Tiglathpileser III, KING OF BABYLON
Tiglathpileser III. He seized the city of Babylon in 729, during the third year of the reign of Ukinzer
Sumerian King List and Biblical history. The following chart is from Berossus' transcribers.
| Dynasty II | 8 Medes | 224 years (the Armenian copy reads 234) |
| Dynasty III | 11 Chaldeans | NO YEARS ASSIGNED, AS DYNASTY WAS CONTEMPORARY. (In margin of Armenian version 48 years is noted.) |
| Dynasty IV | 49 Chaldeans | 458 years |
| Dynasty V | 9 Arabians | 245 years (Semiramis II reigned during this period.) |
| Dynasty VI | 45 Chaldeans | 526 years to seizure of Babylonia by Pul. |
The dates for these dynasties may easily be restored. Pul, in Babylonian history, is Tiglathpileser III. He seized the city of Babylon in 729, during the third year of the reign of Ukinzer. See the "Babylonian Chronicle", Col I. Tiglathpileser considered this his first year; the Babylonians considered it his accession year assigning it to Ukinzer. Ptolemy coupled them together and designated the period as that of Chinziros and Poros.
| Dynasty VI | continued 526 years | -- | 1255 to 729 |
| Dynasty V | for 245 years | -- | 1500 to 1255 |
| Dynasty IV | for 458 years | -- | 1958 to 1500 |
| (Dynasty III | for 48 years | -- | 2006-1958) |
| Dynasty II | for 234 years | -- | 2192-1958 |
or

| 224 years | -- | 2192-1968 |
Skipping for the moment other parallel Dynasties, notice that Uruk III was succeeded by the Dynasty of Akkad. Uruk III -- composed of one king Lugal-zaggisi -- extended for 25 years to 1632.
Sargon of Akkad
The greatest name in Babylonian history in this period is undoubtedly that of Sargon "the Great" -- first king of the Akkadian Dynasty. The history of this dynasty has been confused by the Weld-Blundell Prism 444. The complete and correct record is that of the Nippur lists. Prism 444 is incomplete.
