===================================

The Dynasty of Gutium

The "second" Hittite period

About 2234 - 2139 BCE.

With the fall of Agade, a period of anarchy ensued. Barbarians took over whole parts of the realm and the city-states exerted their independence. The period between the collapse of the Akkadian Empire and the rise of the Ur III Dynasty was one of anarchy, economic disruption and decline. The period also saw continual incursions by the Amorites, a Semitic people. Their incursions into Mesopotamia were largely peaceful at this time. During the Gutian’s rule, they appointed and removed Ensis almost at will. They seemed to favor Lagash, probably because they were compliant. As a result, Lagash became the dominant city, controlling at times Ur, Umma, and perhaps even Uruk.

In the army of Gutium, at first no king was famous; they were their own kings and ruled thus for 3 years.

Imta ruled 3 years.

Inkicuc Inkishush ruled for 6 years.

Zarlagab ruled for 6 years.

Culme Shulme ruled for 6 years.

Silulumec Elulumesh ruled for 6 years.

Inimabakec ruled for 5 years.

Igecauc Igeshaush ruled for 6 years.

Yarlagab ruled for 15 years.

Ibranum ruled for 1 year.

Hablum ruled for 2 years.

Puzur-Suen, the son of Hablum, ruled for 7 years.

Yarlaganda ruled for 7 years.

The text on the Tablet is here partly unreadable.

...... ruled for 7 years. Tiriga (?) ruled for 40 days. 21 kings; they ruled for 124 years and 40 days. *

Then the army of Gutium was defeated and the kingship was taken to Unug.

All told, twenty-one kings ruled 91 years and 40 days before the Gutium Hordes were defeated and kingship carried back to Uruk.
