or Uruk Ancient city, Mesopotamia. Located northwest of Ur on the Euphrates River, it was one of the greatest cities of Sumer and was enclosed by brickwork walls that, according to legend, were built by the mythical hero Gilgamesh. Excavations have traced successive cities that date from the prehistoric Ubaid period ( 5000 BC) to Parthian times (126 BC-AD 224), when in 70 BC an ancient school of learned scribes was still using cuneiform script. Urban life in what is known as the Erech-Jamdat Nasr period ( 3500-2900 BC) is more fully illustrated at Erech than at any other Mesopotamian city
{i} biblical name of Uruk; one of the cities in the kingdom of Nimrod (Biblical); city in Gondor located in the far north of the province of Lamedon (in the fictional universe of J. R. R. Tolkien)
