Shimashki dynasty

The Shimashki dynasty was an early dynasty of the ancient region of Elam, to the southeast of Babylonia, ( 2100 – c. 1900 BC). A list of twelve kings of Shimashki is found in the , which also contains a list of kings of Awan dynasty. It is uncertain how historically accurate the list is (and whether it reflects a chronological order), although some of its kings can be corroborated by their appearance in the records of neighboring peoples. The dynasty corresponds to the second Paleo-Elamite period (dated to c. 2015 – c. 1880 BC). It was followed by the Sukkalmah dynasty. Shimashki was likely near today's Masjed Soleyman.
