The earliest known occupations at Ur city date to the Ubaid period of the late 6th millennium BC. Ur reached its maximum size during the Early Dynastic Period of the early 3rd millennium BC when it was one of the most important capitals of the Sumerian civilization.
Ur continued as a minor capital for Sumer and succeeding civilizations, but during the 4th century BC, the Euphrates changed course, and the city was abandoned.
