Who was Sagburu of Eres? Sources state that Sagburu, Oracle of Nuska, aided King Enmerkar of Uruk (c. 3100 BC), to defeat his arch-nemesis, the king of Aratta, in Enmerkar and Ensukesdana.
Enmerkar was an ancient Sumerian ruler to whom the construction of the city of Uruk and a 420-year reign was attributed.
He is remembered as the founder and first king of Uruk. Uruk was ultimately annexed by the Akkadian Empire.
Sargon of Akkad (r. 2334-2279 BC) was the first ruler of the Akkadian Empire. He was the father of Enheduanna.
The Levant was home to some of the oldest civilizations, and it has been ruled by nearly all the dominant powers of biblical history, including the Akkadians, the Amorites, the Mitanni, the Hittites, the Arameans, the Assyrians, the Babylonians, the Persians, the Seleucids, the Parthians, and the Romans. Its history intersects with biblical history beginning with Abraham and continuing all the way to the apostle Paul.
Ur of the Chaldeans, is mentioned in the Bible as the birthplace of Abraham, the patriarch of the Israelites and the Ishmaelites.
King Amar-Sin may have been king at the time of Abraham. He is otherwise known to have campaigned against Elamite rulers such as Arwilukpi of Marhashi, and the Ur Empire under his reign extended as far as the northern provinces of Lullubi and Hamazi, with their own governors. He also ruled over Ashur through the Akkadian governor Zariqum, as confirmed by his monumental inscription.
