The city of Ur is located in the far northeast of Lagash and east of the Baghdad area where Zanzai wanted to build Tianfang City.
Go north along the Tigris River and continue moving northeast along the river when you are about to reach Baghdad. You will arrive in about five hundred miles.
During this period, the main trunk of the Tigris River would pass through the city of Ur instead of going through Baghdad. There would only be tributaries in the Baghdad area.
A glorious dynasty once stood here, but it is now history.
The city state declined. At that time, the Akkadians occupied the place. Later, the Akkadians were driven away by the Kuti people. They experienced two ravages by the hunting people and the mountain peoples. Each time, the city of Ur faced such attacks.
storm.
And the first one was beaten until he lay down.
The first large-scale city-state with mountains to the east and a river to the west. On the undefended Mesopotamian plain, the city of Ur was destined to have a tragic ending as a battleground for military strategists.
The king here now is still a Kuti, and his name is Telliga.
The high mountain peoples still oppressed the Sumerians. The Sumerians in the city-state of Ur could only engage in menial herding or some unskilled handicraft work, such as making fishing nets and selling rope knots.
Herding was a good job in Sumer, but at this time, in the territory ruled by mountain peoples, it was considered a lowly job.
The remnants of the Akkadian forces were in the west, and the remnants of the Kutian forces were in the north and east. The Akkadians had declined, and the Kutians were not much better. At this time, news reached the city of Ur.
In the southwest, the King of Uruk, Psuruili, has declared war on the Kuti people and announced that he will launch a Northern Expedition in the near future!
The general who leads the soldiers is a fisherman named Utu Hegar. It is said that he has high military merit!
The Sumerians in the city of Ur eagerly awaited the king's arrival from the north.
Wang Shibei fixed the day of the Central Plains, and he did not forget to tell Nai Weng about the family sacrifices.
When will Master Wang set off?
When will Master Wang beat Kuti Barbarian?
How many companies does Master Wang have?
So, after waiting for a long time, although Uruk declared war, no soldiers came to attack the city of Ur.
Telliga, the king of the Kutians, was very angry at first and threatened to show the Sumerians some trouble!
Then, until now.
People are already numb.
The upright mountain people couldn't understand the Sumerian ppt tactics at all.
Fighting and fighting (just training the army).
In an era when city-states are in charge of their own affairs, I declare war on you but I will not fight you. If you are nervous for one day, relaxed for three days, and numb for five days, maybe I will send a magic weapon from the sky. I can be a thief for thousands of miles, but you cannot guard against thieves for a thousand days.
.
Because the rear area of Uruk is supported by various Sumerian city-states that have become independent and revolted one after another, including the most powerful city of Lagash, while on the side of Kuti, there is only Ah, who is ready to attack him at any time.
Card people.
It's not just the sleepy Kuti people who are numb.
There are also Sumerians who live in the city of Ur and cannot leave.
Who can withstand thunder without rain?
Fortunately, another piece of news came.
"It is said that on the other side of the Tigris River, in the land of Baghdad, a new city is about to be built!"
"The builder claims to be from the far east and has the support of Lagash!"
The news spread all over the sky, and the eyes of the Sumerian people lit up. They felt that it was time to run away on a large scale and start a new life. It didn't matter who built this city. What mattered was the support of Lagash.
Now Lagash is the spiritual pillar of all Sumerians.
The just shepherd, Gudea the Great, will surely protect the fleeing Sumerians.
"That city seems to be recruiting workers now and needs a lot of manpower."
When the Sumerian people were making handicrafts, they passed on the news one after another, but soon many soldiers rushed out of the Kuti Palace. The soldiers held golden brass scimitars, wore capes made of goat hair, and some held
Maces and stone axes began to suppress Sumerian speech in the streets.
"You can't survive without leaving the city of Ur. If anyone dares to leave the city of Ur, all your property and even your lives will be threatened!"
"You can only work in the city of Ur, and it is absolutely impossible to work in other city-states!"
"The king has given an order that soon we will attack the city that has not yet been built. By then, their workers will become slaves! And you should no longer think about escaping!"
The soldier raised his voice, stared, veins stretched on his forehead, and roared like a lion with broken vocal cords.
In the city of Ur, the Kutians accounted for the majority, and there were also some merchants from Dilmun and the Elamites. None of them had a direct interest in the Kutians, so they settled or traded. However, the number of Sumerians
Although it is very large, most of them are signed with work tablets like a contract of sale, and most of their wealth and lives are in the hands of the Kuti people.
There were only a small number of Sumerian free people in the city of Ur.
Of course, in addition to these types of people, there are also some small hunting tribes who settled here. The Kutians only oppressed the Akkadians and Sumerians, which resulted in the Akkadians who were originally incompatible with each other.
The barbarians and Sumerians were forced to stand on a united front.
Yesterday's enemies are today's friends.
One of these small hunting tribes is called the "Semitic people".
"Have you heard that a big city is going to be built on the other side of the river in the west, called Tianfang?"
In front of a larger mud brick house, a young man excitedly opened the door. Inside the door was a middle-aged man who looked like he had just come back and his wool was dirty.
That was the young man's uncle, and the young man couldn't wait to tell him that he might be able to go to that city to seek a way out as a master.
"Abram! Listen to me! I heard that the new city is recruiting people. It is a city-state supported by Lagash, but the owner of the city-state is not a Sumerian, but from the far east. I have never heard that
across that land, and in that city lies Enheduana, the great poet!"
"Before I heard any more news, the Sumerians who spread the news were suppressed by the Kutians!"
"I heard that that city-state appoints job positions based on skills, rather than race and origin!"
The young man looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, a time when he was in high spirits, while the middle-aged man inside had a gloomy look on his face: "What new city, Lot, why did you run back by yourself without grazing properly?"
The young man pointed to the sky: "The sun has set, and my work has been completed! That's why I came back!"
"Abram! Listen to me, I can find a good, decent job on my own!"
Abram was very unhappy: "We already have decent jobs in the city of Ur, so there is no need to move out."
"Decent work?!"
The young man was also unhappy: "After you smashed the mud statue of his grandfather, you spread your ideas everywhere, but no one will accept your ideas, so that as the leader of the Semitic tribe, you can only work every day.
Helping people move mud bricks on a construction site, is this your decent job?"
"You don't do my grandfather's work, and you don't allow me to do it! I'm not your son!"
"Tera's grandfather was a priest of the moon god. His idols could be sold at high prices, but you smashed his idols into pieces, claiming that those gods would not bring you protection!"
Abram was very unhappy and said angrily: "That will not bring shelter at all! What kind of soul can something made of clay have? Moreover, the gods have abandoned this place long ago. This is a place abandoned by gods!"
"You are not my son, that's why I have to discipline you! Because your father is my brother!"
"It is better to create new gods than to search for the gods of the past. I heard that Lagash in the south has already succeeded. The emergence of the great one is the turning point of the dark age! My thoughts must be like a torch, shining light in this dark world!"
