Temple of Enki

The Temple of Enki is an ancient Sumerian religious site dedicated to Enki, the god of wisdom, water, and creation. Located in ancient Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq), it served as a place for worship and rituals that honored Enki’s role in sustaining life and knowledge. Architecturally, it featured impressive mud-brick construction with courtyards and ziggurats. The temple was central to community spiritual life and reflected the importance of water and wisdom in Sumerian culture. Today, it provides insight into early civilization’s religious practices and their relationship with natural elements.
