Urnamman was a Sumerian warrior hero. Originally hailing from Lagash, he travelled widely and was hailed for his courage, compassion and inventiveness. It is said that he discovered the secret of felt making.[1]

Some of his exploits are detailed in a cuneiform slab discovered in Nippur. He is generally held to not have been a real person, but a myth.
