Mural of King Humban Haltas III
He is Humban Haltash III, the last ruler of Elam, who was king in 650 BC.
During his reign, due to the rebellions launched by the Elamites, the Assyrian king Ashurbanipal dealt them a fatal blow and occupied their capital, Shusha. The Elamite king, Homban Haltash III, was arrested and taken prisoner to the land of Assyria.
Inscriptions and sculptures of King Ashurbanipal in his palace in Nineveh show how the Elamite king Humpan Haltash was in a humiliating situation as he was forced to serve food at an Assyrian banquet. It is unclear what happened to Humpan Haltash after that.
In the two pictures above we see Humban the Elamite fighting, then being captured and taken prisoner in an Assyrian chariot.
In the bottom picture we see a humiliated human serving food at an Assyrian banquet.
Located in today's Iranian provinces of Elam and Khuzestan, ancient Elam was one of the most impressive civilizations of the ancient world. Elam was never a cohesive state or kingdom inhabited by a single nationality, but rather it was always a league of different tribes ruled by the cities of Kalsus (Sussa), Anshan, and Shemashki at different times until they gathered - during the Middle Elamite era - for a short period into one empire.
The name “Elam” is foreign to it; The ancient Iraqis gave that region this name. Sumerians and Akkadians, perhaps a distortion of the name that the Elamites gave to themselves, which is “Haltami” or “Haltamati” meaning “inhabitants of high countries.” Therefore, Elam is translated to give the meaning: high land or high country; It consisted of settlements established on the Iranian plateau extending from the southern plains to the Zagros Mountains. The Bible claims (Genesis 22:10) that Elam was named after Elam, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, but this claim finds no support outside the Bible itself.
