Mitanni king From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kirta was a legendary Hurrian king in Mesopotamia. He lived in approximately 1500 BC and is traditionally thought to have founded the dynasty of Mitanni,[1] though epigraphic support for that is thin. A seal was found reading "Šuttarna, son of Kirta, king of Maitani."[2] He may have reigned around 1540 BC as per middle chronology.
His offsprings included Shuttarna I and Barattarna.[citation needed] Mitanni's rise under Kirta might have been facilitated by the disappearance of the Babylonian kingdom.[3]
