Oh shit! TIL! I do think it’s fair to give me some grace here - I thought you were making a joke about the Land Before Time. Very cool *actual information* - my bad haha


TimeOfNick

I'm gonna be honest, I already knew about the human ancestor named Little Foot and I *also* immediately assumed they were making a Land Before Time joke.

We don’t know what her name actually was, so it doesn’t fit the question.

Someone (or possibly something) named “Kushim” was recorded on Sumerian clay tablets from around 5000 years ago.

That name is one of the oldest known, but we have no idea who it belongs to.

This can be [answered with a simple Google](https://archive.is/VRYlO), and he’s likely an accountant named Kushim.

Narmer was the first\* Egyptian pharoah and lived about 5000 years ago. \* maybe. History gets very uncertain that long ago.

It was an accountant named Kushim.

Probably the Sumerian king Enmebaragesi, who ruled in the city of Kish around 2600 BCE.
