At first glance, Tenino might seem like your average small town, but what you may not know is that pieces of this town can be found all over North America. Between 1889 and the 1930s, multiple quarries in Tenino produced sandstone for construction all along the west coast.

Larsa (Sumerian: ššš , romanized: UD.UNUGKI, read Larsamki), also referred to as Larancha/Laranchon (Gk. ĪαĻαγĻĻν) by Berossos and connected with the biblical Ellasar, was an important city-state of ancient Sumer, the center of the cult of the sun god Utu with his temple E-babbar. It lies some 25 km (16 mi) southeast of Uruk in Iraq’s Dhi Qar Governorate, near the east bank of the Shatt-en-Nil canal at the site of the modern settlement Tell as-Senkereh or Sankarah.
