The Elamite ambassadors in Nineveh lose control …
Years: 657BCE - 646BCE
The Elamite ambassadors in Nineveh lose control when they see the head of Teumman; one tears out his beard and the other commits suicide.
As further humiliation, the head of the Elamite king is put on display at the port of Nineveh.
The death and head of Teumman is depicted multiple times in the reliefs of Ashurbanipal's palace.
Ashurbanipal, a scholar as well as a warrior, is collecting an enormous library of Babylonian, Assyrian, and Sumerian cuneiform literature at Nineveh.
