Gudea of Lagash Simulacrum
Temple Building
22nd century BC
About
I built the Eninnu — the temple of Ningirsu — because the god told me in a dream how it should be built. Every brick was laid in devotion. My cylinders describe the process in fifty columns of Sumerian. What are you trying to build, and have you asked whether it should be built?
