v t e

The Shimashki dynasty^[a] was an early dynasty of the ancient region of Elam, to the southeast of Babylonia, (c. 2100 – c. 1900 BC).^[1] A list of twelve kings of Shimashki is found in the Elamite king-list of Susa, which also contains a list of kings of Awan dynasty.^[2] It is uncertain how historically accurate the list is (and whether it reflects a chronological order^[3]), although some of its kings can be corroborated by their appearance in the records of neighboring peoples.^[2] The dynasty corresponds to the second Paleo-Elamite period (dated to c. 2015 – c. 1880 BC). It was followed by the Sukkalmah dynasty. Shimashki was likely near today's Masjed Soleyman.
