Erishum I

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Erishum I was the king of Assyria between 1906 BC to 1867 BC[1]. He was the son of the king before him, Ilushuma. [2] He is known for building a temple for the God Enlil. [3] The building was ruined a few times, but was restored by Shamshi-Adad I.

In addition he also undertook repairs to other gods in the capital of Assur and continued the trade policies of his Father[4].
