This 1910 image shows a boundary stone of Marduk-apla-iddina II. Babylonian Kudurrus, also known as narûs or boundary stones, served as proof that land was given to someone by the king and described the boarders of the land. Marduk-apla-iddina II was a Chaldean leader from the Bit-Yakin tribe, originally established in the territory that once made the Sealand in southern Babylonia. He seized the Babylonian throne in 722 BC from Assyrian control and reigned from 722 BC to 710 BC, and from 703 BC to 702 BC
