Eanna temple

The Eanna Temple was a prominent religious complex in ancient Mesopotamia, located in the city of Uruk around 3200 BCE. Dedicated primarily to the goddess Inanna (Ishtar), it served as a center for worship, rituals, and administrative activities. The complex consisted of large, mud-brick structures, including a main temple (ziggurat) and surrounding buildings, reflecting the importance of religion and the goddess’s influence in daily life. Eanna was also a symbol of political and economic power, showcasing the city's sophistication and devotion to divine authority. It remains a significant archaeological site illustrating early urban religious practices.
