The third dynasty of Ur reinstalled Sumerian rule after several centuries of Akkadian and Gutian kings (Sumerian Renaissance). It controlled the cities of Isin, Larsa and Eshnunna . The succession of kings is documented from Shulgi (2047 BC short chronology) down to Ibbi-Sin . Shulgi received the throne of Ur from Ur-Nammu who had surplanted the king of Uruk, Utu-khegal . Utu-khegal had unseated the Gutian king Tirigan .
