Attendant god Assyrian, about 810–800 BC From Nimrud, Temple of Nabu This divine attendant stood outside a doorway in the Temple of Nabu, god of writing. The inscription mentions Adad-nirari III (810–783 BC) and his powerful mother Sammuramat, the original Semiramis, whose legendary exploits were recorded by the Greeks. It ends by advising the reader to revere Nabu: “do not trust in another god”. #history #ancienthistory #archaeology #artifacts #mesopotamia | History Piece Shorts
