Amar-Sin
Amar-Sin (or Bur-Sin) (ca. 1981-1973 BC short chronology) was the third ruler of the Ur III Dynasty. He succeeded his father Shulgi (ca. 2029-1982 BC).[1]
Year-names are known for all 9 years of his reign. These record campaigns conducted against Urbilum, and several other regions with obscure names: Shashrum, Shurudhum, Bitum-Rabium, Jabru, and Huhnuri.[2]
Amar-Sin's reign is notable for his attempt at regenerating the ancient sites of Sumer. He apparently worked on the unfinished ziggurat at Eridu.[citation needed] It has been suggested that this ziggurat was the origin of the story of the Tower of Babel.
The Babylonian Weidner Chronicle records the following: "Amar-Sin... changed the offerings of large oxen and sheep of the Akitu festival in Esagila. It was foretold that he would die from goring by an ox, but he died from the 'bite' of his shoe."
Eridu was abandoned during his reign[citation needed]. Salinity problems had made agricultural pursuits in this region unprofitable.
AmarPal
The affiliation has been made that various names of this king are the same be it AmarSin or AmraSin, AmarPal or AmraPal (the biblioal Amraphal that Iburrum (Abram) attacked (to save the family of Lot and all Sodom) in the 7th year of Amraphal. Abraham was bi-residential during Shulgi's rule from Abram's age of 27 to 75 and explains then why Genesis LXX versus Hebrew chronology varies these 48 years (1991-1943bc) when debating the 1st year of the Egyptian 12th dynasty. This places AmarPal in 1943bc with 7th year 1936bc ending his 9 years in 1934bc. The destruction of Ur in 1900bc with the death of Ibbi-Sin's 24 years (1925-1901bc) then agrees with Hindu theology which places Indian residency as 1200 years to 700bc, claiming Creation by Flood was 3102-3101bc, and of man as 5500bc.
Ziggurat of Nannar
Nannar means great mother or grandmother and is said to refer to the moon whose name was given as Sin (Suen /enSu). Thus the word for sin affiliates AmarSin with the tower as being great error. However, the 1st king of 108-year Ur III is UrNammu who himself expanded that tower in 2009bc to compete with Babel's Marduk Street project whos 52-year calendar goes back either 7 cycles in Hebrew (2368bc), or as 936 years back to 2945bc (NeoBabylon), or as 949 years back to 2958bc (Greek). Thus the original tower precedes AmarSin, precedes UrNammu, and precedes the Marduk temple's 52 years (2060-2009bc). Astrally, the Bible's 427 years to Abram's desertion is the Jupiter cycle that completes approximate exact orbits (36) and drifts a full year away from regarding it as a 12-year pattern in 360-day calendar; and continues 4x 12 yrs studied by Shulgi (whose name and idols give us the english word dungi). Further, with Venus returning to position in 243 Julian years, continues in an 8-year cycle (17x 8 yrs to Shulgi, and 6x 8 yrs ruling).
