Musri
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Musri (Assyrian: Mu-us-ri), or Muzri, was a small ancient kingdom, in northern areas of Iraqi Kurdistan. The area is nowadays inhabited by Muzuri (Mussouri) Kurds.[1]
Musri is also a geographical name mentioned in several Neo-Assyrian inscriptions and referring to Egypt, and not to a country in northern Arabia as once believed.[2]
