Mullissu-mukannišat-Ninua

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mullissu-mukannišat-Ninua was the wife of the Assyrian king Aššur-nâṣir-apli II (ruled from 883 to 859 BC) and the mother of his successor Šulmanu-ašared III. She herself was the daughter of the stewardess ( rab šaqe ) Aššur-nirka-da-ini , who had served under Aššur-nâṣir-apli II. Mullissu-mukannišat-Ninua is known from her burial chamber (grave III) in Nimrud , in which a plaque with a curse against potential grave robbers was found. The grave was found to be robbed, but still contained numerous skeletons that prove subsequent burials. The identification of her body was therefore not possible.
