Shulgi of Ur and the Neo Sumerian Empire

This episode continues our study of the Neo-Sumerian Empire with one of its most famous kings, Shulgi of Ur. Shulgi is not only one of the longest reigning kings of the ancient world, but also one of the most prolific in terms of his achievements. What began as the "Sumerian Renaissance" with Ur-Nammu continued and you could say, was perfected under Shulgi. He brought Sumerian culture and influence to its height not only in Sumer, but across the ancient Near East. However, all good things must come to an end, Shulgi's Neo-Sumerian Empire being no different. His sons and successors were not able to hold onto all he'd created with his last descendant, Ibbi-Sin, having to pay the ultimate price.
