| Description |
English: Exhibit in the Oriental Institute Museum, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, USA. This work is old enough so that it is in the public domain. Photography was permitted in the museum without restriction. Translation: "...from the time when the brickwork of the temple Ebabbar was (first) constructed, (since), among the earlier kings, the sungod Shamash favored none of them (and consequently) no one built the wall of Sippar for him, / I, Samsuiluna, beloved of the gods Shamash and Aya, mighty king, king of Babylon, ... by the levy of the army of my land, in the course of that (same) year formed its bricks (and) raised high the wall of Sippar there like a great mountain. / I renovated the temple Ebabbar, raised high as heaven the top of the ziggurat, their lofty gigunnu temple, (and) brought the gods Shamash, Adad, and Aia into their shining dwelling amidst joy and rejoicing." |
