Stela of king Iddi Sin, King of Simurrum

The stela of Iddi-Sin, King of Simurrum celebrates and commemorates the victories of this King against his enemies, mostly tribes of modern western Iran. The stela is carved with 108 lines of cuneiform inscriptions and was found at the modern village of Qarachatan, Pira Magroon mountain, Sulaimaniya, Iraq. Note that the stela’s margins are broken, mostly likely during excavation and/or transportation. Old Babylonian period, 2003-1595 BCE. The Sulaimaniya (Slemani) Museum, Iraq. My Nikon D90 camera,
