E-ddun-gi, temple to the deified king Dungi

E-hursang (House which is a hill) of Shulgi in Ur

 

Shulgi…Biblical contempt for a king who “prostituted himself” and “did that which was evil in the view of the Lord.”

It was Nannar himself who had arranged for the child to be conceived at Enlil’s shrine in Nippur, through a union between Ur-Nammu and Enlil’s high priestess, so that “a little Enlil…a child suitable for kingship and throne, shall be conceived.”

He embarked on the building (or re-building) of a temple for Ninurta in Nippur…declared Ur and Nippur to be “Brother Cities”. He then built a ship—naming it after Ninlil—and sailed to the “Land of Flying for Life”…He imagined himself as a second Gilgamesh. Landing at “The Place of the Ramp”, Shulgi built there an alter to Nannar…he reached the place called BAD.GAL.DINGIR “The Great Fortified Place of the Gods”…there Shulgi built an alter to the “God Who Judges”…he also built alters at the “Place of Bright Oracles” and “The Snow-covered Place.”

Shulgi returned to Sumer boasting he had learned four foreign languages…In return he was awarded with the titles “High Priest of Anu, Priest of Nannar.” Shulgi recorded the two ceremonies on cylinder seals.

 

Inanna…invited Shulgi to Erech (Uruk), making him “a man chosen for the vulva of Inanna.”...Shulgi’s own words.

        “With valiant Utu, a friend as a brother,

         I drank strong drink in the temple founded by Anu.

         My minstrels sang for me the seven songs of love.

         Inanna, the queen, the vulva of heaven and earth,

         was by my side, banqueting in the temple…”

 

Shulgi reclaimed the title “King of the Four Regions…Hero, King of Ur, Ruler of the Four Regions….favorite of the God Who Judges, beloved by Inanna, occupier of Dur-Ilu.” In the year 2049 B.C. Shulgi ordered the building of “The Wall of the West” to protect Mesopotamia…He stayed on the throne one more shaky year. Shulgi continued to proclaim himself “a cherished of Nannar,” he was no longer a “chosen” of Anu and Enlil.

In their recorded view

        “the divine regulations he did not carry out, his righteousness he dirtied…”

Therefore, they declared for him the “death of a sinner.” The year was 2048 B.C. Shulgi’s successor on the throne of Ur was his son Amar-Sin.

Amar-Sin set sail to the same “Place of the Ramp” where Shulgi had gone. But reaching the “Land of Flying for Life” he got no further:he died of a scorpion’s (or snake’s) bite…He was replaced by his brother Shu-Sin.

 

King Shulgi (c. 2100 BC) on the future of Sumerian literature.

         “Now, I swear by the sun god Utu on this very day —

and my younger brothers shall be witness of it in foreign lands

where the sons of Sumer are not known,

where people do not have the use of paved roads,

where they have no access to the written word —

that I, the firstborn son, am a fashioner of words, a composer of songs,

a composer of words, and that they will recite my songs as heavenly writings,

 and that they will bow down before my words……”

 

Šulgi, the son of Ur-Nammu, provided abundant food for Eridu,

which is on the seashore.

But he had criminal tendencies and the property of Esagila and Babylon

he took away as booty.

Bêl (Marduk) caused […] to consume his body and killed him…”
