Removed from the article:
I've checked the Oxford History of Ancient Egypt & Georges Roux, Ancient Iraq (3rd ed.): neither mention Tiglath-Pileser receiving a gift of a crocodile from an Egyptian king, nor do the primary sources translated in my copy of ANET. If this happened, then it would be an important synchronism between Egyptian & Mesopotamian chronologies. I suspect this is, at best, a mistake in the original 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica. -- llywrch 04:37, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
