Ubar-Tutu

Ubar-Tutu is the last king before the flood in the Sumerian King List, said to have ruled at Shuruppak for thousands of years. Some versions of the flood tradition make him the father of the flood hero Ziusudra, called Utnapishtim in the Epic of Gilgamesh. He is a figure of legend, not a historically attested ruler.
