Carl Niebuhr

Born in 1861 and active as a scholar in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Carl Niebuhr wrote historical works on the ancient Near East. Catalog and library records for his books connect him with studies of Egypt, Israel, Babylonia, and Assyria, including Die Chronologie der Geschichte Israels, Aegyptens, Babyloniens und Assyriens and Geschichte des hebräischen Zeitalters.

His most widely circulated book in English is The Tell El Amarna Period, published in the "Ancient East" series and translated by J. Hutchison. In that short study, he examines the Amarna tablets to sketch the political relationships between Egypt and western Asia in the fifteenth century B.C., aiming to make specialist research readable for a broader audience.

Some records also list him under the name "Carl Krug," suggesting a pseudonym or alternate name used in publication history. I couldn't confirm a reliable portrait from the sources I found, so no author image is included here.
