Battle of the Ulai River
Part of the mural of the Battle of the Ulai River, which was fought by the Assyrian army led by Ashurbanipal against Elam. The history of the mural dates back to the year 650-660 BC. It is from the southwestern palace of Ashurbanipal in Nineveh.
The Battle of Ulay, or the Battle of the Ulay River, or the Battle of Tel Toba, or the Battle of the Karkheh River, is a battle that took place between the Assyrians and the Elamites in the year 653 BC, where the battle ended with the victory of the Assyrians led by Ashurbanipal.
The scene here shows one of the nobles of Elam, whose name is Ortak. He is the brother-in-law of the king of Elam, Tioman, and who was killed in this battle... Ortak was wounded by an arrow and talking to an Assyrian soldier in front of him. The writing on the mural shows what the nobleman asks of the Assyrian soldier and its translation.
