"Little is known about the Gutian period,
or how long it endured.

that the Gutians' administration showed little concern
for maintaining agriculture, written records, or public safety;
they reputedly released all farm animals
to roam about Mesopotamia freely
and soon brought about famine and rocketing grain prices."

The Third Dynasty of Ur

"a nascent empire"

{2112–2095 BC} cleared the Gutians
from Mesopotamia during his reign."
