11/6/2014 HIST101: Ancient Civilizations of the World | Saylor Academy Q: What was the “Sumerian Renaissance?” A: The “Sumerian Renaissance,” also known as the “Third Dynasty of Ur,” was a golden age in the Sumerian civilization (2100-2000 BC). This period marked a time of rebirth of Sumer, a renaissance of their previous greatness. At this time, Sumer not only became the preeminent military power in Mesopotamia, but it was a period when commerce was restored, canals were dug, city walls were rebuilt, and agriculture was revived. It also represented a golden age of art in Sumerian civilization, particularly noted for its powerful architecture, as seen in palaces, temples, and ziggurats. http://www.saylor.org/courses/hist101/?qas=1 1/1
