Humban-haltash III

Humban-haltash III or Umanaldash was the last major ruler of Elam. He was defeated and captured by the Assyrian king Ashurbanipal.

Reign

He belonged to the Humban-Tahrid, "Neo-Elamite", dynasty. He became king 650 BC. During his kingdom, the Assyrian people attacked Elam and occupied Madektu. This facilitated their way to the Karkheh river. In 647 BC, Susa fell in the Battle of Susa and Ashurbanipal captured Humban Haltash. Ashurbanipal wrote:
Ashurbanipal's inscriptions and carvings at his palace in Nineveh show a humiliated Humban-haltash being forced to serve food at an Assyrian banquet. It is unclear what happened to Humban-haltash after this.
