readx;?? The city of Llarrak is located on the west bank of the middle reaches of the Tigris, northeast of Nipur, southeast of Babylon, and southeast of Baghdad. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In 3800 BC, the Sumerians came to Lallac to integrate with the local natives and began to build the city of Lallac.

Baidu on Chinese Lalrak City is translated as Lalsa City, which is a big mistake, you must know the two, Lalsa is in the southwest, and Lalrak is in the northeast. After the flood, there was indeed the city of Larsa, there was the dynasty of Larsa, and before the flood the city of Larlac was in completely different English.

In 3505 BC, his descendants captured Badtibila. Lallak became the new political center of Mesopotamia.

In 3492 BC, it was captured by the Sibal dynasty. The Lalrak dynasty perished.

"Larsa declined, and royal power was transferred to Sipal. ”

Enmei Tur Anna-ana, reigned 3603-3483.

The city of Sipal, originally a local indigenous settlement, is located on the right bank of the Euphrates River in the northernmost part of the Akkadian region, close to Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, and distributed in the northern Akkadian region. The local people worship the sun god Utu. There is a temple of Utu.

Around 3800 BC, the Sumerians came to Lalrak to merge with the local natives and began to build the city of Lalrak.

In 3603 BC, Enmei Tur Anna founded the Sipal dynasty.

In 3492 BC, his descendants captured Larsa. Sipal became the new political center of Mesopotamia.

In 3483 BC, it was captured by the Sulupac dynasty. The Sibal dynasty fell.

"Sipal declined, and royal power shifted to Shulupak. ”

Upala Tutu, reigned 3714-3474.

Shulupak City was originally a local Aboriginal settlement, located southeast of Nipur, away from the riverbank. A temple with the main deity was built.

In 3714 BC, Upala Tutu led some Sumerians to Shulupak to merge with the local natives and establish the Shulupak dynasty.

In 3483 BC, Napsidinum, the last monarch of Shulupak, captured Sipal. Shurupak became the new political center of Mesopotamia.

Overall, this period was one of the most chaotic in Sumerian history, with frequent wars between several city-states.

In 3474 BC, many cities, including Eredu, were inundated by a megaflood. It may be a regional flood. Because if it is a global flood, it can only be caused by the second global flood in history caused by the sunspot eruption. However, there is a difference of more than 1,000 years between the dynasty and the time of the Chinese flood (the Diyao period, which is about 2300 BC).

Climatologists speculate that Mesopotamia was at its warmest and wettest during the post-glacial period, with frequent rainfall, a far cry from today's arid climate. According to historical records, flooding was a frequent occurrence around the river at that time, and Elidu was flooded many times in history.

But this flood was somewhat unusual, characterized by the flooding of the two rivers, which was purged as long as it was located along the river, regardless of north and south, and almost leveled the old cities of Mesopotamia along the two rivers.

Many cities or settlements founded by the Sumerians, such as Eredu, Badtibira, Llarlac, Sipal, Uruk, Kud, Ubaid, your, etc., were destroyed.

Only the cities or settlements of Kish, Shulupak, Attab and Nipur, which are located in the middle of the two rivers and far from their banks, have survived before Kish rises to prominence. It became the most important city for more than 1,000 years.

The city was then rebuilt from the ruins after the flood. Although Eredu, Badtibila, Lallac, and Sipal were rebuilt after the flood, they completely declined politically, while the cities of Uruk and your have since come to the stage of history.

The original poem of the legend of the Great Flood is recorded on a broken clay tablet and says that Ann, Enlil, and Enki created humans, animals, and plants, and prescribed the life span of man, and built five large cities.

Later, the ruler of the city of your (the moon god Nanna-Suan) angered the main god Enlil, who launched a "great flood" to destroy the city-state of Nanna-Suan your. Later, Uruk, who was guarded by Eanna, was also tragically killed by the pond fish, and Eanna shed tears of compassion for mankind, and since then the relationship with Enlil has deteriorated sharply. During the civil war against Zu, she even refused to fight for the kingship of Enlil.

Ann could not do anything about it, but informed the ruler of his "Shurupak", Napsitim, and taught him to build an ark to avoid disaster. When the flood came, all beings were submerged. Napsidinm thought he was getting old, so he pushed his son Jiyusudra onto the boat. Later, Napsidinum was given eternal life by the Lord God Enlil.

This story was later adapted several times and slowly became the "Noah's Ark" of the Bible.

But in reality, Shulupak did not experience flooding, as did Kish, Attab, and Nipur because they were far from the two major rivers.

Common deities include:

Su: Also known as Anzu, Pasusu, a bird spirit, a guard of the temple, known as the strongest of the junior gods, who participated in the great flood unleashed by Enlil. Later, he stole the Mandate of Heaven card Tabrett in a vain attempt to stand on his own feet, and was defeated by Ningirsu.
