“Uruk was smitten with weapons; its kingship to Ur was carried…”
When Harran (Abraham’s brother) died at an early age, the family was living in “Ur of the Chaldees.” There, Abraham met Sarai (later named Sara). Then:
“did Terah take Abram his son and Lot his grandson, the son of Harran,
and Sarai his daughter-in-law the wife (½ sister) of Abram his son;
and they left and went forth from Ur of the Chaldees to go to the land of Canaan;
and they went as far as Harran, and dwelt there…”
Abraham, as (Sitchin concluded) was born in 2123 B.C., he was a child of ten when Ur-Nammu ascended the throne in Ur, when (god) Nannar (El) was favored for the first time…And he was…twenty-seven when Ur-Nammu inexplicably fell from Anu’s and Enlil’s favor, slain in a distant battlefield…the year when…Terah and his family left Ur…
All through the following years of Ur’s decline and (King) Shulgi’s profanities, the family stayed on in Harran. Then, suddenly, the Lord acted again: (the Bible)
“And Yahweh said unto Abram:
‘Get thee out of thy country and out of thy birthplace
and from thy father’s house, unto the land which I will show thee’…
And Abram departed as Yahweh had spoken unto him, and Lot went with him.
And Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Harran….”
The very year of (King) Shulgi’s downfall!…It was only when he was ninety-nine years old that Abraham became a “Semite.”

In Ur we learn from the lamentations (one of which was composed by Ningal (herself) that Nannar and Ningal refused to believe that the end of Ur was irrevocable. Nannar addressed a long and emotional appeal to his father…
Enlil said:
“Ur was granted kingship–
it was not granted an eternal reign.
Since days of yore, when Sumer was founded,
to the present, when people have multiplied–
Who has ever seen a kingship of everlasting reign?…”
While the appeals were made, Ningal recalled in her long poem,
“the storm was ever breaking forward,
its howling overpowering all.
Although of the day I still tremble,
of that day’s foul smell we did not flee…”
As night came, “a bitter lament was raised” in Ur, yet the god and goddess stayed on…and Ningal realized that Nannar
“had been overtaken by the evil storm…”
…Only next day, when
“the storm was carried off from the city
Ningal, in order to go from her city… hastily put on a garment,…”
and together with the stricken Nannar departed from the city they so loved. As they were leaving they saw death and desolation:
“the people, like potsherds, filled the city’s streets;
in its lofty gates, where they were wont to promenade,
dead bodies were laying about;
in its boulevards, where the feasts were celebrated, scattered they lay;
in all of its streets, where they were wont to promenade,
dead bodies were laying about;
in its places where the land’s festivities took place, the people lay in heaps.…
The dead bodies, like fat placed in the sun, of themselves melted away (nuclear war)..”
Then did Ningal raise her lamentation for Ur…
“O house of Sin in Ur, bitter is thy desolation…
O Ningal whose land has perished, make thy heart like water!
The city has become a strange city, how can one now exist?
The house has become a house of tears, it makes my heart like water…
Ur and its temples have been given over to the wind.”
“On the banks of the Tigris and Euphrates, only sickly plants grew…
In the swamps grow sickly-headed reeds that rot in the stench…
In the orchards and gardens there is no new growth, quickly they waste away…
The cultivated fields are not hied, no seeds are planted in the soil,
no songs resound in the fields…”
In the countryside the animals were also affected:
“On the steppe, cattle large and small became scarce,
all living creatures came to an end.
The sheepfolds have been delivered to the wind…
The hum of the turning churn resounds not in the sheepfold…
The stalls provide not fat and cheese…
Ninurta has emptied Sumer of milk…”
“The storm crushed the land, wiped out everything;
it roared like a great wind over the land, none could escape it;
desolating the cities, desolating the houses…
No one treads the highways, no one seeks out the roads…”
The desolation of Sumer was complete.
