Though the Euphrates presently runs about ten miles [16 km] east of the former site of Ur, evidence indicates that in ancient times the river ran just west of the city.
Mūsdienās Eifrata tek aptuveni 16 kilometrus uz austrumiem no vietas, kur kādreiz atradās Ūra, bet fakti liecina, ka senatnē upe tecēja tieši gar pilsētu rietumos no tās.
