Examples of use of Uruk
1. Lost and found Warka vase The 5,000–year–old limestone vase from the Sumerian city of Uruk is carved with scenes of priests and animals.
2. As for the identity of the invaders, the researchers point to debris that indicates if members of the Uruk culture of southern Mesopotamia weren‘t the ones attacking, they certainly swooped in immediately afterward and took over the city.
3. "The archetypal chieftain in Sumerian legend is Gilgamesh: the heroic hunter, the strong protector, not least significantly, the builder of the wall around Uruk," writes Lewis Mumford in "The City in History." That wall evolved into the medieval walls of Vienna, raised against the Turks, along with walls around cities from Avignon to Fez.
