Gutian dynasty
The Gutian dynasty was a line of kings from the Gutian people who came to power in Mesopotamia after the fall of the Akkadian Empire. They occupied the Sumerian city of Adab and made it their capital. How long they ruled is uncertain; the end of their rule is marked by the accession of Utu-hengal of Uruk.
