Image description: Ur-Engur inspecting the Temple of the Moon-God in Course of Construction. Ur-Engur, the founder of the Dynasty of Ur, entirely rebuilt the famous temple of the Moon-god in his city. His period was marked by a great architectural movement in Babylonia, due to the employment of a smaller brick, which was easier to handle than that used by his predecessors. Work on the temple is in full progress, and the chief architect is explaining details of construction to the King. Illustration for Hutchinson's History of the Nations (Hutchinson, c.1920).
