Kuara, Ancient Sumerian archaeological site in Dhi Qar Province, Iraq.
The Kuara archaeological site consists of two mounds and peripheral ridges positioned near a dry canal bed on the western bank of the Euphrates River.
Established around 2500 BCE during the Early Dynastic II period, Kuara functioned as a seaport connecting Mesopotamian trade routes to the Persian Gulf.
The archaeological site holds religious significance as the birthplace of Marduk and maintained temples dedicated to both Marduk and the deity Ninehama.
Located 30 kilometers southeast of Ur, the site underwent initial excavations in 1855, revealing inscribed bricks and cuneiform tablets for archaeological study.
The ancient port city now stands inland due to centuries of alluvial deposits from the Euphrates River altering the regional landscape.
