Ur Nammu Stela

Ur-Nammu was king of Ur in ancient Mesopotamia (southern Iraq) around 2000 BC. In 1925 a joint expedition from the University of Pennsylvania Museum and The British Museum discovered dozens of fragments of a monument in honor of Ur-Nammu. This book includes the justification of the reconstructions, description of the scenes and speculation on the ancient fate of the stela. Published with the support of the Hagop Kevorkian Fund
