Years according to the middle chronology (rounded) |
The term " New Sumerian Time " (also for short Neo-Sumerian ; middle chronology about 2164 to 2004 BC; short chronology about 2100 to 1940 BC) marks on the one hand a time stage of the Sumerian language and on the other hand in ancient oriental studies as a chronological term the period from the second dynasty of Lagaš to the end of the third dynasty of Ur .
In the past, the paraphrase “New Sumerian Era” was defined in relation to an assumed renaissance of Sumerian culture after the Akkad period . After revising the topic, this link has been rejected in Assyriology since the 1990s and is no longer understood in the previous sense, since southern Mesopotamia continued to be under Sumerian influence during the Akkad period . Since then, the term “ Ur-III-Period” is generally used in a simplified manner.
