Shilhaha
Shilhaha (Elamite si-il-ha-ha, or shi-il-ha-ha, mshi-il-ha-ha, cf. middle-Elamite shilha ‘strong’ [1]) was an Elamite ruler of the 20th century BC (Middle Chronology). He was first to be attested as sukkalmah in Elam,[2] effectively founding the Sukkalmah Dynasty. At least 11 rulers of this dynasty used the phrase “descendant of Šilhaha” (ruhušak) in their titles as evidence of their legitimacy. [2] Inscriptions on a bronze “gunagi” vessel [3] and on Atta-Hušu cylindroid [4] show that he was contemporary of Ebarat II, one of the last kings of Shimashki.
