In a similar situation, such as the Huaxia people in the Yellow River Valley, because there are not so many gods, they only take the surname of the place, such as the surname Ji (Ju Jishui) and the surname Jiang (Ju Jiang Shui), but although the later people no longer live there, they still take the surname of their ancestors as their surname.

Through the study of the names of the five kings of the Shamash dynasty recorded in history, the author found that two of them have the names of the gods mentioned earlier, namely Atad and Ishkul, so it can be determined that these two kings were Semites, so two of the five kings were definite Semites, so there is no doubt that the Shamash dynasty was a regime established by the Eastern Semites.

Your Attad your-adad, reigned 2565-2530 BC. Suffix: God Attad.

In 2565 BC, your Attad succeeded to the throne of Shamash of Zis.

Your Ishkul ur-, reigned 2530-2526 BC. Suffix: Ishkul, the main god of Akshak.

In 2537 BC, the Eastern Semites of the city of Mari became independent and established the Marai dynasty.

In 2530 BC, your Ishkul succeeded to the throne of Shamash of your Atad.

Wallad Nannarr, reigned 2526-2490 BC. Suffix: Nanna, the god of the moon.

In 2526 BC, Wallad Nanna succeeded to the throne of Shamash of your Ishkul.

During his reign, national contradictions were very acute, and the Sumerian city-states declared independence from the Shamash dynasty.

In 2519 BC, the Eastern Semites of the city of Akshak became independent and established the Akshak dynasty.

In 2490 BC, the city of Shamash was captured by the Second Uruk Dynasty. The Shamash dynasty perished.

Although the Shamash dynasty fell, the Eastern Semites had mastered all the Sumerian civilization after centuries of tempering and were fully integrated into local life.

The Shamash dynasty experienced a total of 5 kings and 125 years.

"Shamash was defeated, and royal power was transferred to Uruk. ”

In 2504 BC, En-Shakush Anna founded the Second Uruk Dynasty. Prefix: En, for Enki, or King, and Suffix: Eanna.

En Shakush Anna en-, reigned 60 BC, 2504-2444 BC. He was a contemporary of King Lugar Ann Montu of the Atab Dynasty, King Kiku Sivi Temti of the Elaman Awan Dynasty, and King Ku Papa (Urnansh) of the Third Dynasty of Kish.

At the same time as the second Uruk dynasty, the third Kish dynasty and the Atab dynasty were established.

N. Shakush Anna was shrewd and capable, and during her reign the dynasty grew rapidly in power and began to grow stronger, challenging the regional overlord Shamash of the Eastern Semites.

In 2490 BC, En Shakush Anna captured Shamash, and Uruk became the new political center of the two river valleys. En-Shakush Anna became the hero and regional overlord of the defeated aliens. Ku Papa, who founded the Third Dynasty of Kish, submitted to him.

At this time, the Atab dynasty, which was established at about the same time, began to grow stronger, and the king of the Adab dynasty, Lugar Ann Montu, was ambitious and intended to become the Sumerian overlord, so Uruk, who stood in his way, had to be weakened.

Lugar Ann Montu chose to ally himself with Kish Queen Ku Papa against En-Shakush Anna, and the queen was naturally happy to join in the fight against Uruk.

In 2485 BC, when the combined forces of Atab and Kish attacked Uruk, N. Shakush Anna was unable to resist and had no choice but to submit to the stronger Attab, and Queen Kish was happy to gain independence as an ally of Atab in the alliance. Uruk then lost its supremacy.

In 2470 BC, Atab and Kish turned against each other, and Lugar Ann Montu led an army to defeat the queen's son, the new king Psul Sin, and Kish submitted to him, but the strength of the Kish Third Dynasty was greatly weakened, and he temporarily fell behind in the long competition with Uruk.

Later in the reign of N. Shakush Anna, while both were subject to Atab's hegemony, Uruk and Kish were in constant conflict, and Atab acted as a mediator as the leader of the alliance. During these conflicts, Uruk maintained military superiority over King Kish, Psul Sin, due to the loss of Kish's strength.

Lugar Uri, reigned 20 years, 2444-2424 BC. Prefix: Great King.

In 2444 BC, Lugar Uri succeeded to the throne of Uruk of En Shakush Anna.

Lugar Uri reigned during the reign of your Zappapa, the most powerful of the Kish Third Dynasty.

In 2439 BC, King Ur Zappa, King of Kish, defeated Uruk in one fell swoop, forcing King Lugar Uri of the Second Dynasty of Uruk to sign an alliance under the city, ceding land, demarcating the border between the two countries, and erecting the boundary monument and altar of Messirim. However, since then, the two countries have continued to fight each other, and the boundary pillars have been destroyed repeatedly.

Your Zappa's defeat of Uruk led the city-states to submit to him. And Uruk had to endure your Zappa's finger-pointing in a nutshell.

Arcandia, reigned 7 years, 2424-2417 BC.

Argandia is recorded as Ullunma in some sources.

In 2424 BC, Argondia succeeded to the throne of Uruk of Lugar Uri.

In 2420 BC, King Kish your Zhapapa, King of Kish, sent an expedition to the city of Mar because the Eastern Semites of the city refused to submit to his rule.

Eventually, when your Zappapa conquered the city of Marre, Kish reached his peak and his influence reached as far as Silesia in northern Mesopotamia, and you Zappapa effectively controlled all of Mesopotamia (the area between the two rivers of Iraq).

Originally, it was expected to dominate Sumer, but as the saying goes: prosperity and decline.

Your Zhapapa's expedition to Mari has caused concern among many of the Semitic regimes in the Akkadian region.
