Ubara-tutu
(or Ubartutu) of Shuruppak was the last antediluvian king of Sumer,
according to some versions of the Sumerian King List. He was said
to have reigned for 18,600 years (5 sars and 1 ner). He was the
son of En-men-dur-ana, a Sumerian mythological figure often compared
to Enoch, as he entered heaven without dying. Ubara-Tutu was the
king of Sumer until a flood swept over his land.
Ubara-tutu
is briefly mentioned in tablet XI of the Epic of Gilgamesh. He is
identified as the father of Utnapishtim, a character who is instructed
by the god Ea to build a boat in order to survive the coming flood.
