Shur is probably another name for Ur, one of the main cities along the tigris and euphrates rivers. Ur had a lot of names, a bit like San Francisco (SanFran, Frisco, City of Angels, etc). Sometimes, it was the capitol city. But I know that from one of my art history courses (it was on architecture) not bible study. *shrug*
