# Urukagina

> Uru-ka-gina, Uru-inim-gina, Eri-enim-ge-na, or Iri-ka-gina ruled in the 24th century BC as King of the city-states of Lagash and Girsu in Mesopotamia, and was the last ruler of the 1st Dynasty of Lagash. He assumed the kingship, claiming to be divinely appointed, following the reign of his predecessor Lugalanda. It is generally thought that Lugalanda lived on for 4 or 5 years after the ascension of Urukagina with the title "ensi-gal". The wife of Urukagina was named Sagsag, and a statue of her in the temple of Baba in Lagash was still being venerated centuries later in the
Ur III dynasty. When Baranamtarra, the wife of 
Lugalanda, died in the 2nd year of Urukagina's reign, Sagsag was responsible
for the funeral and repeated memorial rites. The
funeral included "177 slave-girls, 92 lamentation singers, and 48 ‘wives of elders (?)’, who participated on two consecutive days at the ‘place of mourning’ (ki.ḫul)".
