Rivkah Harris argued that this man ushered in a period of "secularization", and Breckwoldt studied falling grain prices which earned him the nickname “bani matim,” or builder of the land. This man subjugated the Assyrian ruler Ishme-Dagan I and conquered the rival states of Larsa, Eshnunna, and Elam.
