Inscription
Naram-Sin (2254–2218 BC) was the third successor and grandson of Sargon of Akkad (2334–2279 BC).
He listed the various rebel kings to his rule, and mentioned "(..)ibra, man of Meluhha".
Significance
(..)ibra is the only attested ruler of Meluhha. His kingdom has been identified with the Indus Valley Civilisation and so, the inscription might provide some insights into the relationship between the Harappans and the Mesopotamians.October 2025
