History with Cy | Ur-Nammu and the Foundation of the Neo-Sumerian Empire @HistorywithCy | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 3 minutes ago
In this video we explore what happened in the ancient Near East, specifically Mesopotamia, after the fall of the Akkadian Empire. For a brief period there was darkness; then, a sort of enlightenment period that was brought on by the advent of the Neo-Sumerian Empire, ruled by the Third Dynasty of Ur. The man largest responsible for this renaissance? Ur-Nammu.

Take a look at the beginnings of one of the most important, yet not so well-known, empires of the ancient world.
