The text was copied from a Sargonic royal inscription on a statue in the Ur III or early Old Babylonian period. Magan was at Oman and at the Iranian side of the Gulf. Meluhha or Melukham was the Indus Valley civilization (ca. 2500-1800 BC).

This is one of fairly few references to the Indus civilization on tablets. The 3 best known references are:

       2gg-sargon-of-akkad  (Sargon The Great, “hero of old, man of renown, chosen by the Goddess of Love, Inanna)

  1. Sargon of Akkad (2334-2279 BC) referring to ships from Meluhha, Magan and Dilmun;

       6cc-sargons-grandson-naram-sin-victory-stela  (mixed-breed giant Naram-Sin, outside a landed command module – flying shem of the Anunnaki gods)

  1. Naram-Sin (2254-2218 BC) referring to rebels to his rule, listing the rebellious kings, including ‘(..)ibra, man of Melukha’; and

       8d-gudea-as-high-priest-of-lagash 8h-gudea-ningishzidda-dumuzi-enki-missing  (Gudea; Gudea, Ningisgzidda, Dumuzi, & Enki missing)

  1. Gudea of Lagash (2144-2124 BC) referring to Meluhhans that came from their country and sold gold dust, carnelian, etc.

    There are further references in literary texts. After ca. 1760 BC Melukha is not mentioned any more.
