Lugalbanda called Amraphel
Lugalbanda in the city of Kish
The first city which Nimrod succeeded in building was Erech. The government of Cush called Lugalbanda and Nimrod extended over this city as well as over Kish, and its history is told in the surprising annals of the First Dynasty of Uruk or Erech.
From the "Sumerian King List", published by , and accessible in Pritchard's often-quoted work, the first Dynasty of Uruk may be summarized as follows:
Sumerian Names of Rulers (some in fragmentary form) | Lengths of Reigns in King List | Notations in King List |
Mes-kiag-gasher |
325 (in one text read as 32(4), see p. 85 of T. Jacobsen's "Sumerian King List".)

the death of Asshur in 1906 (see German history in vol. II of the "Compendium") and his becoming a head of household in 2326, when age 40 (assuming he is a twin of Arphaxad who was born in 2366).
The First Dynasty of Uruk, beginning with Cush (Lugal-banda).
Though these names may, at first sight, be meaningless, five of the rulers are mentioned by other names in the Bible and a sixth -- Gilgamesh -- has already been alluded to in Egyptian history in this Compendium.
To break down this list one must commence from the known facts. Dumu-zi is a variant spelling of Tammuz, a Mesopotamian name of Nimrod. Nimrod succeeded his father Cush in Babylonia after a 60-year reign. The 60 year reign of Cush has been established as 2254-2194 (see the Egyptian history of Dynasty I of Thinis). The 100 years assigned to Nimrod are, like the records of Egypt, based upon the Era of Nimrod to the coming of his successor. Though Nimrod was executed after a reign of 27 years, his Era continued to year 100, and is to be dated 2194-2094.
