SUSHEN / SHU-SIN

Important Note :

 

Wikipedia mentions Shulgi as father of Sushen / Shu-Sin which is not true as his father is Jamadagni / Shamsu / Duk-gin / Dungi / Ur-Ninurta.

 

Wikipedia also mentions Ibbi-Sin as son of Sushen / Shu-Sin and Amar-Sin as brother of Sushen / Shu-Sin.

 

There is a huge contradiction in this because Sushen / Shu-Sin is son of Jamadagni / Shamsu / Duk-gin / Dungi / Ur-Ninurta.

 

The genealogy given in Wikipedia does not match with research of Lieutenant Colonel Laurence Austine Waddell.

 

Here, I am cancelling genealogy given by Wikipedia and I am giving priority to research of Lieutenant Colonel Laurence Austine Waddell because of the level of his exprience and research.
