Golden helmet of Meskalamdug, possible founder of the First Dynasty of Ur.

The First Dynasty of Ur was a 26th century BCE dynasty of ruler of the city of Ur. 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.
