From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The second dynasty of Uruk (abbreviated Uruk II) was a dynasty of rulers from the city of Uruk who reign: c. 2550 – c. 2154 BCE. Uruk II is part of the Early Dynastic III period (c. 2600 – c. 2350 BCE) of ancient Mesopotamia. It was preceded by the dynasty of Hamazi on the Sumerian King List (SKL). Only three (out of a total of nine up to fourteen) of the rulers from the second dynasty of Uruk are mentioned on the SKL. Likewise on the SKL: the second dynasty of Uruk was succeeded by a second dynasty from Ur; however, the once supposed second dynasty of Ur may have never existed.
