Question

Explain the importance of the city of Eridu in Sumerian culture. What name was often given to the city?

Answer 1

Eridu was an ancient Sumerian city located in what is now modern-day Iraq. It was one of the oldest cities in the world, and was considered to be the first city in Sumer. Eridu was an important religious center for the Sumerians, and was often referred to as the "Sacred City" or the "Holy City". It was believed to be the home of the god Enki, and was the site of the first temple dedicated to him. Eridu was also the site of the first ziggurat, a stepped pyramid-like structure used for religious ceremonies. The city was an important center of trade and commerce, and was a major hub for the Sumerian civilization. Eridu was also the birthplace of writing, and the first written records were found in the city.

Answer 2

The city of Eridu features prominently in Sumerian mythology, not only as the first city and home of the gods, but as the locale to which the goddess Innana traveled in order to receive the gifts of civilization which she then bestowed upon humanity from her home city of Uruk.
