Tudiya

Tudiya or Tudia (Akkadian: 𒂅𒁲𒅀, romanized: Ṭu-di-ia) was, according to the Assyrian King List (AKL), the first king of Assyria, starting from the city of Assur. He ruled during Assyria's early period, though he is not attested in any known contemporary artefacts. He is listed among the "seventeen kings who lived in tents." His existence is unconfirmed archaeologically and uncorroborated by any other source. According to the list, Tudiya was succeeded by Adamu, the earliest attestation of the name "Adam".
