Eulmaš (Akkad)
The temple Eulmaš (also Eulmasch, Eulmas , Akkadian E-ul-maš ) was first built in Akkad as the Ishtar sanctuary by Sargon von Akkad and his grandson Naram-Sin in the 3rd millennium BC. Built in BC.
Kurigalzu renewed in the 2nd millennium BC The sanctuary as well as Asarhaddon and later his son Ashurbanipal around 652 BC. BC, but without having found the foundation capsules. The same fate befell Nebuchadnezzar II during the restoration, which lasted until 562 BC. Ruled.
Nabu-na'id was particularly meticulous in his search for the original charter. The Babylonian king was not granted immediate success in his search either: "I dug in the cesspools of Nebuchadnezzar II for 3 years, but I found nothing." But the Babylonian king still believed the promise of a dream face that he would find the founding capsule. Upon further investigation, a downpour exposed an extensive gully in which the temennu of Naram-Sin was actually discovered. So Nabu-na'id could erect the new building of Eulmaš "not a hand's breadth from the former sanctuary".
