Attahamitti Inshushinak

Attahamitti-Inshushinak - king of Elam , ruled around 653 - 648 BC. e. The son of Hutran-tempti and, apparently, the cousin of Te-Umman . After the death of Te-Umman seized power in Susa . In his inscriptions he calls himself "the king of Anshan and Suz." Attahamiti-Inshushinak was the penultimate legitimate king of Elam and at the same time the last, about whom the Elamite proper information was preserved. The Assyrian documents do not say anything about him, however, they appear (and only once) a certain Attametu , the chief of the shooters, a famous and influential person at the court of Ummanigash .

From the time of his reign, several fragments of his inscriptions survived, and even his image on one of the stelae, though poorly preserved. On this stele, Attahamiti-Inshushinak claims that he loved Susa and its inhabitants and therefore built the mentioned stele. She depicts the head of the ruler in profile. Only individual fragments are preserved from the lengthy inscription, which do not allow reproducing a coherent whole. However, based on what we managed to read, we can still conclude that Attahamiti-Inshushinak primarily relied on the mountainous regions around Ayapir , for he calls the local god Ruhuratira his god. But the inscription also mentions Humpan and Inshushinak .

Attahamitti-Inshushinak died in 648 BC. e. in Susa.
