Urclass=notpageimage| Location of Ur, in Western Asia, modern Iraq.
The First Dynasty of Ur was a 26th century-25th century BCE dynasty of ruler of the city of Ur in ancient Sumer. It is part of the Early Dynastic period III of the History of Mesopotamia.
Rulers
According to the Sumerian King List, there were four kings in this dynasty: Mes-Anepada, Mes-kiagnun, Elulu, and Balulu. Two other kings earlier than Mes-Anepada are known from other sources, namely Mes-kalam-du and A-Kalam-du. It would seem that Mes-Anepada was the son of Mes-kalam-du, according to the inscription found on a bead in Mari, and Mes-kalam-du was the founder of the dynasty.
The First Dynasty of Ur had a lot of influence over the area of Sumer.
