Shulgi or Shulgi (also read Dongi in Sumerian) is the second king of the Third Dynasty of Ur after his father, Urunmu, the legislator of the first law in Mesopotamia. His rule lasted for 48 years (1982-2029 BC). He was the one who completed the construction of the large Ziggurat of Ur after his father, Urunmu, was killed after one of the battles with the Kutians.
Shulgi is the son of Urunmu, according to the Sumerian kings list. Shulgi continued his father’s approach in fighting the Kutites. He also completed the construction of the Ziggurat of Ur, and also built temples. There are sources that attribute the construction of the temple of the god Isakila in Babylon to King Shulgi. He also built a monastery city after the Kutites were expelled from it. He also established several cities, villages, and streets, and he is also credited with being the first to build rest areas or cafes on the roads for rest.
