Igi-ḫalki
Igi-ḫalki is an Elamite king who appears in various inscriptions as the founder of a new dynasty. He ruled around 1400 BC. BC, but these dates are far from certain. The king himself is only known from an inscription, which is available in several copies and which was found in Deh-e Now (approx. 20 km east of Haft Tepe ) and in which he reports that he was kingship from the goddess Manzat-Ištar after renovating a shrine to her. No royal parents of the ruler are mentioned in the inscription, so it can be assumed that he came to power through a coup d'état.
