You are correct. But the whole thing is a tomb, buried statues and all.
Amazing photograph of when statues were first uncovered.

Well, it's not clear to me at this point that there's going to be that many future generations.

> So did it thrive in pre-Akkadian Sumer or during?
Both. Also, the Akkadians were thoroughly a part of Sumer long before Sargon, and the first bilingual documents date a few centuries before him as well.
Incidentally, Ningirsu, the tutelary deity of Girsu, had a talking mace called Shar-ur, meaning "Smasher of thousands". :D Not related to anything, just think it's great.

So did it thrive in pre-Akkadian Sumer or during? Akkadian clay tablet has been found.

Time Team was responsible for something crazy like 25% or 50% of British archeology while it was under production. It being cancelled was actually quite a blow to British archeology.

They never will. I guarantee you it has been grave robbed and they’ll keep it undug to prevent knowledge of that fact.
