  1. For those curious, Uruk is NOT the Biblical Ur.  That lies hundreds of miles up-river in Syria -- not Iraq. Ur, the Biblical urbanity, is thousands of years older than Uruk.  Virtually every expert cited is thousands of years off and hundreds of miles away from Ur. New York is not York.

  2.  @MohammadAli-iz9ld  No. Over time, a really long, long time, villages, towns, cities both come and go -- and also get re-named. ALL of the digs point to Anatolia as the origin of ultra-ancient culture. The stuff dug up in modern Iraq is millennia younger, many millennia younger than the first cities. As a general rule, the events and locations that truly belong up in Anatolia have been shifted down south -- to go with the shift in the dominant populations. As for coming and going, some sites now reveal more than twenty-layers in their tels. (!!) You can believe that such urbanities have been renamed many times. We now know -- and are stunned by -- the fact that grain-based agriculture dates back AT LEAST to 8,000 BC. This makes Sumer actually a half-way point in history. A fuller history of the ancients will have to await publication of my manuscript. Within it the grand chain of events is laid out -- logically -- with evidences coming out of science, digs and legend. Yeah, there are no end of false facts in the Torah. What's amazing is that any of it is remotely true.
