Kuara

Dhi Qar Governorate, Iraq · built -2499

Tell al-Lahm (also Tell el-Lahm or Tell el-Lehem or Tell Al-Laham) is an archaeological site in Dhi Qar Governorate (Iraq). It is 32 km (20 mi) southeast of the site of ancient Ur. Its ancient name is not known with certainty, with Kuara, Kisig, and Dur-Iakin having been proposed. Durum was also suggested but has since been discounted. Today the Euphrates River is 18 km (11 mi) away, but in antiquity, it ran by the site (or a branch of it did), continuing to flow there until the Muslim Era.
