Before Homer and before the Bible, there was another. Her name was forgotten for thousands of years until Sir Leonard Woolley found her name and title at Ur. Daughter of Sargon the Great, she held power and authority as the head priestess to the Moon god Nanna. Virginia Wolfe is credited with stating that for most of history, anonymous was a woman. Yet today, a name rises from one of the cradles of civilization, a priestess and poet whose verses echo through time. Her words and legacy are preserved on clay from almost 4000 years ago. She cements her position in history that almost forgot her, she is Enheduanna.-Stay curiousWant more Dirt Diaries?Join patreon with all your history-loving friends!patreon.com/TheDirtDiariesTravel with me, my socials, and more!https://beacons.ai/dirtdiaries.tenn
