Shu-turul
Shu-turul was the last king of Akkad, ruling for 15 years according to the Sumerian king list. It indicates that he succeeded his father Dudu. A few artifacts, seal impressions etc. attest that he held sway over a greatly reduced Akkadian territory that included Kish, Tutub, Nippur, and Eshnunna. The Diyala River also bore the name "Shu-durul" at the time.
Sumerian King List
The king list asserts that Akkad was then conquered, and the hegemony returned to Uruk following his reign. It further lists six names of an Uruk dynasty; however only two of these six rulers, Ur-nigin and Ur-gigir, have been confirmed through archaeology. With Akkad's collapse, the Gutians, who had established their capital at Adab, became the regional power, though several of the southern city-states such as Uruk, Ur, and Lagash also declared independence around this time.Inscriptions
A few inscriptions in his name are known. One, on an administrative clay sealing found at Kish reads:A clay sealing of Shu-turl was found at Nippur. Another reading "u-Turul, the ighty, ng of de:... ." was found at Tell Asmar.
A votive mace, made of dark green marble, is also known with an inscription mentioning Shu-turul and the dedication of a temple to Nergal:
A 17 centimeter long copper axe, acquired on the antiquities market, reads "Su-Turul, the mighty, king of Agade".
A tablet found at Adab contains the year name "year when Shu-Durul assumed the kingdom".
