Ishtup-Ilum

Ishtup-Ilum, also Ishtup-El (𒅖𒁾𒀭, Ish-dub-ilum; died c. 2136 BC) was a ruler of the city of Mari, one of the military governors known as Shakkanakku in northern Mesopotamia, after the fall of Akkad. He was probably a contemporary with the Second Dynasty of Lagash, around the time of Gudea. He was the son of Ishma-Dagan and brother of Nûr-Mêr, both Shakkanakkus of Mari before him, and, according to the dynastic lists, he ruled after them for a period of 11 years.
