About Kirta

Born 1550 BC.

Kirta was a legendary Hurrian king in Mesopotamia. He lived and is traditionally thought to have founded the dynasty of Mitanni, though epigraphic support for that is thin. A seal was found reading "Å uttarna, son of Kirta, king of Maitani." He may have reigned around 1540 BC as per middle chronology.
