Daniel Fleming discussed “early collective governance” in this polity, which was mostly comprised of Sim’alite and Yaminite tribal confederations. For 10 points each:
[10h] Name this polity founded in the early Bronze Age, a major rival of Ebla. “Terrestrial” and “celestial” domains are delineated in a painting from this polity showing a ruler’s “investiture.”
ANSWER: Mari [accept Tell Hariri] (The painting is the investiture of Zimri-Lim.)
[10m] The Ḫana “tent-dwellers” that Zimri-Lim of Mari relied on for military aid may provide the etymology of Ḫanigalbat, the Semitic name of this polity. Tushratta ruled this Hurrian-majority polity with an Indo-Aryan superstrate.
ANSWER: Mitanni [accept Naharin]
[10e] Six likely semi-legendary rulers of Mari appear on a “King List” in this Mesopotamian language, which lists holders of the title lugal before and after a flood.
