## Image Caption

This rock-relief depicts a triumphant warrior. Before him, two captives (probably [Hurrians](https://www.worldhistory.org/Hurrians/)) can be seen. The [Akkadian](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/akkadian/) [cuneiform](https://www.worldhistory.org/cuneiform/) inscription on the right side mentions the name of the warrior as "Tar...dunni", son of Ikki. The names of the gods, [Shamash](https://www.worldhistory.org/Utu-Shamash/) and Adad, were mentioned also. "Tar...dunni" might have been a local king, prince, ruler, or a high-ranking official, probably Lullubian. The exact dates of these individuals and their lives are unknown. Darband-i Belula (Belula Pass), Sulaymaniyah Governorate, Iraqi Kurdistan. Akkadian period, 2350-2006 BCE.
