Mahmud of Ghazni

Of special interest to the biblical students are the discoveries made by Mr. Pinchas among some of the Babylonian tablets which have recently been acquired by the British Museum.

Four of them relate to no less a personage than Kudur Laghamar, or Cheddar Loamar, king of Elam, as well as to Eri-Aku, or Eriak, king of Larsa, and his son Dur-Mak-Ilani, to Tug-Hula, or Tidal, the son of Gazani, and to their war against Babylon in the time of Kham-Nurabi.

In one of the texts the question is asked, Who is the son of a king's daughter who has sat on the throne of royalty? Dur-Mak-Ilani, the son of Eri-Aku, the son of the lady Kur, has sat on the throne of royalty, from which it may perhaps be inferred that Eri-Aku was the son of Kudur Laghamar's daughter, and in another we read, Who is Kudur Laghamar, the doer of mischief? He has gathered together the Umam-Manda, has devastated the land of Beal, Babylonia, and has marched at their side.

The Umam-Manda were the barbarian hordes of the Kurdish mountains, on the northern frontier of Elam, and the name corresponds with that of the Goyim or nations in the fourteenth chapter of Genesis.

Look at the names of these detachments.

Salahuddin or Saladin, Ghaznavi, Tariq, Babur, Qasim as in Muhammad bin Qasim, Khalid, Sikandar.

Sikandar, now I'm a little bit, little bit, little bit confused about which Sikandar it is because one Sikandar is the Sikandar Alexander, and I know that lots of Muslim rulers after that have been named Sikandar, and Sikandar is a name which is often used by, by Muslims.

So is it about a Kashmiri iconoclast, Sikandar Sikandar Shah Miri, who was in 14-- who was between 14th and 15th century, 1389 to 1413.

This force actually got to the outskirts of Srinagar, s-some elements of it.

Nusrat Force in area Rajauri-Mender.

Ghaznavi Force in area Dharial-Dhanmandi-Budil.

This force also made some progress but ultimately was, ultimately was stopped.

In the middle of the eleventh century, some twenty-five years before the Norman won the broad lands of the Saxon, a great revolution took place in the East.

The iconoclast Mahmud of Ghazni had left his kingdom in his successor's feebler grasp, and the fierce Tartar tribes, which roamed beyond the Oxus in that officina gentium of the East, had risen against his authority, and had driven him, an exile, southwards beyond the Hindu Kush.

The sceptre of Persia thus passed to the invading chief, who, under the name of Togrul Beg, established the Seljukian dynasty, a memorable name amid the shadows which chase one another so rapidly across the scene of Oriental history.

It was the Seljukides who caused the Crusades.

Of special interest to the biblical students are the discoveries made by Mr. Pinchas among some of the Babylonian tablets which have recently been acquired by the British Museum.

Four of them relate to no less a personage than Kudur Laghamar, or Chedor Loamer, king of Elam, as well as to Eriaku, or Eriak, king of Larsa, and his son Durmak-Ilani, to Tug-Hula, or Tidal, the son of Gazani, and to their war against Babylon in the time of Khamnurabi.

And then later, I read an account of the last days of Ferdowsi.

This is an old account which describes how, as you say, heartbroken he was after finding that having produced this tremendous monument of literature, the Shahname, how poorly it was received, how there was so little enthusiasm at the court of his patron, Mahmud Ghaznavi.

So much so that he left in utter despair and felt that his life work had come to nothing.

He received a paltry reward and felt that somehow all of that energy and effort that he poured into it had come to naught.
