Attar-kittaḫ

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Attar-kittaḫ is an Elamite king of the so-called Igiḫalkid dynasty (approx. 1400 to 1210 BC) with the title 'King of Susa and Anshan'. He was a son of Igi-ḫalki , who is considered the founder of the dynasty.

It is mainly known from a building inscription by Šilhak-Inšušinak I , which names those rulers who built the Inšušinak temple in Susa . Few other monuments with his name have survived, including two club heads with his name that were found in Choga Zanbil .
