	First historical personalities
		In the quarter or third of a millennium between Uruk Level IV and Enmebaragesi, southern Mesopotamia became studded with a complex pattern of cities, many of which were the centres of small independent city-states, to judge from the situation in about the middle of the millennium.
		Enmebaragesi, king of Kish, is the oldest Mesopotamian ruler from whom there are authentic inscriptions.
		In the Sumerian king list, Enmebaragesi is listed as the penultimate king of the 1st dynasty of Kish; a Sumerian poem, "Gilgamesh and Agga of Kish," describes the siege of Uruk by Agga, son of Enmebaragesi.

	Sumerian History
		The first name on the list whose existence is authenticated through archaeological evidence, is that of Enmebaragesi of Kish, whose name is also mentioned in the Gilgamesh epics.
		It cannot be ruled out that most of the earliest names in the list correspond to historical rulers who later became legendary figures.The first name on the list whose existence has been authenticated through recent archaeological discoveries, is that of Enmebaragesi of Kish, whose name is also mentioned in the Gilgamesh epics.
		This has led some to suggest that Gilgamesh himself was a historical king of Uruk, and not just a legendary one.

		According to the same texts, Gilgamesh is a contemporary of two other Sumerian kings, Enmebaragesi of Kish and Mesannepadda of Ur.
		Separate inscriptions of both of these kings as well as two sons of Mesannepadda have now been discovered, confirming their existence and thus greatly enhancing the likelihood that Gilgamesh was also an historical person.

		All Sumerian and Babylonian kings lists mention legendary, extremely long-lived kings preceding a flood which wiped out all living things but the humans and animals who survived in a large boat, exactly as in the Biblical Noah legend.
		The first historical figure in Sumerian history is Enmebaragesi, a ruler of Kish (ca2700), a Sumerian city in an area that later was part of Babylonia.
		But even here history blends with legend for the army of Kish was led by Agga, the son of Enmebaragesi, and these events are part of the epic of Gilgamesh, which like all national epics mixes facts with fancy.

		Regular combat between Mesopotamia and Elam (present-day western Iran) is known to have occurred around the dawn of Mesopotamian history.

		The next to last ruler of the first dynasty of Kish is Enmebaragesi, who is described in the Sumerian King List as the king who carried away the weapons of Elam as booty.
		There is certain recent evidence indicating that Enmebaragesi was a woman.
		It has been suggested that she was the en-priestess of Zababa of Kish and thus ruler of Kish, while her brother Gilgamesh was en-priest of Inanna of Uruk and thus ruler of Uruk.

	Non-Prophet: Earliest Historical Figure?
		My vote is for Narmer, also of Egypt, circa 32nd c.
		BC, if we're going for general archaelogical evidence; if we're talking more definitive proof of existence, I'm saying Enmebaragesi of Sumeria.
		You're right, there's not a lot of information that's readily accessible on the subject, and it is a very interesting question.

		The eight kings before the flood have individual reigns lasting from "18,600 years" to "43,200 years" while the reigns of the first 22 kings after the flood range from "84 years" to "1560 years", with an average of about 400 "years" apiece.
		The twenty-second king after the flood, Enmebaragesi (En-me-bara-ge-si), reigned "900 years" according to this document.
		Hence, the reality of such an individual king is affirmed by contemporary written documentation and the No. 2 interpretation, above, is shown to be unwarranted as a general rule.

	THE HISTORY OF ELAM - (CAIS) ©
		The proto-Elamite script (see iii, below), which has defied all efforts to decipher it, remained in use until about 2700 B.C.E., but it was in the little-known period that followed, between the end of the Proto-Elamite period and the establishment of the dynasty of Awan, that Elam began to emerge from anonymity.
		The first attestation of the name of the kingdom is in a text of the king Enmebaragesi of Kish, who ruled in about 2650 B.C.E. But it is only from the beginning of the Akkadian period that Elam really enters into history.
		In the following survey the variable orthography of proper names has been standardized, in the interests of simplification.
