Abraham was born there. I was just there last summer, very interesting place. Talil air base is right next to the ruins and the Ziggurat- a pyramid type structure which is the tomb of some Babylonian king. Only a small part of the city has been excavated, maybe someone will excavate the rest once Iraq settles down a little.

Ur is believed by many to be the birthplace of the prophet Abraham.
