| | |  1950 BC: Encyclopedia II - Ur - HistoryUr was inhabited in the earliest stage of village settlement in southern Mesopotamia, the Ubaid period. However it later appears to have been abandoned for a time. Scholars believe that, as the climate changed from relatively moist to drought in the early 3rd millennium BC, the small farming villages of the Ubaid culture consolidated into larger settlements, arising from the need for large-scale, centralized irrigation works to survive the dry spell. Ur became one such a center, and by around 2600 BC, in the Sumerian Early Dynastic Period III, the city was again thriving. Ur by this time w ...

| | | | 1950 BC: Encyclopedia II - Lilith - Akkadian mythology
Lilith - Kiskil-lilla.
Lilith has been identified with ki-sikil-lil-la-ke4, a female demon in the Sumerian prologue to the Gilgamesh epic.
Kramer translates:
a dragon had built its nest at the foot of the tree
the Zu-bird was raising its young in the crown,
and the demon Lilith had built her house in the middle.
[...]
Then the Zu-bird flew into the mountains with its young,
while Lilith, petrified with fear, tore down ...

| | | | 1950 BC: Encyclopedia II - Lilith - Jewish tradition A Hebrew tradition exists in which an amulet is inscribed with the names of three angels and placed around the neck of newborn boys in order to protect them from the lilin until their circumcision. This practice lends weight to the argument that Lilith had existed in earlier Hebrew mythology and is not the creation of later medieval authors. There is also a Hebrew tradition to wait a while before a boy's hair is cut so as to attempt to trick Lilith into thinking the child is a girl so that the boy's life may be spared.

| | | | 1950 BC: Encyclopedia II - Lilith - Lilith as Adam's first wife The passage in Genesis 1:27 — "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them" (before describing a mate being made of Adam's rib and being called Eve in Genesis 2:22) is sometimes believed to be an indication that Adam had a wife before Eve.
A medieval reference to Lilith as the first wife of Adam is the anonymous The Alphabet of Ben-Sira, written sometime between the 8th and 11th centuries. Lilith is described as refusing to assume a subservient role to Adam during s ...

Lilith appears as a succubus in Aleister Crowley's De Arte Magica.

| | | | 1950 BC: Encyclopedia II - Ur - Biblical Ur Ur is considered by many to be the city of Ur Kasdim mentioned in the Book of Genesis as the birthplace of Abraham.
Ur is mentioned four times in the Tanakh or Old Testament, with the distinction "of the Kasdim/Kasdin" — traditionally rendered in English as "Ur of the Chaldees", referring to the Chaldeans, who were already settled there by around 900 BC.
Ur is said to be the birthplace of the patriarch Abram (Abraham). In Genesis, the name is found in 11:28, 11:31 and 15:7. In ...

| | | | 1950 BC: Encyclopedia II - Ur - Access to visitors There is no modern village at Ur, so it has never received many tourist visitors, although it has been made accessible to them. Saddam Hussein established a military base adjacent to the site, and it was wholly inaccessible even to the hardiest travellers, on security grounds, after the Iran-Iraq war. In early 1990, a handful of travellers were permitted to tour the site, escorted by soldiers, but they were not permitted to climb the ziggurat (as they were elsewhere) because of its commanding view of the military base and all the country sur ...

| | | | 1950 BC: Encyclopedia II - Ur - Archaeology In the mid-17th century, the site was visited by Pietro della Valle, who recorded the presence of ancient bricks stamped with strange symbols, cemented together with bitumen, as well as inscribed pieces of black marble that appeared to be seals.
The first excavation was made by British consul J.E. Taylor, who partly uncovered the ziggurat. Clay cylinders found in the four corners of the top stage of the ziggurat bore an inscription of Nabonidus (Nabuna`id), the last king of Babylon (539 BC), closing with a prayer for his son Be ...

| | | | 1950 BC: Encyclopedia II - Ur - January 2004 Some of the areas that were cleared during excavations are sanded over again.
The site is set up for tourism, however not on the scale exhibited by some sites in Egypt. Electricity is at the site and several lines of poles go through the site area. There are a few steel poles about 25 m high, near the Great Ziggurat, that seem to be intended for lighting of the site; however there are no actual lamps on them. Tourist information signs are also found at the site in Arabic. There are a few shaded resting places available for tourists loca ...
