The era of the early Kassite rulers is characterized by a dearth of surviving historical records. The principal sources of evidence for the existence of these monarchs are the Babylonian King List A, [i 1] which shows just the first six, and the Assyrian Synchronistic King List, [i 2] which gives their names indistinctly, and are compared below, after Brinkman.
The chronology of the first dynasty of Babylonia is debated; there is a Babylonian King List A [1] and also a Babylonian King List B, with generally longer regnal lengths. [2] In this chronology, the regnal years of List A are used due to their wide usage.
The First Sealand dynasty (URU.KÙ KI [nb 1] [1]), or the 2nd Dynasty of Babylon (although it was independent of Amorite-ruled Babylon), very speculatively c. 1732–1460 BC (short chronology), is an enigmatic series of kings attested to primarily in laconic references in the king lists A and B, and as contemporaries recorded on the Assyrian Synchronistic king list A.117.
The ancient Turin King List lists a mythical predynastic "reign of the gods" which first occurred 36,620 years before Menes (3050 BC), therefore dating the creation to around 39,670 BC. [7] Fragments from Manetho (Eusebius, George Syncellus and preserved in Felix Jacoby's FGrH), however, list different dates. [8]

At the height of the Middle Babylonian period, the Kassite kings were engaging in commerce, trade, and organising diplomatic marriages with the kings of Egypt and other regional powers. [1] [6] However, after a period of gradual decline, the Middle Babylonian period collapsed with the fall of the Kassite dynasty c. 1155 BC.
