Abstract

This research which entitled (The sequence of Gutian kings and their surname in the light of Cuneiform texts), deals with the history of the name and surname of Gutian kings from the beginning of their appearance in the area of Zagros that they ruled for a period in the north of Mesopotamia just like other old nation of Zagros. Later they were able to over throw the Akkadian Empire and rule for more than a century most areas of Mesopotamia (area of Akkad and Sumerian as well as Lagash). The research deals with the names of more than (25) Gutian kings with their surname if they were available because some of these kings were found without any surnames because we don’t know what surname have been used in the Gutian language for their kings and till now no list or record have been found for Gutian kings names and surnames that us by the gutis, what is available is a list of Sumerian kings names that contains the names of Gutian kings, according to Cuneiform sources Gutian kings had only the surname of king (LUGAL) or even they don’t have this surname, and this is really doubtful because Gutian kings were very different in their force, power and areas of their governance and the changes were obvious in the areas of their power according to the records of Cuneiform texts that found till now, in this research the researcher tries to shed light on all the thoughts and beliefs concerning the names, surnames and the period of power of Gutian kings especially in the period of their power in most areas of Mesopotamia, the research mainly depends on the list of Sumerian kings.
