THE LAND OF YAMANU (IAMANU) IN THE ANNALS OF ASSYRIAN KING SARGON II

Öz

The annals of Assyrian kings have served as a fundamental source not only for identifying the political elements in Anatolia but also for understanding the historical geography of Anatolia during the Middle Iron Age. From the early stages of this period, the Assyrians established themselves as a significant power, exerting influence not only in Mesopotamia but also across Anatolia and the Eastern Mediterranean. Under Sargon II, Assyria's expansionist policies evolved into an effort to establish a world empire. In this context, Sargon II evaluated every possible scenario in which Urartu and Phrygia, the major obstacles to Assyrian dominance in Anatolia, would not pose a threat. The consolidation of Assyrian control over Central Anatolia was reinforced by maritime connections to the Eastern Mediterranean, and efforts were made to eliminate opposing forces in the region. The people of the land of Iamanu/Iamnaya, mentioned in records of these conflicts, were described as a group attempting to establish a presence in Central Anatolia and a region referred to as the "Western Sea" since ancient times. This study examines the earliest cuneiform records concerning the location of this land in the Eastern Aegean and its potential connection to Iamanu/Ionian. The primary source for this analysis is Sargon II’s campaign records related to the region.
