Who was famous ruler of mari? |
| Answer» Zimrilim was the famous ruler of mari<br>Dhanush<br>Kings of Mari: The kings of Mari were Amorites whose dress differed from that of the original inhabitants. They respected not only the gods of Mesopotamia but also raised a temple at Mari for Dagan, god of the steppe. Mesopotamian society and culture were thus open to different people and cultures. This intermixture of different cultures catalyzed the vitality of the civilization. However, the kings of Mari used to be vigilant for any suspicious activity by the herders of various tribes.Mari is a good example of an urban centre prospering on trade. It is located between the south and the mineral rich uplands of Turkey, Syria and Lebanon; a prime position for trade. Boats carrying various items of trade would stop at Mari on their way to the southern cities. Officers would go aboard, inspect the cargo and levy a charge of about one-tenth the value of the goods; before allowing the boat to continue downstream. In spite of not being militarily strong, Mari was exceptionally prosperous because of trade. | |
