Join us on an archaeological adventure as we reveal the secrets of an ancient Sumerian city hidden beneath Iraq's desert. Led by archaeologist Leonard Woolley, a 1922 expedition embarked on a quest to uncover the forgotten treasures of Ur. After years of excavation, the team discovered the "gold trench," part of the vast burial ground now known as the Royal Cemetery of Ur. Unearthing over 1,850 tombs, they gained insight into the lives of ancient Sumerians. Despite looting and destruction, the cemetery, used for three centuries, retained its wonders. Among the remarkable finds were sixteen royal tombs, including the extraordinary PG-800 burial site of Queen Puabi. Adorned with exquisite jewels and surrounded by opulent offerings, her burial testified to her elevated status and power. Her unique cylinder seal hinted at her possible reign as an independent queen. Queen Puabi's opulent tomb astounded the world, showcasing the wealth and international connections of ancient Mesopotamia. Imported gold, silver, carnelian stones, and lapis-lazuli reflected Ur's trading hub status. The reconstruction of Queen Puabi's regal headdress, made of gold ribbons, precious beads, and lapis-lazuli flowers, presented a majestic image. Adorned with a beaded cloak, belt, earrings, rings, and bracelet, her jewelry weighed nearly six kilograms. Delicate lapis-lazuli pendants symbolized Ur's abundance and prosperity. The tomb also revealed maids and a male figure buried alongside Queen Puabi, intended to serve her in the afterlife. Elaborate funeral rituals emerged throughout the cemetery. The "Death Pit," containing sacrificed attendants, showcased the Sumerians' extraordinary measures to honor their deceased royalty. Courtiers, arranged for a funerary feast and were surrounded by food, drinks, and lyres, highlighting music's importance. Despite the mysteries surrounding their identities and the significance of the sacrifices, these ancient relics offer a glimpse into a vibrant society that once thrived in Ur's hallowed grounds. ++ Sources ++ L.
