E-dbau, temple to the goddess Bau in Lagash
E-dam, temple built by Ur-Nanshe in Lagash
E-dim-gal-abzu temple in Lagash
E-ninnu (House of 50), temple to Ningirsu in Lagash
E-a-mer, the ziggurat of E-ninnu in Lagash
8th city built on Earth. Lagash, now called Telloh by the natives, was first excavated by a Frenchman in 1877. The 650 year dynasty in Lagash started in 2900 B.C.
One of the world’s earliest known poems, 3800 years old, describes the destruction of Lagash:
“My soul sighs in anguish for the city and its precious things;
My soul sighs in anguish for Lagash and its precious things.
The children are in distress in holy Lagash
Because the invader has pressed into the splendid shrine
And stolen away the Exalted Queen from her temple!
O Lady of my desolated city, when will you return?…”
According to “The Lost Book of Enki”:
“On Earth more heroes were arriving,
some to the Edin were assigned, some in the Abzu tasks were given.
Larsa and Lagash by Enlil were constructed…”
Lagash had escaped the turbulent 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”) of Sumer.
Ur-Bau, the viceroy of Lagash at the time of the Naram-Sin upheavals. That he was instructed by Ninurta to reinforce the walls of the Girsu and strengthen the enclosure of the Imdugud aircraft. Ur-Bau
“compacted the soil to be as stone…fired clay to be as metal;…”
and at the Imdugud’s platform
“replace the old soil with a new foundation…”
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.
The nuclear attack by Nergal & Ninurta:
In Lagash,
“mother Bau wept bitterly for her holy temple, for her city…”
Though Ninurta was gone, his spouse could not force herself to leave. Lingering behind, “O my city, O my city,” she kept crying; the delay almost cost her her life:
“On that day, the lady–the storm caught up with her;
Bau, as if she were mortal–the storm caught up with her…”
