The people living in the Sea-Land, the swampy district at the head of the Persian Gulf, had given trouble to the kings of the First Dynasty, and they retained their independence after the Kassites had conquered Babylon. Their last king, Ea-gamil, fired with ambition, invaded Elam, but he was signally defeated, and soon afterwards the Kassites of Babylon, under Agum, occupied the country.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "Conquest of the Sea-Land by the Kassites," transports us back to a pivotal moment in ancient Mesopotamian history. The artwork depicts the fierce battle between the Kassites and the inhabitants of the Sea-Land, a swampy region at the head of the Persian Gulf.
The people living in this challenging terrain had long resisted outside rule, even after Babylon fell to the Kassites. However, their last king, Ea-gamil, made a bold move by invading Elam only to suffer a crushing defeat. This paved the way for Agum and his forces from Babylon to assert control over this rebellious territory.
As we study this scene closely, we can sense the tension and drama unfolding on both sides of this conflict. The intricate details captured by artist Edwin A. Morrow bring to life an era filled with ambition, conquests, and struggles for power.
Through this historical illustration from Hutchinson's History of Nations, we are reminded of how civilizations rise and fall through warfare and diplomacy. It serves as a visual reminder of humanity's enduring quest for dominance over land and sea throughout time.
