Head of Gudea in polished diorite, reign of Gudea (Boston Museum of Fine Arts).
A researcher summarizes the history of the Gutians thus: “The Guti/Qutils of central and southern Kurdistan, after gradually unifying the smaller mountain principalities, became strong enough in 2250 BC to actually annex Sumeria and the rest of lowland Mesopotamia. A Guti/Qutil dynasty ruledSumeria for 130 years until 2120 BC.” (Izady 1993)Guti is the name of another period in the history and civilization of the Kurdish people, and Gutian are also other ancestors of the Kurdish people.------------The Guti or Quti, also known by the derived exonyms Gutians or Guteans, were a nomadic people of the Zagros Mountains in ancient times. They are often regarded as precursors of the modern Kurds.
Conflict with Gutium or Qutium (Sumerian: Gu-tu-umki or Gu-ti-umki) has been linked to the collapse of the Akkadian Empire, towards the end of the 3rd millennium BCE. The Guti subsequently overran southern Mesopotamia and formed, for several generations a royal dynasty of Sumer.
n the first millennium BC, the term “Gutium” was used to refer to the region between the Zagros and the Tigris, also known as western Media. All tribes to the east and northeast who often had hostile relations with the peoples of lowland Mesopotamia, were referred to as Gutian or Guti. Assyrian royal annals use the term Gutians to refer to Iranian populations otherwise known as Medes or Mannaeans; and as late as the reign of Cyrus the Great of Persia, the famous general Gubaru (Gobryas) was described as the “governor of Gutium”.quantumfuturegroup-
