Dilbat

Dilbat was an ancient Sumerian city located in southern Mesopotamia, around modern-day Iraq. It thrived during the early Bronze Age and was an important religious and economic center. The city was dedicated to the goddess Nanshe, associated with water, marine life, and fertility. Archaeological excavations have uncovered temples, administrative tablets, and artifacts revealing its role in trade, religious practices, and governance. Dilbat's historical significance lies in its contributions to the development of Mesopotamian culture and its connections to other prominent city-states of the time.
