Luh-ishan, also Luhhiššan, Luh-ishshan, Lu-ishan (𒇻𒄴𒅖𒀭 lu-uh-ish-an,[1] also 𒇻𒄴𒄭 𒅖𒊮𒀭 lu-uh-hi ish-sha-an)[2] was a king of Elam and the 8th king of the Awan Dynasty, around 2300 BCE.[3] He was the son of Hiship-rashini.[3][4]

Lu-ishan is known from Elamite sources, such as the Awan Dynasty king list, where he is listed as the 8th king of the Awan Dynasty.[3][5]

Lu-ishan also appears in the inscriptions of Sargon of Akkad, who vanquished him when he conquered Elam and Marhasi.[3] Sargon claims in his inscriptions that he is "Sargon, king of the world, conqueror of Elam and Parahshum", the two major polities to the east of Sumer.[6] He also names various rulers of the east whom he vanquished, such as "Luh-uh-ish-an, son of Hishibrasini, king of Elam", thought to be Lu-sihan, or " Sidga'u, general of Parahshum"(during the reign of Abalgamash), who later also appears in an inscription by Rimush.[6][4]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
