About Puzur-Ashur III, King of Assyria

from en.Wikipedia Puzur-Ashur III: "Puzur-Ashur III was the king of Assyria from c. 1521 BC to 1498 BC. According to the Assyrian King List, he was the son and successor of Ashur-nirari I and ruled for 24 years (or 14 years, according to another copy).

He rebuilt part of the temple of Ishtar in his capital, Ashur, and the southern parts of the city wall.[3]"

He also began a program of great constructions in his capital Assur, such as in the city walls and in various temples. ¶ He was succeeded by his son Enlil-nasir I.
