The Fire of Asshurbanipal

Publication date

December 1936

𝓦𝐓"The Fire of Asshurbanipal"is a short story by Robert E. Howardthat first appeared in the December 1936 issue of Weird Tales. Although connected to the Cthulhu Mythos, the story ends with a suggestion that the events in the story have a rational explanation.

The Fire of Asshurbanipal is a gem rumored to be in the clutches of a skeleton on a throne in a lost city in the Arabian desert--"the ancient City of Evil spoken of in the Necronomicon of the mad Alhazred." Although the jewel is supposed to be cursed, it's sought by Steve Clarney, "a lean and wiry American," and Yar Ali, his Afghan companion. When they find the city and its treasure, they are ambushed and held captive by an old enemy of Clarney's, Nuredin el Mekru. Seizing the gem and smashing the skull of its skeletal guardian, Nuredin is struck dead, an apparent victim of the curse--but after Nuredin's minions flee in terror, Clarney points out that Nuredin was bitten by an adder that had been sleeping in the skull.

King of Kings^{[n 1]} was a ruling title employed primarily by monarchs based in the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent. Commonly associated with Iran (historically known as Persia in the West), especially the Achaemenid and Sasanian Empires, the title was originally introduced during the Middle Assyrian Empire by King Tukulti-Ninurta I (reigned 1233–1197 BC) and was subsequently used in a number of different kingdoms and empires, including the aforementioned Persia, various Hellenic kingdoms, India, Armenia, Georgia, and Ethiopia.
