According to the Sumerian king list, Kuara was also the home of Dumuzid, the fisherman, legendary third king of Uruk .[1] The city's patron deity was Meslamtaea (Nergal).[2] In Sumerian mythology, Kuara was also considered the birthplace of the god Marduk (Asarluhi), Enki's son. The cults of Marduk and Ninehama were centered in Kuara.[3][4] History of archaeological researchThe location was excavated for a few days in 1855 by J. E. Taylor. He found a few inscribed bricks, and a single cuneiform tablet.[5][6] While working at Eridu for the British Museum in 1918, R. Campbell Thompson excavated there briefly.[7] In more modern times, Fuad Safar conducted soundings at Kuara.[8] Kuara and its environmentTell al-Lahm is located on the western bank of the mouth of the Euphrates, about {{convert|30|km}} southeast of Ur.[9] The site consists of two tells or settlement mounds, with some peripheral ridges, near a dry canal bed. Occupation historyKuara was established ca. 2500 BC, during the Sumerian Early Dynastic II period. It was a seaport to the Persian Gulf, and traded with the port of Dilmun.[10] In 709 BC, the Assyrian king Sargon II was trying to capture Marduk-apal-iddina II, who fled to Kuara, whereupon Sargon's army laid siege and destroyed the city.[11][12] Alluvial soil carried by the Euphrates continually extended the land farther into the Persian Gulf; thus the modern site is far from the sea, even though it was a sea port 4500 years ago.
