Guti/Post Akkadian

Description:

The Post-Akkadian Period, or Gutian dynasty, came to power by destabilizing Akkad at the end of the reign of Ur-Utu of Uruk. It lasted for around one century and was succeeded by the third dynasty of Ur. The Gutians were native to Gutium presumably in the central Zagros Mountains, and launched raids on Sumer. They destroyed Akkad and took control of the empire, but were not able to control it for long. The best known ruler of the Gutian period was Gudea, ruling from Lagash. They were overtaken by Utu-Hengal of Uruk who revived the political and economic life of southern Sumer.
