论文摘要
几十年来,学者交谈如何正确地将旧的巴比伦帝国纳入历史的绝对时间表。系列的Cuneiform文本Enuma Anu Enlil(EAE#20)报道了在月球和日食后巴比伦的破坏。日食为检查历史事件提供了一个很好的工具,该帐户将是我们调查日食对的基础,并将其安装在提出的各种时间表中。我们考虑了该文本的三种解释:文字理解,两种日食类型的倒数顺序以及将设置搬迁到Akkad。所有变体都显示出缺陷。当帐户利用第三种选择时,即如果分配给公元前2161年,则出现最小的并发症,因为这一年将标志着阿卡德的古蒂安规则的终结。但是无论如何,该帐户似乎支持长期的年表,而不是其他任何人。在延伸时,我们还允许在地球旋转不规则减速方面的可见度区域移动。
For many decades scholars converse how to correctly include the Old Babylonian Empire into the absolute timeline of history. A cuneiform text from the series Enuma Anu Enlil (EAE #20) reports on the destruction of Babylon after a lunar and solar eclipse. Eclipses provide a great tool for examining historic events, and this account will be our basis for the investigation of eclipse pairs to be fitted into the various chronologies proposed. We consider three interpretations of that text: literal understanding, the inverted sequence of the two eclipse types, and a relocation of the setting to Akkad. All variants show imperfections. The least complications emerge when the account draws upon the third option, i.e. if it is allotted to 2161 BCE, as the year would mark the end of the Gutian rule in Akkad. But in any case the account seems to support rather the Long Chronology than any other. When dealing with eclipses such far back in time, we also allow for the shift of the visibility zone in regard to the irregular deceleration of Earth's rotation.
