The Sealand (in Babylonian, mar timtim^[1]) was the name of a region along the southern edge of Mesopotamia.^[2] Ancient lists contain details about several kings of this region, who comprise what is known as the Sealand Dynasty.^[3]

Around 1732 BCE, the Sealand Dynasty was founded by Iluma-ilum, previously the ruler of Isin, who then established a territory for himself in the swampy lands of southern Mesopotamia, and survived attempts at destroying his kingdom by Abi-Eshuh.^[4] This dynasty controlled the territory "from Nippur southward" (see Nippur).^[5]
