(gods in blue …mixed-breed demigods in teal...)

According to Gudea’s inscriptions, “the Lord of Girsu ”appeared unto him in a vision, standing beside his “Divine Black Bird”. The god expressed to him the wish that a new E.NINNU (“House of Fifty”)–also Ninurta’s numerical rank, be built by Gudea.

Gudea was given two sets of divine instructions: one from a goddess who in one hand

         “held the tablet of the favorable star of heavens…”

and with the other

         “held a holy stylus…”

with which she indicated to Gudea “the favorable planet” in whose direction the temple should be oriented.

The other set of instructions came from a god that Gudea did not recognize…Ningishzidda. He handed to Gudea a tablet made of precious stone

         “the plan of a temple it contained…”

Ningishzidda...knew how to secure the foundations of the temples; he was

         “the great god who held the plans…”

         “a god called forth from obscurity in Gudea’s time,…”

only to become a “phantom god” and a mere memory in later (Babylonian and Assyrian) times.
