittites from the Assyrian province of Subartu, northeast of Malatia". This must be a mistake, because in 1112 aC the hitites don't exist (from near 1185 aC).--88.3.132.255 (talk) 17:46, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
