The life and death of Ur-Namma is composed of selections from the works of Babylonian literature listed below. These were edited to eliminate some (but not all) of the repetition that is typical of Babylonian literature. They were then strung together to make a cohesive whole, to which I added the least amount of explanatory comment. About 90% of the text is direct quotes from the cited works, which I changed to first-person. It is the first complete 'biography' of Ur-Namma available on the Internet. Ur-Namma in the Netherworld is my own composition.
