Humban-Numena
King of Elam / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Humban-Numena (or Kumban-Numena) was a king of Elam from the Igihalkid dynasty (Middle Elamite Period, mid-14th century BCE). He was a son and successor of King Attar-kittah.[lower-alpha 1] He married a daughter of the Kassite king Kurigalzu,[2][4] who bore him Untash-Napirisha,[lower-alpha 2] who was thus a grandson of Kurigalzu.[7][6] According to another interpretation of the primary source, he married the daughter of his uncle Pahir-ishshan, himself the son of a Kassite princess, and was thus a great-grandson of Kurigalzu.[1][8]
