Tummal Inscription

 The Tummal Inscription , one of the Babylonian Chronicles, is a writing of ancient Sumer from the time of the ruler Ishbi-Erra.[1] The writing lists the names of the rulers that built the temples dedicated to Enlil within Nippur[2] and temples of Ninlil in Tummal, [1][3] amongst whom were the king of Kish, Enmebaragesi and his heir Agga.[4]

"Enmebaragesi,
The king in this very city (that is Nippur),
built the House of Enlil,
Agga the son of Enmebaragesi,
made the Tummal pre-eminent.
Then the Tummal fell into ruins for the first time.
Meš-Ane-pada built the Bur-šušua in Enlil's temple.
Meš-ki-aĝ-nuna, son of Meš-Ane-pada,
made the Tummal flourish and brought Ninlil into the Tummal.

The chronicle was written by two persons from Nippur and, most likely, Ur.[7][8][9] A number of religious analyses of the inscriptions find evidence within the text for a claim of divine intervention.[10]

The inscription was useful in the understanding of the archaeology and history of Gilgamesh.
