GoKawiilHistorians credit Ur-Nammu with world's oldest surviving law code
Ur-Nammu founded Sumer's Third Dynasty of Ur around 2112 BCE, launching the Ur III period known as the Sumerian Renaissance. He is credited with composing the Code of Ur-Nammu, the oldest surviving legal code, and with commissioning the Great Ziggurat of Ur. He died in battle in 2094 BCE still fighting the Gutians, a conflict his son and successor Shulgi later resolved.
