Lagash had escaped the turbulant years of Sargon and Naram-Sin…it was the “cult center” of Ninurta. As “Enlil’s Firmost Warrior”, Ninurta made sure…Lagash would be militarily proficient.

The resulting victories of Eannatum even impressed Inanna…and

         “because she loved Eannatum, kingship over Kish she gave him,

         in addition to the governship of Lagash…”

Eannatum became the LU.GAL (“Great Man”, “Mighty Man”) of Sumer.
