Uruk Shrine List

On the model of Tintir 2, A List of Shrines and Gods in Erabriri, and A List of Shrines in Ešarra, the present text offers an enumeration of shrines related to the Eanna, the temple of the goddess Ištar at Uruk.

As in the other lists mentioned above, the organization of the text presents a first column with the Sumerian ceremonial name of the shrine on the left, and a second column with the name of its divine owner and other explanatory information on the right.
