c 2124 BC Great Earthquake
"Little is known about the Gutian period,
or how long it endured.
Cuneiform sources suggest
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."
c 2112
The Third Dynasty of Ur
also called the Neo-Sumerian Empire
"a nascent empire"
"The Sumerian king Ur-Nammu
{2112–2095 BC} cleared the Gutians
from Mesopotamia during his reign."
