The World in 1106 BC the map has looked like this since 1114 BC

Half a century of small kings ends in Assyria. Tiglath-Pileser I becomes king this year and at once marches north against the Mushki, twenty thousand of them by his count, and the map shows Assyria's red doubling as the hill country and the Habur come back under Assur. He will cross the Euphrates 28 times against the Aramaeans, reach the Mediterranean and hunt elephants in Syria. Babylon has recovered from the Elamite sack: Nebuchadnezzar I raided Susa a few years ago and brought the statue of Marduk home, the proudest deed of his dynasty. Egypt is drifting under the late Ramesside kings, its Nubian gold running out and tomb robbers at work in Thebes. The Phrygians hold Anatolia, the Philistines the coast, the Shang still rule at Anyang though the Zhou in the Wei valley are growing, and the Olmecs and Indo-Aryans keep their patches.

From 1164 BC to 1114 BC

On the map Assyria's red doubles this year, spreading north and west from the Tigris. Tiglath-Pileser I has started his reign with a campaign against the Mushki in the hills, and the towns Assyria lost after Tukulti-Ninurta come back.
