Assur, accurately spelled as Aššur which denotes the correct pronunciation according to the voiceless postalveolar fricative,, was and is home to the Aššuri people. It was one of the capitals of ancient Assyria wholly known as the Empire of Aššur. The remains of the city are situated on the western bank of the river Tigris, north of the confluence with the tributary Little Zab river, in modern day Iraq, more precisely in the Al-Shirqat District.
Assyrian eclipse
The Assyrian eclipse is also known as Bur-Sagale (Bur-Saggile, Pur-Sagale or Par-Sagale) eclipse. It was recorded in Assyrian eponym lists, most likely in the 9th year of king Ashur-dan III. The actual short entry reads as follows: Bur-Sagale of Guzana, revolt in the city of Assur. In the month Simanu an eclipse of the sun took place.
