About Rim-Sin I
Lived 1850 BC – 1763 BC (aged 86–87). Rim-Sin I was a sovereign.
Rim-Sîn I (, Dri-im-Dsuen; died 1763 BC) ruled the ancient Near East city-state of Larsa from 1823 BC to 1763 BC (MC). His sister En-ane-du was high priestess of the moon god in Ur. Rim-Sin I was a contemporary of Hammurabi of Babylon and Irdanene of Uruk. His father, Kudur-Mabuk, grandfather Šimti-šilhak and his daughter Manzi-wartaš had Elamite names.
Around 1787 BC, Hammurabi, the king of Babylon, attacked Isin and reports to have conquered it, but this is more likely an exaggeration of a successful raid.
