In case of Mesopotamia for the 2nd millennium B.C., two chronologies are used, the middle chronology and the short chronology, diverging for the beginning of the reign of Hammurabi by 64 years (1792 respectively 1728). see article Chronology of Babylonia and Assyria, from <A HREF = "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronology_of_Babylonia_and_Assyria">Wikipedia</A> <BR> For the elder history of Egypt, there seems to be disagreement over dates as well, with a smaller discrepancy (Battle of Qadesh 1299 respectively 1286). see article on Egyptian chronology from <A HREF = "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_chronology">Wikipedia</A>. <BR> We have to keep in mind, that many historical data are reconstructed, according to lists of kings (the sources would list a certain event to have appeared in the year 8 of the rule of king soandso). In the case of Egypt, our lists of kings/dynasties are interrupted by interregna; in Mesopotamia similarly there are poorly documented periods such as the era of Kassite rule over Babylon. </font></TD></TR></TABLE> <BR><BR> <TABLE border = "0" cellspace="0" cellpadding="0" align="center"> <TR> <TD align = "left" valign = "center" width = "150"> <font face = "Times Roman" size = "2"> 2350-2112 <BR> 1991-1570 <BR> 1894-1595 <BR> 1600-1200 <BR> 1570-1070 <BR> 1530-1170 <BR> 1500-1360 <BR> 1340-746 <BR> 860-585 <BR> 750-645 <BR> 746-609 <BR> 730-656 <BR> 625-549 <BR> 625-539 <BR> 559-330 <BR><BR> 2334-2279 <BR> 1792-1750 <BR><BR> 1650-1550 <BR> 1595 <BR> 1367-1350 <BR> 1347-1338 <BR> 1290-1224 <BR> 1286 (or 1299) <BR> 1269 <BR> 1225 <BR> 1200 <BR> 1160 <BR> 1120 <BR> 814 <BR> 722 <BR> 695 (or 676) <BR> 690 <BR> 671 <BR> 645 <BR> 644 <BR> 625 <BR> 612 <BR> 606 <BR> 590 <BR> 586 <BR> 585 <BR> 549 <BR> 546 <BR> 539 <BR> 525 <BR> 513 <BR> 500-494 <BR> 490-479 <BR> 334-330 <BR> </font></TD> <BR><TD align = "left" valign = "center" width = "560"> <font face = "Times Roman" size = "2"> <A HREF = "../../histdic/wh/hdearlyemp.html#akkadianemp">Akkadian Empire</A> <BR> Egypt : Middle Kingdom (12th to 17th Dynasties) <BR> <A HREF = "../../histdic/wh/hdearlyemp.html#babylonianemp">Babylonian Empire</A> <BR> <A HREF = "../../histdic/wh/hdearlyemp.html#hittiteemp">Hittite Empire</A> <BR> Egypt : New Kingdom (18th to 20th Dynasties) <BR> <A HREF = "../../histdic/wh/hdearlyemp.html#kassites">Kassites</A> ruled Babylonia <BR> Kingdom of <A HREF = "../../histdic/wh/hdearlyemp.html#mitanni">Mitanni</A> <BR> <A HREF = "../../histdic/wh/hdearlyemp.html#assyrianemp">Assyrian Empire</A> <BR> Kingdom of <A HREF = "../../histdic/wh/hdearlyemp.html#urartu">Urartu</A> <BR> Neo-Elamite Kingdom <BR> <A HREF = "../../histdic/wh/hdearlyemp.html#assyrianemp">Neo-Assyrian Empire</A> <BR> Egypt ruled by Nubians (from <A HREF = "../../histdic/wh/hdearlyemp.html#kush">Kush</A>) <BR> Empire of the <A HREF = "../../histdic/wh/hdearlyemp.html#medes">Medes</A> <BR> <A HREF = "../../histdic/wh/hdearlyemp.html#neobabylonianemp">Neo-Babylonian Empire</A> <BR> <A HREF = "../../histdic/wh/hdearlyemp.html#persianemp">Persian Empire</A> <BR><BR> rule of <A HREF = "../../biographies/wh/bioearlyemp.html#sargon">Sargon</A> of Akkad; established <A HREF = "../../histdic/wh/hdearlyemp.html#akkadianemp">Akkadian Empire</A> <BR> or 1728-1686, <A HREF = "../../histdic/wh/hdearlyemp.html#babylonianemp">Babylonian Empire</A> : rule of <A HREF = "../../biographies/wh/bioearlyemp.html#hammurabi">Hammurabi</A>, est.
