I find it amazing that for thousands of years this great city was entirely lost to history, yet people would mention its name all the time when they read the bible as the city in which Abraham was born in. I am not a religious person, but the Bible has preserved a great wealth of knowledge and clues about the ancient world.

Definitely the most beautiful photographic collection of Sumerian art in this podcast, compared with others. This really shows off the colors and details of this sophisticated artistic culture.

I’ve seen numerous presentations on Ur and I have to say, this is one of the best. It was refreshing to see artifacts hitherto unseen and learn some new information. I am a fan HWP & I look forward to and am really enjoying the visual presentations! Keep ‘em coming pa-lease!! Thanks for posting!

The flood theory was a common phenomenon. Around the world nearly every early civilization has a flood myth. Most religions begin with the same narrative

Like always Chris, you always produce good informative material on such fascinating topics. Love and admiration from an Aussie fan from Down Under. BTW, my husband loves your stuff as well.

Ur is at a location which very well may have been once settled, then flooded, then settled again when the floods subsided. During the Ice Age the entire "gulf" was exposed dry land with the single combined river running through it. When the ice melted the "gulf waters" rose and flooded inland to well above Ur. Subsequent silting from the combined river would have then put Ur back as dry land with a flood level under it.
