Hatshepsut? Why?
What, exactly, is the relevance of hatshepsut? The fact that they are both women rulers from nearby places is not enough to include her here. By this logic, we must mention Rome in the introduction of the article in Paris, or apples in the introduction to the article about oranges.Jamshyd (talk) 12:36, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

Current version looks like a copy of http://www.hyperhistory.net/apwh/bios/b1sammuramat.htm...could someone check? raylu 00:25, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

It seems that this article treat stuff that is better treated in the article Semiramis. This article should be about the historical queen of Assyria, and the other about the legendaric Semiramis. Summer Song 12:20, 24 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I agree; the historical Samurramat should be kept separated from the mythical Semiramis, as it is very far from certain that their is any sort of connection among the two.--Aldux 17:41, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Ditto. I'm not persuaded that Semiramis is a legendary version of this particular Shammuramat. The name is cognate but I wonder if it could be that this woman was named after an earlier woman known to history as Semiramis. Sources I'm familiar with seem to place Semiramis way earlier than Shammuramat. AlphabeticThing9 (talk) 00:16, 26 November 2022 (UTC)


 * I agree that the two should be kept separate, and I am removing the merge suggestion. It was made when the two articles overlapped, which they no longer do. Bejnar 23:29, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Thing is do we even know anything about this queen other then what's already mentioned? If so I'd like to know, unfortunately I doubt we know much, her being placed in the Dark Ages of Mesopotamia, whether or not she did anything that might have helped inspired the Greek Legend we really don't know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.92.234.42 (talk) 18:01, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Shammuramat's background/heritage
I've just written Ivar Lissner's book about civilization. According to that book, Shammuramat was a Median princess who married to King of Babylon. Are there another sources to support it? Medea Mēdeia (talk) 21:10, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

Removed info from Jim Reilly
There was an alternate chronology for her reign given from 809-792. The source that it's derived from is a complete revision of Egyptian chronology that puts the New Kingdom in the Iron Age, with the Amarna period and Ankhenaten in the 900's B.C. It's too fringe. https://web.archive.org/web/20120311175148/http://www.kent.net/DisplacedDynasties/Contestants_for_Syrian_Domination.html 2602:306:3A6A:37B0:D8D9:DE02:209:BDCF (talk) 02:08, 16 January 2018 (UTC)John Dee

Spelling
This article is totally inconsistent on whether her name is spelt with an 'S' or an 'Sh' and the 'etymology' section does not explain. Furius (talk) 00:54, 20 November 2021 (UTC)
