In Genesis, Ur is the home of Terah's family.
And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.

4. In Ur, where Abraham was born, he tarried for a time; and when he told the people who he was, and why he came, they came from near and far to speak to him.5. He said to them, We all are kin. Two thousand years and more ago, our Father Abraham lived here in Ur, and then he worshipped God the One, and taught the people in these sacred groves.6. And he was greatly blessed; becoming father of the mighty hosts of Israel.7. Although so many years have passed since Abraham and Sarah walked these ways, a remnant of their kindred still abide in Ur.8. And in there hearts the God of Abraham is still adored, and faith and justice are the rocks on which they build.9. Behold this land! It is no more the fruitful land that Abraham loved so well; the rains come not as in the former times; the vine is not productive now, and withered are the figs.

A pious Brahm named Terah lived in Ur; his son was so devoted to the Brahmic faith that he was called A-Brahm; and he was set apart to be the father of the Hebrew race.7. Now, Terah took his wife and sons and all his flocks and herds to Haran in the West; here Terah died.8. And Abram took the flocks and herds, and with his kindred journeyed farther west;9. And when he reached the Oaks of Morah in the land of Canaan, he pitched his tents and there abode.10. A famine swept the land and Abram took his kindred and his flocks and herds and came to Egypt, and in these fertile plains of Zoan pitched his tent, and here abode.11. And men still mark the place where Abrahm lived-across the plain.12. You ask why Abram came to Egypt land?

1. In Persia Jesus' work was done and he resumed his journey towards his native land.2.

In this sense, the Earth being a living being, also has an aura or “registration”, a blue glow that is characteristic of UR planets, worlds that meet conditions for cosmic evolution.
Jesuit paleographer Burrows, who accompanied Leonard Woolley on his 1930s archeological dig at Ur (and who later figures a the murderer in Agatha Christie's "Murder in Mesopotamia"), dates Mesopotamian/biblical flood at 3700 BC (January 1930 Dublin Review)
3500 Leonard Woolley, head of the joint British American team excavating Ur, dates the flood layer found at the base of the ruins of Ur at 3500 BC.
3000 Sumerians in Mesopotamia By late fourthmillenium a network of Sumerian towns has developed in lower Mesopotamia of which perhaps the best known is Uruk, some xx northwest of Ur, though even the detailed excavations by German archeologists of the temple of Anu and the nearby Eanna complex in the xxx did not extend any deeper than 3500 B,c or roughly to the level of the flood.
Archaeological evidence shows multiple flood deposits at Ur (c.
Ur: Dated to around 3500 BCE, with a thick layer up to 11 feet, found by Leonard Woolley.
This section provides a comprehensive examination of the archaeological evidence for flood deposits at Ur, Kish, and Shuruppak, focusing on the work of key archaeologists like Leonard Woolley and Eric Schmidt.
The following table summarizes the key flood deposits at Ur, Kish, and Shuruppak, including dates, thicknesses, and the archaeologists involved:
Leonard Woolley's excavations at Ur (1928–1929) revealed a significant flood deposit dated to approximately 3500 BCE, with a thickness of up to 11 feet.
These findings, predating Woolley's work at Ur, align more closely with the chronological context of Mesopotamian flood stories, particularly the flood at the end of the Jemdet Nasr period (c.
In contrast, the earlier flood at Ur (3500 BCE) is considered a separate, earlier event, not directly related to the narratives.
However, no significant new archaeological findings contradicting the established dates (Ur: 3500 BCE, Kish: 3000–2600 BCE, Shuruppak: 2950–2850 BCE) have emerged in recent years, suggesting the current understanding remains robust.
The archaeological evidence from Ur, Kish, and Shuruppak confirms multiple historical flooding events in southern Mesopotamia, occurring at different times and locations.

Nimrod's rule over Assyria reflects the long-standing cultural superiority of Babylonia over Assyria, pointing to a period before 2000 BC under the Akkadian or Ur III dynasties, or around 610 to 539 BC during the Neo-Babylonian Chaldean rule.
However, it was repeatedly restored, with significant rebuilding efforts by rulers like Naram-Sin, Ur-Nammu, Ishme-Dagan, and Esarhaddon.
