who was the first known king in the world?

Answer 1

In the Postdiluvium Period, Nimrod of Ancient Babylon was the first self-proclaimed king of the world as confirmed in the Holy Scriptures and cross confirmed in the "Sumerian Kings' List", a chronology of Mesopotamian Kings covering hundreds of thousands of years, including the Antediluvium Period, prior to our current Earth Age. Historians totally reject the enormous dates claimed in these historical cuneiform tablets, because these dates do not fit well in the erroneous historical paradigm of linear history, and the current limited mindset of the Anthropological Orthodoxy.

From Genesis we read: "Cush begat Nimrod, who was the first to be a despot on the earth. He was an overbearing tyrant in Jehovah's sight; wherefore the saying, Even as Nimrod, the overbearing tyrant in Jehovah's sight." (Genesis 10:8,9)

Answer 2

Biblical whoo hah notwithstanding, Nimrod is as good an answer as any. Because you are asking about the first KNOWN king. We've been modern humans, both physically and behaviorly for about 50,000 years. There's only been writing for about the last 8000, and written records for all but the last couple of hundred years are pretty sketchy. So, there's 45,000 years of human pre-history. It's safe to assume that the hunter-gather tribes had chiefs, and, that as the hunter-gathers became farmers about 10,000 years ago, and developed permenant towns and cities, someone probably started calling himself king.

However, for firsts in terms of both hazy history mixed with myth, besides Nimrod, we have Gilgamesh who was an historical king of Uruk in Babylonia, on the River Euphrates in modern Iraq; he lived about 2700 BCE. Narmer was the first Pharaoh of Egypt and lived around 3,100 BCE. Narmer (thought by some to be the same person as Menes) was not your run-of-the-mill pharaoh. He is a bona fide Pharaoh Hall of Famer, credited with unifying the land that became Egypt and founding the very first dynasty. Japan's first Emperor Jimmu, a descendant of the Sun Goddess Amaterasu, was enthroned in the year 660 BC.

Answer 3

Sort of kind of Adam and Eve but when reading the Urantia book it states that primitive man also had a King like government in tact before Adam and Eve. Governments and rulers have been around since the dawn of time pretty much because humanity will always look toward someone for answers and follow the natural pecking order like we see in children. That question you asked is a very grey area kind of question and probably will never have a true answer.

Answer 4

King Booker

Answer 5

Probably some sort of ancient Sumerian king, of Ur or something.. if the city-states were run by kings. Or Babylonian. I really don't know, you'll have to find yourself a history nerd.

Answer 6

His name may be in the book, "Beowolf", not sure. It was believed to be one of the very first books. But it might be too primitive for there to be a king.
