Kun-Damu (also Qum-Damu) was a king (Malikum) of the first Eblaite kingdom ruling c. 2400 BC.[1] The king's name is translated as "Arise, O Damu".[note 1][3] Kun-Damu is attested in the archives of Ebla dated two generations after his reign.[4][5] According to Alfonso Archi, he was a contemporary of Saʿumu of Mari.[4] The archives of Ebla records the defeat of Mari in the 25th century BC, and based on the estimations for his reign, Kun-Damu might be the Eblaite king who inflicted this defeat upon Mari.[4] Aleppo might have came under the rule of Ebla during his reign.[6] Following his death, he was deified and his cult was attested in Ebla for at least 30 years after his reign.[7]
^Damu was probably an old Semitic deity and not identical with the Sumerian Damu.[2]
