>Annus notes first the existence of an ancient, and by the time of the judges in Israel, almost mythical Amorite tribe called the “Tidanu” or “Ditanu.”

>They had a bad reputation in Mesopotamia. There were considered uncivilized, warlike, and dangerous. In fact, they were so threatening to the last Sumerian kings of Mesopotamia, the Third Dynasty of Ur, that around 2037 BC they began building a wall 175 miles long north of modern Baghdad specifically to keep the Tidanu away. We know this because the Sumerians named it bàd martu muriq tidnim, which literally means “Amorite Wall Which Keeps the Tidnum [Tidanu] at a Distance.”

>Annus notes that the name “Ti/Di-ta/da-nu(m)—most possibly ‘large animal; aurochs; strong, wild bovide’—is the name of the eponymic tribe.” Now, if you were going to pick a totem animal to represent your tribe back in the day, the aurochs was a great choice. It’s an extinct form of cattle from which modern domesticated breeds descend, and they were huge. Bulls stood about six feet at the shoulder, weighed about a ton, and had nasty horns that put a chill in a hunter’s spine. Based on medieval art, a recommended tactic for hunting aurochs involved keeping a stout tree between the hunter and the animal. Aurochs were the largest land mammals in Europe until the last one died in 1627

>The point is that the Ditanu/Tidanu, which apparently took the tribal name from didānu or ditānu, the Akkadian word for “aurochs,” were linked to the Rephaim in ritual texts at Ugarit:

>"Greatly exalted be Keret"
>"In the midst of the rpum [Rephaim] of the earth"
>"In the gathering of the assembly of the Ditanu."

>So, the Ditanu/Tidanu were connected to the Rephaim in mind and ritual among the ancient Amorites, who believed the Rephaim were the divinized ancestors of their kings
