Ikun-Ishar
Ikun-Ishar was a king of Mari who probably lived in the 24th century BC. Ruled. The exact chronological classification is still controversial. So far he is only known from texts from Ebla . In 1974, in the Syrian city of Ebla, an archive containing several thousand texts was found, whose documents highlight the culture, society and history of that time. Before this find, almost no inscriptions from this era and from this region were known.
Ikun-Ishar was the successor of Enna-Dagan and contemporary of Isar-Damu , who was king in Ebla. Both rulers came to the throne at about the same time. Ikun-Ishar seems to have ruled only briefly and is only mentioned in two documents from Ebla, both of which date to the first years of Isar-damu's reign.
