Ur Ur (Sumerian: Urim;[1] Sumerian Cuneiform: ð’‹€ð’€•ð’†  URIM2KI or ð’‹€ð’€Šð’†  URIM5KI;[2] Akkadian: Uru;[3] Arabic: Ø£ÙˆØ±â€Žâ€Ž) was an important Sumerian city-state in ancient Mesopotamia, located at the site of modern Tell el-Muqayyar (Arabic: ØªÙ„ Ø§Ù„Ù…Ù‚ÙŠØ±â€Žâ€Ž) in south Iraq's Dhi Qar Governorate.[4] Although Ur was once a coastal city near the mouth of the Euphrates on the Persian Gulf, the coastline has shifted and the city is now well inland, on the south bank of the Euphrates, 16 kilometres (9.9Â mi) from Nasiriyah in modern-day Iraq.[5]
Ural Mountains The Ural Mountains (Russian: Ура́льские го́ры, tr. Uralskiye gory; IPA: [ʊˈralʲskʲɪjə ˈgorɨ]; Bashkir: Урал тауҙары, Ural tauźarı), or simply the Urals, are a mountain range that runs approximately from north to south through western Russia, from the coast of the Arctic Ocean to the Ural River and northwestern Kazakhstan.[1] The mountain range forms part of the conventional boundary between the continents of Europe and Asia. Vaygach Island and the islands of Novaya Zemlya form a further continuation of the chain to the north into the Arctic Ocean.
