Article identifies locations of Bit Ištar and Niššaya/Irnisa in ancient Assyria, suggesting historical implications.
This article aims to locate the regions of Niššaya/Irnisa and Bit Ištar in the texts of Tiglath-pileser III and Sargon II, following on from the identification of Urattus with Mount Alvand proposed in a previous paper. In the inscriptions of the campaigns of Sargon II of 716 and 714 BC, the names of the rulers of Bit Ištar and Urattus are given as Burbuasu and Burburazu.
