Ash Shaţrah, Iraq

Bad-tibira

Bad-tibira was an ancient Sumerian city dating back to the Early Dynastic period, which appears among antediluvian cities in the Sumerian King List. In the earliest days of Akkadian language studies its name was mistakenly read as Dûr-gurgurri. Its location is believed to be at modern Tell al-Madineh, between Ash Shatrah and Tell as-Senkereh and 25 km southwest of ancient Girsu in southern Iraq.
