		The last of these, Urukagina, was known for his judicial, social, and economic reforms, and his may well be the first legal code known to history.

		The pyramids of Egypt were still being built as the scribe’s fingers molded and impressed this cone with the timeless marks of his cuneus.
		Entemena is one of a handful of great Sumerian kings based in Lagash, located in the southern plain between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.
		On the offhand that the ‘original’ object was an actual golden nail, I examined the Entemena cone to see if it contained a golden nail embedded in the clay, since clay was used to contain other objects, much like an envelope is used today.

		But though their chronological order is certain, the length of their reigns is unknown, and their dates can only be approximately ascertained, and even these approximate and relative dates depend entirely on the date of Shar-GÃ¢ni-sharri.
		Thus a certain Mesilim, king of Kish, whose in scribed mace-head was discovered at TellÃ´ (Lagash),1 informs us that he had dedicated the same to the god Ningirsu, during the palesiate of Lugal-shar-engur at Lagash, and that he had further restored the temple of this same god.
		If that be the case, the mace-head of this ruler contains evidence that the early Sumerian city of Lagash was at one time under the domination of Semites, and conclusively proves thatâ”so far as documentary evidence is con cernedâ”Sumerians and Semites existed side by side in Babylonia from the earliest period of Mesopotamian civilization.

		As En-anna-turn has the title only of highpriest, it is probable that he acknowledged Ur-lumma of Gis-ukh as his suzerain.
		Gis-ukh was subdued and a priest named Illi was made its governor.
		The eighth successor of TJr-Ninã was Uru-duggina, who was overthrown and his city captured by Lugal-zaggisi, the highpriest of Gis-ukh.

		The reliefs are in two flat planes, the edges of the figures rounded and the details incised with no attempt at modelling; technically therefore they linked up with the limestone-and-mosaic friezes of the al 'Ubaid temple and are much inferior to the shell-and-mosaic frieze figures of the same building.
		The Early Dynastic period has produced few hard-stone statues; the Kur-lil figure already mentioned, another seated figure from al 'Ubaid, and a standing figure, headless, of King Entemena of Lagash, found at Ur, are the principal ones, of which the last is the most interesting.
		A group of twelve statues in 'Mosul marble' found together in a cache under the floor of a Tell Asmar temple, together with other figures from the same site and from Khafaje, a neighbouring town, illustrates if not the beginning at least an early stage in the history of northern sculpture.

		The same bad judgment was made about the stone torso, in princely robes, of a regional ruler named Entemena from 4,800 years ago.
		Another of the artifacts, a small bronze chariot in the form of a walled city with towers, 2,800 years old, was left in the Assyrian-Babylonian Hall to be taken by the thieves.

		Nothing can be better than two seal-cylinders that have come down to us from the age of Sargon of Akkad.
		No remarkable specimens of the metallurgic art of an early period have been found, apart perhaps from the silver vase of Entemena, but at a later epoch great excellence was attained in the manufacture of such jewellery as ear-rings and bracelets of gold.
		Copper, too, was worked with skill; indeed, it is possible that Babylonia was the original home of copper-working, which spread westward with the civilization to which it belonged.

		While other texts were l iterary works or epic poems whose themes were historical events, the inscriptions by Entemena were straight prose, written solely as a factual record of history.

		Eventually, the ensi of Umma liberated himself from povincial fixation with the Lagash boundary by concluding a nonaggression pact with Entemena (2404-2375 BEC) and establishing a kind of union over all Sumer.

		In one inscription, Entemena of Lagash boasts of having "allowed the sons of Uruk, Larsa, and Bad-tibira to return to their mothers" and of having "restored them into the hands" of the respective city god or goddess.
		Read in the light of similar but more explicit statements of later date, this laconic formula represents the oldest known evidence of the fact that the ruler occasionally endeavoured to mitigate social injustices by means of a decree.
