 | | This successor was not only an enemy of the city of Ur, but also of his predecessor Namhani, who obviously had been cooperating with Ur. | | | The political history of the period between the fall of the Akkadian empire and the beginning of the Ur III state can be described as obscure, to say the very least. | | | If Namhani was promoted – and presumably supported – by the king in Ur, then who was responsible for partially destroying or erasing his name in several of his inscriptions? |

| | When Woolley returned to Ur, he discovered his own alluvial deposit and claimed credit for the discovery of the flood in the popular press without mention of Kish. | | | And the story of the flood was carried down in later Jewish, Christian, and even Muslim traditions, where it occurs in the Koran (Sura 11: 25-48). | | | This went on for about three feet and then, suddenly, it all stopped; there were no more potsherds, no ashes, only clean water-laid mud, and the Arab workmen at the bottom of the shaft told me that he had reached virgin soil; there was nothing more to be found, and he had better go elsewhere. |

| | The Book of Jubilees states that Ur was founded in 1687 Anno Mundi (year of the world) by 'Ur son of Kesed, presumably the offspring of Arphaxad, adding that in this same year, wars began on Earth. | | | He and his successor Shulgi were both deified during their reigns, and after his death, he continued as a hero-figure: one of the surviving works of Sumerian literature describes the death of Ur-Nammu and his journey to the underworld. | | | Evidence was found of prior restorations of the ziggurat by Ishme-Dagan of Isin and Gimil-Sin of Ur, and by Kuri-galzu, a Kassite king of Babylon in the 14th century BC. |

| | Reading about the history of Iraq is mind-boggling, starting with the Sumerians who came from the highlands of Iran and northern Anatolia around 3000 B.C. and passing through the Chaldeans, Assyrians, and then the Babylonians under the rule of Hammarubi who is famous for his code of laws. | | | The mud bricks were made out of mud and reed; the reed was pressed into moulds that had been left to dry in the sun. | | | These ziggurats were built during the third millennium B.C. Archaeologists don’t know for certain what the purpose of these ziggurats was; however, it is speculated that they had some connection with religion. |
