Eanna
E-anna (Sumerian: 𒂍𒀭𒈾 É-AN.NA, house of heavens) was an ancient Sumerian temple in Uruk. Considered "the residence of Inanna" and Anu, it is mentioned several times in the Epic of Gilgamesh, and elsewhere.[1] The evolution of the gods to whom the temple was dedicated is the subject of scholarly study.[1]
The Epic of Gilgamesh
From Tablet One:[2]
He carved on a stone stela all of his toils,
and built the wall of Uruk-Haven,
the wall of the sacred Eanna Temple, the holy sanctuary.
gollark: Write an abstractionoid™ for it.
gollark: I generally go for laziness and make the grid loop around.
gollark: The only real issue is boundary conditions.
gollark: Oh. Just… iterate over all the adjacent cells and add them?
gollark: Confusing how?
