Although many of his views are open to question, it is indisputable that the Ugaritic and other Northwest Semitic texts have revolutionized our understanding of the Bible. One matter in which this is certainly the case is the subject of this paper, Asherah.' Until the discovery of the Ugaritic texts in 1929 and subsequent years it was common for scholars to deny the very existence of the goddess Asherah, whether in or outside the Bible, and many of those who did accept her existence wrongly equated her with Astarte.

  • Les Tombes Royales D'ur
    Les tombes royales d'Ur Lorsque l'archéologue britannique Léonard Woolley découvre, en 1927, ce qu'il appela les « tombes royales d'Ur », en basse Mésopotamie, il est conscient d'avoir mis au jour un ensemble exceptionnel qui reste encore aujourd'hui une source de documentation fondamentale sur la période des dynasties archaïques. Situation de la ville d'Ur Historique des fouilles et de la découverte d'Ur Description et histoire de la cité Le cimetière d'Ur Un mobiliers luxueux et un rite funéraire unique L'architecture des tombes les plus importantes Le poignard d'Akalamdug La perruque d'apparat de Meskalamdug La tombe de la reine Puabi L'étendard d'Ur Conclusion Ur, les tombes royales 1 Situation de la ville d'Ur Ur (ou Our), une des grandes cités-États du pays de Sumer, se trouve dans la plaine alluviale de basse Mésopotamie qui a vu naître il y a plus de 5000 an la première civilisation urbaine et l'écriture. À cette époque, les eaux du Golfe Persique remontaient à plus de 200 km à l'intérieur des terres. Ur en « Chaldée » est également un nom mentionné dans la bible : Terah engendra Abram, Nahor et Aram […] Haran mourut en présence de son père Terah dans son pays natal, Ur des chaldéens […] Terah prit son fils Abram, son petit-fils Lot et sa bru Saraï […] Il les fit sortir d'Ur des chaldéens pour aller au pays de canaan […] Ur, les tombes royales 2 Historique des fouilles et de la découverte d'Ur À partir d'inscriptions que Taylor y avait trouvées, le site a été identifié par Henry Rawlinson comme étant la cité antique d'Ur, rapidement perçue comme étant « Ur de Chaldée », lieu d'origine d'Abraham selon la Bible.

  • The Lagash-Umma Border Conflict 9
    CHAPTER I Introduction: Early Civilization and Political Organization in Babylonia' The earliest large urban agglomoration in Mesopotamia was the city known as Uruk in later texts. There, around 3000 B.C., certain distinctive features of historic Mesopotamian civilization emerged: the cylinder seal, a system of writing that soon became cuneiform, a repertoire of religious symbolism, and various artistic and architectural motifs and conven- tions.' Another feature of Mesopotamian civilization in the early historic periods, the con- stellation of more or less independent city-states resistant to the establishment of a strong central political force, was probably characteristic of this proto-historic period as well. Uruk, by virtue of its size, must have played a dominant role in southern Babylonia, and the city of Kish probably played a similar role in the north. From the period that archaeologists call Early Dynastic I1 (ED 11), beginning about 2700 B.c.,~the appearance of walls around Babylonian cities suggests that inter-city warfare had become institutionalized. The earliest royal inscriptions, which date to this period, belong to kings of Kish, a northern Babylonian city, but were found in the Diyala region, at Nippur, at Adab and at Girsu. Those at Adab and Girsu are from the later part of ED I1 and are in the name of Mesalim, king of Kish, accompanied by the names of the respective local ruler^.^ The king of Kish thus exercised hegemony far beyond the walls of his own city, and the memory of this particular king survived in native historical traditions for centuries: the Lagash-Umma border was represented in the inscriptions from Lagash as having been determined by the god Enlil, but actually drawn by Mesalim, king of Kish (IV.1).

Evenrually hierarchy would prevail- CHAPTER 2 Managemenr of food sources seems ro have been responsible for rhis, with excess production, which en be stored and sold or traded, providing accumulared wealch and power for some. Religion may have offered an ideological justification For such inequaliry. These periods were Early Sumerian cities marked in addi¡ion by innovations in technology (wheelmade pottery, sheer meral), rrans- ponarion (boats wirh sails), and agriculture (tree crops). Trade neworks conrinued, as rhe broad distribution of Hdaf and Ubaid pottery indicates, from Medirerrmean Turkey to Inn.

The socio-economic developmenr of these towns and villages is marked by the gradual appearance ofthe ten criteria proposed by Childe as a mark of rhe rrue ciry.
