Humban-Numena

Humban-Numena (or Kumban-Numena) was a king of Elam from the Igihalkid dynasty (Middle Elamite Period, mid-14th century BCE). He was a son and successor of King Attar-kittah.^[a] He married a daughter of the Kassite king Kurigalzu,^[2][4] who bore him Untash-Napirisha,^[b] who was thus a grandson of Kurigalzu.^[7][6] According to another interpretation of the primary source, he married the daughter of his uncle Pahir-ishshan, himself the son of a Kassite princess, and was thus a great-grandson of Kurigalzu.^[1][8]
