2493 BCE to 2350 BCE
The kings of Ur at the beginning of the twenty-fifth century BCE become the effective rulers of Sumer.
In the first dynasty of Ur, established by the king Mesannepada (or Mesanepada, Mes-Anni-Padda), who is on the Sumerian kinglist and is named on one artifact as a son of Meskalamdug, many elaborate tombs, including that of Mesannepada’s queen, Puabi, begin to be constructed.
In this royal cemetery were also found artifacts bearing the names of kings Meskalamdug and Akalamdug.
