Mesopotamia is the cradle of civilization
Puabi (Akkadian: Pu-A-Bi, meaning "the word of my father"), also called Shubad, was a famous and important figure in the Sumerian city of Ur, during the First Dynasty of Ur (c. 2600 BC). She is often referred to as "The Queen" However, there is great controversy over it. However, several cylinder seals found in her tomb (the tomb bearing the number PG 800) in the Royal Cemetery at Ur,
She refers to her by the term "Nin" or "Erish", which is a Sumerian word used to address the queen or the queen.
The Puabi seal does not indicate a relationship between her and any king or husband, which may indicate that she ruled independently.

It has been said that she was the second wife of Mescalamduk. The fact that Puabi was herself an Akkadian Semitic and an important figure among the Sumerians indicates a high degree of cultural exchange and influence between the ancient Sumerians and their Semitic neighbors. Although not much is known about Puabi's life, the discovery of her tomb and the place where she died reveals important information and raises questions about Mesopotamian society and culture.
