Around 1790 BC, the Babylonian Hammurabi took the throne, the principal god of Babylonians at that time was Marduk. Royal correspondence shows that initially Hammurabi was merciful to Marie, receiving tribute from the leading broad trade city, but then the soldiers began to attack the city and its leading trading routes. Separate clashes turned into a real war, and in about 1760 BC the city was captured and looted.
Inscriptions on clay tablets indicate that the first boat Dagan advise kings Marie through prophecies, opened his temple priests. But then the kings of Babylon chose to appease rather than fight with him as advised Dagan, and they have ceased to apply to God. Once Dagan said traveler staying at his temple in the Turk: "Why do they no longer ask me to board, why did I not told of the battle?" His words conveyed traveler governor Turk, who in turn informed the king of Mari. Clay tablets, the message was found among the ruins of the imperial archives Marie.
Someone asked me, I did not invented the story. No, I answered, plates with the text of correspondence relating to the god Dagan, can be found in history books.
All the silence, and I stood a little pause, added: "I think none of the myths and fiction writer dodumalsya not be until this: deep in the quiet God complains that it ceased to consult."
