Person
Kindattu
Kindattu was a king of the Shimashki dynasty of Elam. Around 2004 BCE he sacked Ur and captured the last ruler of the Third Dynasty of Ur, ending Mesopotamian hegemony over Elam. Accounts of the Elamite Confederation treat this as the first major offensive achievement of Elamite military power.
