Tizqar of Kish was the nineteenth Sumerian king in the First Dynasty of Kish and succeeded his father Zamuq as ruler, according to some versions of the Sumerian King List.[1] His name does not appear in Early Dynastic inscriptions, meaning that he is unlikely to have been a real historical person.[2]
