In 2355 BC, Ru Ishshan's son, Hishep Latab II, succeeded to the throne of Awan.
In 2312 BC, when the eastern Elamite city-states posed a great threat to Akkad, Remush led an army into Elamite under Hishep Rateb II, destroying several cities and fighting a fierce battle with the king of the powerful state of Barachsi, capturing 4,000 men, including his vice-king. Hishep Rat II was forced to swallow his anger. The frequent conquests of the Remush reflect the fact that the overlords of the nations could only rely on force to maintain their hegemony and defend themselves against foreign enemies.
Helu, reigned: 2310-2265 BC, a contemporary of King Manishtushu of Akkad.
In 2310 BC, Heru succeeded to the throne of Awan of Hishep Latab II.
Because of the political instability caused by the rebellion of Lemush's elder brother Manishtushu and the seizure of the throne of Akkadian, not only did domestic unrest break out, but Heru also took the opportunity to declare independence with the support of the emerging Anshan and Ensi of Shiritan.
After quelling the rebellion in the country, Manishtushu turned his main warfare to the emerging Anshan and Shirihan on the Elamaic side. He crossed the Tigris River east and conquered 32 cities on the side of Elam, led by Susa, and Heru had to be a vassal and pay a large tribute of gold and bronze for his sins. The statue of Manishtushu was also dedicated by King Awan Heru to the Elamite god Narut as a sign of submission to Akkadian.
Hitahita, reigned 2265-2208 BC, a contemporary of Akkadian kings Naram Sin and Shar Kali Sharui.
In 2265 BC, Hita succeeded to the throne of Awan of Helu.
During the reign of Sita, the kingdom flourished. After several undefeated battles with Guti, King Naram Sin, King of Akkadian Naram Sin, signed a treaty of equality in Susa with Elam, who was ruled by King Hita of the Second Dynasty of Akkad, to form an alliance between the Semitic and Aryan Caucasian races to defend against the threat of the Indo-European Yellow Guti. This is the second earliest known international treaty (the first between Ebla and Ashur) and is written in Akkadian cuneiform script for Old Elamite. This illustrates the growth of the influence of Akkadian culture on Elam. Of course, Naram Sim also maintained control over some of Elam's cities: the satrap from Akkad ruled Susa.
From the date of the treaty, Elamite became officially independent and intersected with the Akkadian Empire on an equal footing.
Later, when Naram Sin was killed in the war with the Guti and Shahr Kali al-Shari came to power, the treaty entered into force.
Akkadian and Elamite joined forces under the treaty to attack the Guti. The Akkadians captured the chieftain of the Guti people, Sarrag.
Simpi Shish Hak-huk, reigned 2208-2149 BC.
In 2208 BC, Simpi Shish Haq succeeded to the throne of Awan of Hita.
In 2150 BC, the western part of Elamite was attacked by the Fifth Kish Dynasty, which suffered heavy losses and suffered great losses in national strength.
Kutik Inshushnak, reigned 2149-2115 BC, a contemporary of yournamu.
In 2149 BC, Simpi Shish Haq's son, Kutik Inshushnak, succeeded to the throne of Awan.
The early stage of rule was mainly to accumulate strength and encroach on nearby small countries.
And the main forces of the Kuti were in the Sumerian region, and there was little threat to Elam.
In 2138 BC, King Goudia of Kish died, the Fifth Dynasty of Kish declined rapidly, and all western cities such as Anshan were recovered.
Seeing that the time had come, Kutik Inshushnak launched a massive campaign of conquest in and around the Elam region, proclaiming himself "King of the Four Corners of the World". After taking full control of the Elamite region, he actively sought to attack Mesopotamia.
Kutik Inshushnak wants to attack Akshak in the Akkadian region. At this time, the reigning king of the Third Dynasty of your, your Namu, opposed the Elamite offensive in order to prevent the Elamite infiltration into Sumer. The Elamites feared your strength and withdrew from the Akkadian region.
Shortly after quitting, he died. The Second Elamaic Dynasty rapidly declined.
The inscriptions he left behind were written in two scripts, Elamite pictorial script and Akkadian cuneiform. This is the last known instance of the use of Elland pictorial text. Subsequently, the Elamites wrote in Akkadian cuneiform, but maintained their language, culture, and religious beliefs.
From these cuneiform texts, it is known that Kutik-Inshushnak occupied about 60 districts and cities, including the lands of the Kuknuri and Kuti, and that the Shimash king "embraced his feet" as a sign of submission.
--------, reign: 2115-2078 BC.
During his reign, the country's situation took a sharp turn for the worse.
In 2078 BC, Susa was captured by your, and the Awan dynasty fell. Since then, the Elam region has been largely under the control of your. The governor of Susa de facto carried out the duties of the Elamite king.
The Awan dynasty had a total of 16 kings, reigning in 708 years.
