UR; The city in Mesopotamia

Ur, one of the cities in Mesopotamia, was a major city, and later the capital, of the Ancient Sumerian Empire. Ur was the world’s largest city. The city featured many amazing temples and tombs. Most well-known remain is the Great Ziggurat.

The ziggurat was built in the center of town. In its architectural form, size and technological aspects the ziggurat embodied and expressed the unified and unifying power of new social-historical structures. And also there is some artist painting which a boy is racing by on his way to school, someone milking a cow or making a basket. 

Cities usually had different social groups. Ur had three levels of society. At the top were the most powerful government officials, priests, and soldiers. The society's second level was made up of merchants, teachers, laborers, farmers, and craftsmen. At the bottom of the social scale were the slaves, who often had been captured during battle.

Typical god of Ur is a god of the moon which is called Sin or Nanna. He is commonly designated as En-zu, which means "lord of wisdom". During the period (c.2600-2400 BC) that Ur exercised a large measure of supremacy over the Euphrates valley, Sin was naturally regarded as the head of the pantheon.

Ur was importing elite goods from geographically distant places. These objects include precious metals which are all the more impressive considering the distance from which they traveled to reach Mesopotamia and Ur specifically.
