Enmebaragesi
Enmebaragesi (Sumerian: ๐๐จ๐๐๐Enmebรกrgisi [EN-ME-BARA2-GI4-SE]; fl.c. 2750 BC) originally Mebarasi (๐จ๐๐) was the penultimate king of the first dynasty of Kish and is recorded as having reigned 900 years in the Sumerian King List. Like his son and successor Aga, he reigned during a period when Kish had hegemony over Sumer. Enmebaragesi signals a momentous documentary leap from mytho-history to history, since he is the earliest ruler on the king list whose name is attested directly from archaeology.
