Dur-Athara or Dur-Atkhara, more properly known as Dur-abi-hara, was an ancient city in Southern Babylonia. Babylonian king Marduk-apla-iddina II fortified the city as part of his war against Sargon II (722-705), moving "the entire Gambulu tribe" into it. He dug a canal from the nearby Surappu river, causing the entire area to flood, leaving the city in the position of an "artificial island". Sargon's attack of Dur-Athara came in 710, and according to Assyrian annals was completed in a single day
