Shulgi

Shulgi (also formerly read as Dungi) of Urim is the second king of the "Sumerian Renaissance".

He reigns for 48 years, dated to 2029 BCE–1982 BCE (short chronology).

He completes construction of the Great Ziggurat of Ur.

Both the readings "Shulgi" and "Dungi" were known before the turn of the 20th century, but over the course of that century, the scholarly consensus gravitated away from "Dungi" and toward "Shulgi" as being the correct pronunciation.
