  • In ancient Mesopotamia, women filled many roles that brought strength to their communities. Among these women were a few in the city of Ur, who held powerful positions as rulers and religious leaders. Watch as Penn Museum experts, William B. Hafford, Ph.D. and Jane Hickman, Ph.D. bring to light the stories of Queen Puabi and the Entu Priestesses.

      Much has changed since then. For one thing we don't sacrifice the servants of our leaders when they pass away like people did for Puabi. Also we have much more females in government then people of those times. In the Ancient times, women rulers were rare events that occurred every 100 years.

    An unintentional joke is the fact "powerful women of Ur" is by far the shortest ever video Penn have produced about the Sumerians.

      Emilee L.. All joking aside, they missed out the most important woman.
      Writing was either invented or perfected by a woman.
      I think her name was something like Nabiru".
      She was the sister of the mother of Gilgamesh.
      She is referred to as a goddess in later writings but started out as a person.
      I would have to look it up because I can't remember her name.
      I am a male chauvinist pig but she definitely sounds like a genuinely positive and big influence on history.

    Puabi was likely an Annunaki. Penn fails to mention she had an elongated skull. Also, the British museum, that has stashed Puabi's remains, has refused to test the DNA in those remains. These museums are the locked vaults of our history and the breeding grounds for the egotistical hunters of tenure.

    Why when it's a queen do you get into great detail about what she wore and how she did her hair? There are plenty of things to say about men who wore dresses and jewelry and how they wore their hair but the concentration is not the same. You should know that the Catholic Church before the Inquisition had a type of Inquisition against females because they wanted to keep them for breeding purposes only they went out in the 300 and also in the 500s and slaughtered any woman of prominence destroyed any record a prominent women especially Warriors
