#8608: Spear Point, Mesopotamia / Luristan Circa 1,500 to 1,000 BC (Hittite Period) VERY LARGE Historical Context: Cultures of Mesopotamia were diverse and variegated.

The earliest culture is the Sumerians (circa 3000 to 1800 BC), but other cultures developed, including the Akkadians (2450 to 1800 BC), the Amorites (1800 to 1530 BC), the Hittites (1600 to 717 BC), and the Assyrians (1170 to 612 BC).

#9218: Spear Point, Kassite, 1,600 to 1,150 BC Historical Context: The Kassites conquered Elam and Babylonia with this type of weapon and is considered one of the more attractive spear tips made in antiquitiy. The Kassites were a Near-Eastern mountain tribe which migrated to the Zagros Mountains and Mesopotamia (present Doroud) in 3000 and 4000 BC. They spoke a non-Indo-European, non-Semitic language. They conquered Mesopotamia, bringing the Old Babylonian era to an end and for the first time welding together the network of independent, feuding city-states into a territory that can be called "Babylonia." According to the conventionally used Middle Chronology, Kassite hegemony in Babylon, Nippur and other centers lasted from about 1595 to 1155 BC. Description: Bronze Spear Point, Kassite

#9573: Spear Point, Ur III, 2,150 to 1900 BC Historical Context: Ur was an ancient city in southern Mesopotamia (modern day Iraq), located near the mouth (at the time) of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers on the Persian Gulf and close to Eridu. It is considered to be one of the earliest known civilizations in world history. The third dynasty was established when the king Ur-Nammu (or Urnammu) came to power, ruling between ca. 2112 BC and 2094 BC. During his rule, temples, including the ziggurat, were built, and agriculture was improved through irrigation. His code of laws, the Code of Ur-Nammu (a fragment was identified in Istanbul in 1952) is one of the oldest such documents known, preceding the code of Hammurabi by 300 years.

#8040: Spear Point, Middle Elamite period, 1,200 to 800 BC Historical Context: The Elamite Civilization started in the lowland Khuzestan about the late 4th and early 3rd millennia. Known as Elam, geographically, Elam included more than Khuzestan; it was a combination of the lowlands and the immediate highland areas to the north and east. Traditionally it was a federated governmental structure based an overlord ruling over vassal princes. In earliest times the overlord lived in Susa, which functioned as a federal capital. Elam appears in the Old Testament Table of Nations (Gen. 10.22), and an Elamite king whose name has comedown to us as Kedor-Laomer is mentioned in a later chapter of Genesis (14.1), as well.

#9220: Spear Point, Luristan, 1,000 BC Historical Context: The region of Iran known as Luristan, consists of the upper valleys of the Zagros Mountain chain, bordered by Iraq to the west, by Burudjerd and Nahavand to the east, by Khuzestan (ancient Elam) to the south, and Kermanshah to the north. Luristan was more extensively settled in ancient times than it is today and used to be home to farming lands, which presently are no longer cultivated. Akkadian texts also mention the presence of Kassites, who were of Asiatic origin, in Luristan from the beginning of the second millennium B.C.. Various other tribes settled there at the end of the second millennium, and at the beginning of the first millennium B.C., these were followed by other tribes. The Assyrians commenced their military campaigns into the Zagros region beginning in the 9th century B.C. The Cimmerians and Scythians invaded the region in the 8th and 7th centuries B.C., following a route running south of Lake Urumieh. Another wave of Iranian tribes occupied the area later.
