Wayward textbook Assyriology has Esarhaddon succeeding Esarhaddon succeeding Esarhaddon

by Damien F. Mackey Now, knowing historians, it is not surprising to find that these two different names for the one king, Esarhaddon and Ashur-etil-ilani-mukin-apli, have become a source of serious confusion and duplication. As we learn from CAH, Vol. XX, pt 1: https://www.attalus.org/armenian/kvan1.htm Esarhaddon was also given the name, Ashur-etil-ilani-mukin-apli: Tiglath-pileser was originally Pul, his successor Shalmaneser V was Ululai, and the present writer argued many years ago that Sargon had borne the name of Yarib (Hosea v, 13), while inscriptions tell us that Esarhaddon had the further name of Ashur-etil-ilani-mukin-apli. Before we go any further, some comments can be made about this statement. With Tiglath Pileser being the same as Shalmaneser so-called V, then we need to see a connection between those two ‘nick-names’, Pul and Ululai. “Yarib”, in Hosea 5:13, was indeed Sargon II as Sennacherib, Sîn-aḥḥē-erība. Now, knowing historians, it is not surprising to find that these two different names for the one king, Esarhaddon and Ashur-etil-ilani-mukin-apli, have become a source of serious confusion and duplication. For the royal succession now has, in the space of just three names, two kings named Ashur-etil-ilani-: Esarhaddon - Ashur-etil-ilani-mukin-apli; Ashurbanipal; Ashur-etil-ilani. There are yet further alter egos required for Esarhaddon, with a major one being Nebuchednezzar ‘the Great’. In the latter, Esarhaddon and Ashurbanipal can be fused together as the one king. Thus: Esarhaddon a tolerable fit for King Nebuchednezzar https://www.academia.edu/124165948/Esarhaddon_a_tolerable_fit_for_King_Nebuchednezzar and: King Ashurbanipal, the sick and paranoid Nebuchadnezzar of Daniel 4 (4) King Ashurbanipal, the sick and paranoid Nebuchadnezzar of Daniel 4 For further corroboration, see my articles: Ashurbanipal mirroring Esarhaddon in inscriptions, succession, maritime (4) Ashurbanipal mirroring Esarhaddon in inscriptions, succession, maritime Esarhaddon, re-named Ashur-Etil-Ilani-Mukin-Apli, and then duplicated by historians as Ashur-Etil-Ilani (4) Esarhaddon, re-named Ashur-Etil-Ilani-Mukin-Apli, and then duplicated by historians as Ashur-Etil-Ilani If all of this is correct, then we effectively have Esarhaddon, succeeded by Esarhaddon, succeeded by Esarhaddon.
