Shulgi and Ninlil's Barge is a Sumerian poem dated to the reign of Shulgi of Ur (2094 - circa 2046 BCE) celebrating the caulking of the barge of the goddess Ninlil, consort of the sky god Enlil, and the banquet held in the couple's honor by Shulgi, who is then blessed by Ninlil with the promise of a prosperous reign. #History #Sumer #ShulgiOfUr #Mesopotamia #Nippur #Poem #SumerianPoem #HistoryFact https://whe.to/ci/2-2176-en/
