Eridu, the first city on Earth before the great flood, according to the Sumerian King List

According to the Sumerian King List Eridu was the first city in the World. The opening line reads:

“[nam]-lugal an-ta èd-dè-a-ba

[eri]duki nam-lugal-la”

“When kingship from heaven was lowered,

the kingship was in Eridu.”

Eridu (Coordinates: 30 ° 48’57.02 “N 45 ° 59’45.85” E) was an ancient city in southern Mesopotamia, 24 kilometers south of Ur in the current archaeological site of Tell Abu Shahrein. Eridu, also transliterated as Eridug, could mean “mighty place” or “guidance place” according to scholars who say this archaeological site is of great importance.
