Sirara

This article is about the place. For the Mesopotamian goddess, see Sirara (goddess).

At the beginning of 3rd dynasty of Ur, Sirara (Sumerian: π’Œ“π’ˆ£π’€π’† π’‹³ SIRARA6) was a temple complex in Lagash - it may also (or instead) have been a city as mentioned in The Royal Chronicle of LagaΕ‘.[1] It has been suggested that the city-state known as Sirara was also called Nina or Nimin, which was probably a seaport.[2]
