AI overview

Ur was one of the most important cities in ancient Mesopotamia, located in what is now southern Iraq near the Euphrates River, and it served as a significant city-state beginning around the 26th century BC. The site, now called Tell el-Muqayyar, was originally situated on the coast of the Persian Gulf, though changes in the coastline have left it inland today.

乌尔(蘇美語:Urim;:𒋀𒀕𒆠 URIM2或𒋀𒀊𒆠 URIM5KI; 阿卡德語:Uru; 阿拉伯语:أور‎;希伯來語:אור‎ ,英語:Ur),又稱吾珥,是美索不达米亚的一座古城。当时位于底格里斯河与幼发拉底河注入波斯湾的入海口,遗址位于今伊拉克,巴格达以南纳西里耶附近,幼发拉底河的南部。它的地理位置是北纬30°57'和东经46°6'。屬伊拉克濟加爾省。 中译本《圣经》将其译为“吾珥”,是犹太人祖先亚伯拉罕的故乡,也是犹太人的发源地。 废墟遗址上最显眼的是一座供奉月神的神庙,这座神庙基本被保存下来了。它是一座两层高的砖建筑物,下层的砖是用沥青结合起来的,上层的砖是用结合的。除这座神庙外还有许多过去住房的遗迹。
