      My brother Ratan Joseph from India, who was working then at Baghdad's US military also toured Ur then and sent us pictures of ziggurat, settlements and the house of Abraham before he travelled to Canaan etc.
      He also sent us reeds etc from Ur.

      You know our ancient people here in Mindanao are called Uranun, which i believe you agree mean People of Ur. It is said that our nation then is Sarruvassai. You have any idea what this word Sarruvassai mean in english today?

    In Genesis 11:26-31, Abram is introduced as son of Terah, coming from Ur Kasdim (Ur of the Chaldeans). This is not just a case of using the then-current name for a territory that has changed rulers. Genesis 15:7 “quotes” Yahweh telling Abram that Yahweh brought Abram out of Ur Kasdim.
    “The Chaldeans” didn’t exist until at least the 10th C BCE... soon after the time of David, and they didn’t take Ur until the 7th C BCE. It is difficult to be born in a region that didn’t exist until centuries after you supposedly lived.
    But if the authors of Nehemiah and Genesis could have known about the Chaldeans and thought that Ur had been under the Chaldeans before the Israelites existed.
    Abram/Abraham was most likely an eponymous invention.

    There's a phenomenona most people in world not aware of.it happen when you have new cities growing in the neighborhood of old cities towns where people living in with old habits customs of the age when those old cities towns began. That's where we have the word urban came from which is not very different from " modern" lifestyle.i know urban is more like living in metropolies with all the new technologies services available to you. Modern is a approach to life a new way to look at some of old things while ready to accept new changes coming with time. We know people living or coming from different places have different views ideas about life or how people should live. This phenomenon as old as the "UR" or URUK. When we have new opportunities arrived we see all types of people present on the scene,I know in old books dealing with history this situation is often mentioned as clash or conflict ,as we moving from 2024 BC to 2024 AD curtain on the human drama raised and many people have idea without having any higher academic background. What I found is something related to human person it's very much people and their personal choices and their decisions which lead to communities to growth and prosperity, its was ignored in the past smallest bit of humanity which is a human individual, not the king or king of the kings but man who is everyone and everybody today its possible with the access to modern technology no historian no herodotus ever imagined that information and communication technologies will bring a change, when we can say world is changed and it's changed for good.

    Total misinformation .
    There are 6 ancient cities named UR which means city or town in Akkadian .
    1 Ur the ancient city in the Video
    2 UR uk a city that is nearby.
    3 Ur garit an ancient City in Syria on the Mediterranean Sea.
    4 Ur aritu the ancient city in Turkey. Today it is called Van.
    This is where Noah lived . The Ararat mountains go right down to the shoreline of lake Van the 4th largest lake in the world which experienced tremendous Glacial flooding 7500 years ago .
    5 Jerusalem
    The original name was
    Uru Salam 8000 years ago.
    Salam today in Arabic means welcome. So the name translates to Welcome to Ur .
    6 Ur fa in Turkey . This is the actual birthplace of Abraham .
    There is a cave in Urfa where Abraham was born . It's called the Cave of the Patriarchs .
    The artifacts here are 11, 000 years old . 5000 years older than the Ur in Iraq .
    This is the Garden of Eden from the first chapter of the Bible. This is also the first city on earth.
    In Genesis the first chapter of the Bible it talks about
    GOING UP TO HIGH PLACES TO PRAY .
    Abraham's cave is in the valley by the Euphrates and if you walk three miles up a hill you come to Gobleki Tepe which is also the oldest monastery in the world. It is also 11,000 years old..
    So Radio carbon dating proves that this was the original Ur.

    They are showing the Sumerians as white or Caucasian. However, the people in that lived in that region during that period, the Ubaid period, we black. They weren't even what think of as Arab today back then. The whites, for the most part, were still confined to the caves and hillsides of Europe or what is known as the Caucasus mountains. The founders of civilization Sumer, along the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, were black. Later, the whites emerged from the Caucasus, then into Eurasian Steppes and then unto civilization of Sumer, mixing in with the indigenous inhabitants already there.

      Ur is definitely hard to say and hear for a modern English speaker. It sounds like a hesitation sound. In the Lament of Ur, however, they called it Uril. I think the second syllable gives it a better ring
