Urtaku

Background

Urtaku was an Elamite king who reigned from 676–664 BC. Under his reign, relations between Elam and Babylonia became weaker, and after his death during an attack on Mesopotamia, the Assyrian king Assurbanipal launched a counter-attack, leading to the occupation of Elam by the Assyrians.External links[edit]Johns, Claude Hermann Walter (1904).
