Adamu

Adamu was, according to the Assyrian King List (AKL), the second Assyrian monarch, who ruled during Assyria's early period. He is not attested in any known contemporary artefacts; he is listed among the "seventeen kings who lived in tents" within the Mesopotamian Chronicles. The Mesopotamian Chronicles state that Adamu succeeded Tudiya. The Assyriologist Georges Roux stated that Tudiya would have lived in the 25th century BC. The earliest known use of the name “Adam” as a genuine historical name is Adamu. As in his predecessor's case, Adamu's existence remains unconfirmed archaeologically and uncorroborated by any other source.
