Sometimes called Zur-Nammu or '''Ur-Engur''', Ur-Nammu came to power towards the end of the 3rd Millennium BC (perhaps ruling between 2065 BC and 2047 BC Short Chronology ). He founded a new Sumerian dynasty, the 3rd Dynasty Of Ur , in southern Mesopotamia , following several centuries of Akkadian and Gutian rule. He was succeeded by king Shulgi . Ur-Nammu is chiefly remembered for his Legal Code , which is arguably the oldest surviving example in the world, although Urukagina of nearby Lagash also has a claim. He was also responsible for building the great Ziggurat at Ur. SEE ALSO |
