Ur: The History of the City-State in Ancient Mesopotamia

Written by Kelly Mass

Narrated by Doug Greene

Ur was a considerable Sumerian city-state in old Mesopotamia, situated near modern-day "Tell el-Muqayyar" in the Dhi Qar Governorate in southern Iraq. Ur was formerly a seaside city on the Persian Gulf, near the mouth of the Euphrates, but the shoreline has modified, and the city is now well inland, on the south bank of the Euphrates, sixteen kilometers (about 9.9 miles) from Nasiriyah in modern-day Iraq.

The city stemmed from the Ubaid period around 3800 BC, and it initially appears in written history as a city-state in the 26th century BC, with Mesannepada as its first noted king.

The subtitle fits the information, so there is no doubt about how legit this book is. So, here you have it. The thoughts from the author made a lot of sense to me. I agreed with everything, and that's one more reason the reason that I am so ecstatic about this book.
