Some of these titles are universalistic, indicating the king's desire to rule over the whole known world, while others are territorial, indicating the Assyrian ruler's desire to control a particular region/land/which he conquered, such as "king of Karduniaš" (šar māt Karduniaš) or "king of Sumer and Akkad" (šar māt Šumeri u Akkadî). Thus, during the reign of Tukultī-Ninurta I, the Assyrian royal titulary consisted of many different components, of titles and epithets of very different geographical, political, geopolitical and temporal origins (Early Dynastic III period, Akkad period, Ur III period, Old Babylonian epoch and Kassite period). All of these various southern and northern Mesopotamian traditions were incorporated into a Middle Assyrian tradition at this time. The following titles and epithets (only some are exemplified here) were used by no other ruler before him: • šar ḫuršāni u namê rapŝūti - "king of wide mountains and plants". • šar šarrāni - "king of all kings". • maḫir bilti kabitti ša kibrāt arbaˀi ina āl Aššur - "the receiver of the tribute from four regions of the world in Assur". • šamšu kiššat nišē - "sun/sun god of all people" (invention of Tukultī-Ninurta I, modification of the title of Shalmaneser I - šar kiššat nišē - "the king of all people"). • Tukultī-Ninurta I also used traditional universalistic titles such as šar kiššati - "king of the world" and šar kibrāt arbaˀi - "king of the four corners". This second šar kibrāt arbaˀi (invention from the Akkad period) was used by him as the first among the Assyrian rulers. In Babylonia, this title was not foreign and was used for a long time. It was not until the time of Tukultī-Ninurta I that it came to Assyria. • After the conquest of Babylonia, Tukultī-Ninurta I also used geopolitical titles with reference to the newly conquered land such as šar māt Karduniaš - "King of the Land of Karduniaš" (title of the Kassite kings), šar māt Šumeri u Akkadî - "King of the Land of Sumer and Akkad" (title of the New Sumerian, then Babylonian and Kassite kings), šar Sippar u Bābili - "King of Sippar and Babylon" (ancient Babylonian title), šar tâmti elīti u šupalīti - "King of the Upper and Lower Seas" (universalistic title, known already since Lugalzagesi's and Sargon's times). Tukultī-Ninurta's death was followed by processes of decentralization and disintegration of the Middle Assyrian Empire. In terms of power politics, this event was also reflected in the titles of his successors. In the course of approximately 80-90 years following the death of Tukultī-Ninurta I, from 1206/1205 to 1115 BC, Assyrian kings relinquished a significant portion of Tukultī-Ninurta I's titles and epithets (especially the universalistic ones) and only king Tiglath-pileser I35 (1115-1076 BC) restored them (for a short time) as a mightiness of the Middle Assyrian empire as well. Finally, later in the Neo-Assyrian period (10-7th centuries BCE), many of these titles and epithets were actively used and emphasized again by several Neo-Assyrian kings (e.g., Shalmaneser III, Sargon II, Sennacherib, Esarhaddon and Assurbanipal). Artikkel käsitleb Kesk-Assüüria impeeriumi kõige võimsama ja tuntuma valitseja Tukultī-Ninurta I propagandat, keskendudes tema kõige olulisematele tiitlitele ja epiteetidele. Teadagi on kuningliku ideoloogia ja propaganda üheks oluliseks elemendiks kuninglik titulatuur. Analüüsides Tukultī-Ninurta I titulatuuri on võimalik mõista, milline oli selle kuninga poliitilisideoloogiline programm ja millised olid geopoliitilised ambitstioonid. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: Estonian refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Mäetagused is the property of Estonian Literary Museum, Department of Folkloristics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
