There is also strong evidence from cuneiform documents that prior to the reign of Nabopolassar (the first king of the Neo - Babylonian period), another king (Ashur - etel - ilani) ruled for four years in Babylonia.
Kiilkirjadokumentidest leiab ka kaalukaid tõendeid selle kohta, et enne Nabopolassarit (Uus - Babüloonia esimene kuningas) valitses Babüloonias neli aastat teine kuningas (Ašur - etel - ilani).
