My godly beginning in this world.
This is the votive boulder of Puzur-Inshushinak. With this stake he founded the city of Susa (or so he would like us to believe) over 4200 years ago:
It is also the very boulder which emitted a high-pitched alarm when I walked into the room encapsulating it, during the "Treasures of Susa" exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of the Arts in 1993. The alarm indicated to me that my boulder recognized me. Now do you have any doubts about my royal bloodline and my dominion over the universe? The Great Shushinak handed me the sceptre. Tremble, ye mortals!
