Location of Mari, where Ikun-Shamash ruled.

Iku-Shamagan (𒄿𒆪𒀭𒊭𒈠𒃶, i-ku-Dsha-ma-gan)[3][4] was a King of the second Mariote kingdom who reigned c. 2500 BCE. He is one of three Mari kings known from archaeology, Ikun-Shamash probably being the oldest one.[5] Another king was Ishqi-Mari, also known from an inscribed statue.[6][7][8]

In their inscriptions, these Mari kings used the Akkadian language, whereas their contemporaries to the south used the Sumerian language.[5]

Vase[edit]

A vase mentioning Iku-Shamagan "in an early semitic dialect" is also known:[9][10]

"For Iku-Shamagan, king of Mari, Shuweda the cup-bearer, son of ... the merchant, dedicated this vessel to the river god and Ishtarat"

— Vessel inscription.[10][11]

Statue[edit]

Iku-Shamagan is known from a statue with inscription, discovered by André Parrot in 1952.[5][12][13] The statue, in the National Museum of Damascus, was restored by the Louvre Museum in 2011.[14]

Iku-Shamagan's votive statue was dedicated through an inscription on the back of the statue:[14]


𒄿𒆪𒀭𒊭𒈠𒃶 / 𒈗𒈠𒌷𒆠 / 𒀋 / 𒊕𒂅 / 𒊨𒋤 / 𒀭𒈹𒍝𒍝 / 𒊕𒄸𒁺

i-ku-Dsha-ma-gan / lugal ma-ri2ki / abba2 / sa12du5 / dul3su3 / DMUSZ3xZA.ZA / sa12rig9

"Of Iku-Shamagan, king of Mari, his surveyor has dedicated the statue to Ninni-zaza"

— Inscription on the statue of Iku-Shamagan[4][15]

The statue was discovered in Mari, in the Temple Ninni-zaza.[14]

The statue was heavily damaged during the conquest by the armies of the Empire of Akkad circa 2300 BCE.[14][16]
