We may gather from this that he was either an oppressor of his people, like some of the Pyramid Kings in Egypt, or else a conqueror, who thus employed the numerous captives carried off in his expeditions.
Perhaps the latter is the more probable supposition; for the builders of the great fabrics in Babylonia and Chaldaea do not seem to have left behind them any character of oppressiveness, such as attaches commonly to those monarchs who have ground down their own people by servile labor.
The great buildings of Urukh appear to have been all designed for temples.

They are carefully placed with their angles facing the cardinal points, and are dedicated to the Sun, the Moon, to Belus (Bel-Nimrod), or to Beltis.

The temple at Mugheir was built in honor of the Moon-god, Sin or Hiuki, who was the tutelary deity of the city.

The Warka temple was dedicated to Beltis.

At Calneh or Nipur, Urukh erected two temples, one to Beltis and one to Belus.
