Indattu-Inshushinak II, often referred to by the shortened name Indattu or Idaddu II, was the tenth king of Elam who came from the dynasty of Shimashki, a city of unknown location.[1][2]
Early life
[edit]Son of a previous king, named Tan-Ruhurater I[3], Indattu was first the ishakku (governor), of the city of Susa. He refurbished a wall at the Uruanna temple in Susa, and made inscriptions detailing his restoration of the wall[4], claiming to have gained the favor of Inshushinak, the city's patron god.
Indattu appears to have had a vigorous administration, as seals dedicated to him belong to such officials as judge Kuk-Shimut[5] and scribe Ishmenni.[1]
As king of Elam
[edit]After the rule of Eparti II, Indattu was acclaimed to the kingship of Shimashki, a city which held hegemony over Susa, the capital of Elam. As king, he attacked Zidanu and Shindi-libbu, according to year-names, as well as built a temple to Ishtar.
War with Larsa
[edit]For reasons unknown, Gungunum, the king of Larsa, attacked Pashime, a city in Indattu's control, sparking chaos, and causing the beginning of the decline of Shimashki rule over Elam. After this point, Indattu disappears from history.[1] It is at about this time that the Shimashki dynasty begins to be gradually replaced by the Sukkalmah in Susa.[6]
