介绍（中）	这块陶瓷砖是在公元前三千年和二千年初在美索不达米亚的宗教首都尼普尔挖掘时发现的，尼普尔是万神殿主神恩利尔的故乡。来自其他美索不达米亚城市的统治者试图通过维护、修复和有时重建他的神庙埃库尔来提升他们的王权并赢得这位神的青睐。寺庙的修复为统治者创造了将自己的铭文埋在墙壁内的机会，为后代留下了记录。砖上印有用苏美尔语书写的铭文。它命名你的三世时期统治者为你的纳姆（约公元前2112-2095年）。阿卡德帝国崩溃后（约公元前2350-2150年）王权四分五裂。乌尔-纳姆因美索不达米亚的统一而受到赞誉，这一成就被这位国王新来的"苏美尔和阿卡德国王"的称号所唤起。今天，乌尔-纳姆以其许多建筑工程而闻名，特别是在新的皇家首都乌尔。乌尔-纳穆乌尔的国王，苏美尔和阿卡德的国王，（是）建造恩利尔神庙的人（翻译改编自大都会艺术博物馆的楔形文字第一卷，第 116 期）
介绍（英）	This ceramic brick was found during excavations at Nippur, the religious capital of Mesopotamia in the third and early second millennia B.C. Nippur was home to Enlil, the chief god of the pantheon. Rulers from other Mesopotamian cities sought to promote their kingship and garner this god’s favor by maintaining, repairing, and at times rebuilding his temple, the Ekur. The repair of a temple created an opportunity for a ruler to bury his own inscription within the walls, leaving a record for future generations. The brick is stamped with an inscription written in the Sumerian language. It names the Ur III period ruler Ur-Nammu (ca. 2112-2095 B.C.). Royal power fragmented after the collapse of the Akkadian empire (ca. 2350-2150 B.C.). Ur-Nammu is credited for the reunification of Mesopotamia, an accomplishment evoked by the title "King of Sumer and Akkad", new to this king. Today, Ur-Nammu is known for his many building works, particularly at Ur, the new royal capital. Ur-Nammu the king of Ur, the king of Sumer and Akkad, (is) the one who built the temple of Enlil (translation adapted from Cuneiform Texts in the Metropolitan Museum of Art Vol. I, No. 116)
