BRAHMAN: THE DISCOVERY OF THE GOD OF ABRAHAM: M. M. NINAN
There indeed was a real place called Ur in the banks of Euprates. The great Ziggurat of ancient Ur
was built by King Ur-Nammu who ruled the area of ancient Ur around 2100 BC.

Archaeologists estimate that there were approximately 24,000 people living in the city of Ur during
the time of Abraham. The people of ancient Mesopotamia worshiped many gods, and the people of
Ur worshiped their chief god named Nanna, the moon-god. There were other temples dedicated to
other gods. The people of Ur lived in one of two main areas in the city: a very religious sacred
place(Priests), or the common district(common man). The people of ancient Ur were highly
advanced culture. The common district was filled with marketplaces, schools, libraries, and many of
the people were very wealthy. People had very nice homes with lush gardens and many
conveniences.
We have known the genealogy of Abraham through his half- sister wife Sarai (who became Sarah)
and her slave girl Hagar. They were certainly mesopotamians. This is essentially because it was
through these the Jewish people trace their lineage. Bible being a Jewish book gives emphasis on
this line. Sarai and Abraham were from the same loin and Isaac was the promised heir from the
same loins.
