	Noah, the flood hero (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Hence, the flood hero was probably chief executive of Shuruppak during the end of the Jemdet Nasr period and the flood story began to circulate during the Early Dynastic I period that followed the flood.
		Shuruppak was then a capital city and a commercial center located on the Euphrates River.
		Although popular versions of the story have Noah being ridiculed by the townspeople, actually the elders of Shuruppak probably encouraged and supported building of the barge under control of their own leader Noah, because they may have envisioned that the barge would substantially increase their own personal wealth and the wealth of Shuruppak.

	Instructions of Shuruppak - www.GatewaysToBabylon.com
		In sumerian there was a work called The Instructions of Shuruppak, son of Ubar-Tutu, and consisting of sayings addressed to Ziusudra by his father, Shuruppak.
		Shuruppak appears in one manuscript of the Sumerian King List as an extra generation between Ubartutu and Ziusudra.
		In the other manuscripts and elsewhere these two men are father and son, and it has been suggested that the intruder might have arisen through an epithet of the father (man of Shuruppak) having been taken wrongly for a proper name.

		Similarly she sees the decline of Shuruppak in the later peiods as a result of a weakened economy caused by the shifting of the Euphrates to its western branch." (p.
		The flood level also speaks for the authenticity of the association with Shuruppak as the last antediluvian kingdom, since it is likely that the transition from the Jemdet-Nasr to the Early Dynastic period also marked the relative leading importance of Shuruppak at this time in Mesopotamian history.
		The message of the flood heroes and the eponymous sage Shuruppak is that the most lasting achievements of urban civilization are not buildings and walls, since they can be swept away and turned into ruins and fields; and not power, since the gods control all destiny, but knowledge and humility."

		The city of Shuruppak was identified as modern Tell Fara and when excavated a flood sediment was found dating to circa 2900 BCE.

		The strange description of the Shuruppak craft as being "roofed over like the Apsu," and of the dimensions of a huge cube, suggest to me that Enki/Ea's Apsu house in the midst of the abyss is being envisoned by the storyteller as a model for this unusual craft.

		The southern Mesopotamian cities where characterized by the great ziggurats. The temples and ritual monuments were on the high ground, and not often in the center of the city.
		At Shuruppak the temple-ziggurat was located at the periphery of the city, on the high ground (like Mormon Temples and Central American pyramids) serving as a visual focus.

		Throughout his lifetime, Noah had to face many personal trials and tribulations from the Sethites, the Sumerians and the harsh Euphrates Valley, during those ancient days, when giants roamed the earth.
		Fed up with their pitiful existence, Noah's brothers and his beloved people, the Sethites, turn their backs on God in exchange for slavery, under the Sumerian king and the abundant meat-pots, in the city of Shuruppak.

		At Farah (Shuruppak), however, a stratum of this sort occurs at the end of Early Dynastic I, and in this single case it could, as we shall now see, be cited ------ [emphasis added] (without much conviction) as supporting evidence for an inference from the Sumerian textual evidence.
		And here there is a connection of some importance with an episode in the Epic of Gilgamesh, when its hero made a journey to consult Utnapishtim, the Babylonian Noah, about the secret of eternal life.
		In another version of the Deluge story, however, its hero is given the alter- native name Ziusudra, and a surviving fragment of the text makes it clear that he was the son of Ubartutu.

	Shuruppak -- A Roguelike Game
		Unlike many other contemporary games, Shuruppak does not feature colourful, detailed graphical art, but uses text characters as symbols for world features, creatures and treasures.

		The flood remains at Kish and Shuruppak are hardly imposing.
		While attempts to dismiss the remains of the Ur flood as merely windblown sand are unsubstantiated and probably unsubstantiatable, the two "scientific" examinations of materials from the Ur flood stratum are, by modern standards, vague and inconclusive.
		The endemic character of flooding in southern Mesopotamia may well have been sufficient to generate the story about a supreme Flood, and the attachment of that story to a specific, long-passed, ill-known historical context may, in fact, be late and unreliable.

		At the same time it is not excluded that Larak was also the scene of the Deluge in our text, though, as we have noted, the position of Shuruppak at the close of the Sumerian list points to it as the more probable of the two.
		It may be added that we cannot yet read the name of the deity to whom Shuruppak was allotted, but as it is expressed by the city's name preceded by the divine determinative, the rendering "the God of Shuruppak" will meanwhile serve.
		The creation of small rivers and pools, which seems to have followed the foundation of the five sacred cities, is best explained on the assumption that they were intended for the supply of water to the cities and to the temples of their five patron gods.
