Ukush
Ukush, also sometimes Uu or Bubu, was a Sumerian ruler of the city-state of Umma. He was the father of the famous Lugal-Zage-Si, who took control of all Sumer.
Ukush is known from the :File:Nippur vase of Lugalzagesi.jpg|Nippur vase inscription of Lugal-Zage-Si:
Other inscriptions, such as an inscription on a brick with a central hole in the Bible Lands Museum, also mention Lugalzagesi as "son of Ukush". Another dedicatory inscription is also known.
It is thought that he played an important role in making Umma a strong city with a powerful army, which allowed his son to achieve the defeat of neighbouring and traditional rival Lagash and its king Urukagina, and then the conquest of all Sumer.
