Meskalamdug ("hero of the good land") was an early king of Ur who is not named on the Sumerian King List . His tomb, found in the Royal Cemetery of Ur, contained numerous gold artifacts, which are now lost, including a golden helmet. His wife's name was Queen Ninbanda . His name was also mentioned on a seal in another tomb with the title "''lugal''" (king), however because his own tomb lacked attendants, archaeologist Leonard Woolley assumed that he was not royal. On a bead inscription from Mari , he is also named as the father of king Mesannepada of Ur, who is known from many other inscriptions and is on the king list. |
