| Summary: | The civilization of Sumer spanned nearly 3,000 years, and its many accomplishments, including the invention of writing, had a profound effect on subsequent peoples, not only in Mesopotamia but throughout the ancient Near East and beyond.

This paper continues that process, using as its basis tablets from the Third Dynasty of Ur, its last period of greatness at the end of the second millennium B.C.E.
