Who is Shutruk-Nahhunte? An evergreen, sourced profile: biography, key facts and career.
Shutruk-Nakhunte (sometimes Nahhunte) was king of Elam from about 1184 to 1155 BC (middle chronology), and the first king of the Shutrukid Dynasty. He names his father in many of his inscriptions, Hallutush-Inshushinak, but there is no evidence for a king of Elam with that name. Elam amassed an empire that included most of Mesopotamia and western Iran. Under his command, Elam defeated the Kassites and established the short-lived Elamite Empire, conquered within about 40 years by Nebuchadnezzar I of Babylon, in 1120 BC. Šutruk-Nakhunte was supposedly married to the daughter of a Kassite king named Meli-Šipak.
