Amar-Sin's reign is notable for his attempt at regenerating the ancient sites of Sumer. He apparently worked on the unfinished ziggurat at Eridu.Fact|date=February 2007 It has been suggested that this ziggurat was the origin of the story of the Tower of Babel.

Eridu was abandoned during his reign. Salinity problems had made agricultural pursuits in this region unprofitable.
