What are the top ten things that happened in 2013 B.C.E.? (So, anywhere in the world 4000 years ago)
Edit: 4025 years ago
In the ancient Sumerian city of Kisurra, the king, Ibbi Szamasz, is dethroned by Ur. source
Edit: Found a source that wasn't wikipedia.
To nitpick: 2013 BCE was 4,025 years ago. 4,000 years ago (from 2013 AD) would be 1988 BCE. ;)
1988 BCE, central Anatolia: Very approximately within the timeframe for the foundation of the Assyrian merchant colony in the city of Kaneš(Hittite Neša, modern Kultepe), which would grow to become one of the major entrepots of the early Bronze Age Near East and whose tablet archive is one of our most valuable sources on international commerce in this period. The colony lasted until the 18th century BCE, approximately the time when the city of Kaneš was conquered by the Anatolian and probably Indo-European speaking kings Pithana and Anitta.
