Akurduana
Akurduana was the tenth king (around 1456–1431 BC) of the Meerland Dynasty , which ruled for around 350 years from around 1783 to 1415 BC. Ruled the south of Mesopotamia . Akurduana is known from later king lists and chronicles. Accordingly, he ruled for 26 years. Outside of the later king lists, it is only attested by a cylinder seal that shows the king next to the deities Sin , Enlil and Ea .
The name Akurduana is problematic as the later sources write it differently. The translation and interpretation are also uncertain.
