Eanna

Eanna was an important religious and administrative area in ancient Mesopotamia, specifically in the city of Uruk around 3200 BCE. It served as a sacred precinct dedicated mainly to the goddess Inanna (also known as Ishtar), and included temples, shrines, and spaces for religious ceremonies. Eanna was also a center for economic activities, with its temples acting as stores for grains, textiles, and other goods. This combination of worship and commerce made Eanna a vital part of Uruk's social and spiritual life, reflecting the interconnectedness of religion and governance in early Mesopotamian civilization.
