研究人员亚历山大·约翰内斯·埃德蒙兹(Alexander Johannes Edmonds)与埃克哈特·弗拉姆(Eckart Frahm)在2026年8月25日出版的《楔形文字研究杂志》(Journal of Cuneiform Studies)上发表了题为“亚述的三位新国王”的研究 1。该研究指出亚述王表遗漏了三位国王,这一发现或将改写古亚述历史 1。
这三位被遗漏的统治者分别是提格拉特帕拉沙尔(Tiglath-pileser)、沙尔马那塞尔(Shalmaneser)和阿淑尔-乌巴利特(Aššur-uballiṭ) 1。提格拉特帕拉沙尔约在公元前763年至公元前762年在位,与官方认可的国王阿淑尔-丹三世(Aššur-dān III)同时统治,其行政证据保存在大英博物馆的一块泥板上 1。沙尔马那塞尔在公元前745年提格拉特帕拉沙尔三世掌权前统治,证据来自1894年在伊拉克泰勒·阿卜塔(Tell 'Abta)发现的一块石碑 1。阿淑尔-乌巴利特约在公元前913年至公元前912年在位,其存在可解释图库尔蒂-尼努尔塔二世(Tukultī-Ninurta II)铭文中提到的祭酒器皿,并可能对应阿淑尔发现的一尊雕像中的王室人物 1。
研究人员认为亚述王表并非中立的编年记录 1。他们指出该王表是“为合法化国王而定期更新的正典”,用于删除短命或并行的新亚述统治者 1。
A study published in the Journal of Cuneiform Studies on August 25, 2026, reveals that the Assyrian King List omitted three rulers 1. Researchers Alexander Johannes Edmonds and Eckart Frahm detailed their findings in an article titled "Three New Kings of Assyria," reconstructing the existence of these rulers 1.
The first overlooked ruler is Tiglath-pileser, who reigned around 763 to 762 BCE concurrently with the officially recognized King Aššur-dān III 1. Administrative evidence for Tiglath-pileser's rule is preserved on a clay tablet housed in the British Museum 1. The second forgotten king, Shalmaneser, ruled prior to Tiglath-Pileser III's ascent to power in 745 BCE 1. Evidence for Shalmaneser's existence comes from a stele discovered in Tell 'Abta, Iraq, in 1894 1. The third omitted monarch is Aššur-uballiṭ, who ruled approximately between 913 and 912 BCE 1. His existence helps explain libation vessels mentioned in the inscriptions of Tukultī-Ninurta II and may correspond to a royal figure depicted in a statue found at Assur 1.
Edmonds and Frahm argue that the Assyrian King List was likely not a neutral chronological record, but rather a "canon regularly updated to legitimize kings, used to delete short-lived or parallel Neo-Assyrian rulers" 1.
