Ur
Ur A city of the
SUMERIANS. It was occupied from the 5th millennium BC, and was at one point damaged by a severe flood. By 3000 BC it was one of a number of sizeable Sumerian cities. It was subject to the rule of
AKKAD, but emerged
c.2150 as the capital of a new Sumerian empire, under the third dynasty established by Ur-Nammu. The city was captured by the Elamites
c.2000, but thrived under the Chaldean kings of Babylon. It was finally abandoned in the 4th century BC.
