Mesopotamian myth 7 The Lament for Ur is a Sumerian language Sumerian lament composed after the fall of Ur to the Elamites and the end of the city s ThirdDynasty of Urthirddynasty c. 2000 BC . It contains one possibly the first of five known Mesopotamia n city laments &mdash dirge s for ruined cities in the voice of the city s tutelary deity tutelary goddess &mdash within its eleven kirugu sections or stanza s . In this case it is Ningal who weeps for her city, after pleading with the god Enlil to call back his destructive storm. Interspersed with the goddess s wailing are other sections, possibly of different origin and composition these describe the ghost town that Ur has become, recount the wrath of Enlil s storm, and invoke the protection of the god Nanna Sumerian deity Nanna against future calamities. Samuel Noah Kramer compiled twenty two different fragments into the first complete edition of the Lament , which was published in 1940 by the University of Chicago as Lamentation over the Destruction of Ur Assyriological Study no. 12 . The other city laments are The Lament for Sumer and Ur The Lament for Nippur The Lament for Eridu The Lament for Uruk The Book of Lamentations of the Old Testament , which bewails the destruction of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon , is similar in style and theme to these earlier Mesopotamia n laments.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Orphan date December 2009 Ur organism is the term loosely given to the hypothetical first life species, from which all other life presumably evolved. The term was used first by Charles Darwin , and has been picked up by various subsequent thinkers addressing the same questions of origin of species. Not to be confused with the Last universal ancestor LUA , the term ur organism refers to the first universal ancestor common to all life existing on earth today. It is therefore the ancestor of the LUA. The ur organism is not necessarily the Abiogenesis first instance of life arising abiogenically on Earth. As with the concept of the Mitochondrial Eve , the existence of the ur organism does not imply the existence of a population bottleneck or a first organism. It is estimated to have lived some 3.9 to 4.1 billion years ago.
