Ancient Sumerian king · Historical Figures · Died 2425 BC

Eannatum was a Sumerian Ensi of Lagash. He established one of the first verifiable empires in history, subduing Elam and destroying the city of Susa, and extending his domain over the rest of Sumer and Akkad.

Eannatum is read about 66 times a day, in 31 languages.

A typical day, 30 days to 6 November 2026

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 104 days, one point a day.
