Kassite king captured by Tukulti-Ninurta I.
Kashtiliash IV was captured by the Assyrian king Tukulti-Ninurta I after the Battle of the Tigris. The defeat led to the sack of Babylon and the temporary end of Kassite rule, with Assyria controlling Babylonia for several years.
Following Kashtiliash IV's capture, Tukulti-Ninurta I sacked Babylon, looting temples and deporting the statue of Marduk. This event humiliated the Kassite dynasty and marked a low point in Babylonian history under Assyrian domination.
