Jushur


Jushur was the first king of the first dynasty of Kish according to the Sumerian king list. It claims he reigned in Sumer for 1,200 years as the first post-diluvian king.
No archaeological evidence corroborating his existence or identity has been found. If a historical figure, he may thus mark the beginning of the Early Dynastic Period of Sumer, corresponding very roughly to the Early Bronze Age II.
