Eannatum (Sumerian: πππΎπΊ Γ.AN.NA-tum2) was a Sumerian Ensi (ruler or king) of Lagash circa 2500β2400 BCE. He established one of the first verifiable empires in history, subduing Elam and destroying the city of Susa, and extending his domain over the rest of Sumer and Akkad.[1] One inscription found on a boulder states that Eannatum was his Sumerian name, while his "Tidnu" (Amorite) name was Lumma.
