Uruk was an ancient city of Sumer and later Babylonia, situated east of the present bed of the Euphrates river, on the dried-up, ancient channel of the Euphrates River, east of modern As-Samawah, Al-Muthann?, Iraq. The city was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of The Ahwar of Southern Iraq in 2016.
