Amar-Sin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Amar-Sin (2046-2037 BCE High chronology) was the third ruler of the Ur III Dynasty, son of Shulgi (2094-2047 BCE). His reign is notable for his attempt at regenerating the ancient sites of Sumer. He apparently worked on the unfinished ziggurat at Eridu.[citation needed] (It has been suggested that this ziggurat was the origin of the story of the Tower of Babel.)
Eridu was abandoned during his reign. Salinity problems had made agricultural pursuits in this region unprofitable.
