Kur-Ishshak[a] was the third king of the Awan dynasty and is said on the Sumerian King List (SKL) to have been the third Elamite king to exercise the kingship of Awan over all of Sumer.[2] He probably reigned sometime in the first Paleo-Elamite period (c. 2400 – c. 2015 BC).[3][4][2][2][5][failed verification] Additionally; he could have possibly been the same third king (Ukku-Tanhish) from Awan said on the Susanian Dynastic List to exercise the kingship over all of Elam.[6][4] According to the SKL: he was preceded by ...Lu (possibly Tata named only on the Susanian Dynastic List) and succeeded by Susuda of Kish (named only on the SKL). However, the Susanian Dynastic List states that the third king was succeeded by Hishutash.
