Summary/Abstract: In 2001, Dahn’lel Kahn suggested a new chronology for the history of the 25th (kushite) dynasty which he based on new data of the inscription of Sargon II at Tang-i Var published in 1999. Although his new chronology reinterpreted the events of the contemporary Egyptian and Kushite history at many points, it is not free from misinterpretations and shortcomings. Th e author of the present essay tries to prove why he thinks that Dahn’el Kahn’s theory can not be accepted without any doubts by interpreting the known sources more precisely and joint studying such biblical and Assyrian sources which haven’t been study in the context of the problem yet.
