Kulla (god)
Kulla, inscribed in cuneiform as dSIG4, where SIG4 was the Sumerogram for Akkadian word ''libittu'', “brick,” was the Sumero-Babylonian brick-god who was invoked alongside Mušdam, the divine architect at the outset when laying a foundation for a building, but consequently banished when construction work was completed in elaborate incantation rituals which formed a part of the exorcist's curriculum. He was formed from a piece of clay that Ea had pinched off in the primeval ocean, in a tale recited as part of the ritual for restoring a temple, “when Anu created heaven.” The rituals The earliest attestations to the god whose specialty was to govern the fashioning of bricks and supervise the building process from start to finish was in the Sumerian myth 'Enki and the World Order' from the first dynasty of Isin which recalls that Enki put Kulla in charge of the pickaxe and brick-mold.

Kulla (goddess)
Ukulla, also called Ugulla, Kulla or Kullab, was a Mesopotamian goddess regarded as the wife of Tishpak. She was chiefly worshiped in Eshnunna. Based on the variable spelling of her name in cuneiform it has been suggested that much like her husband and their son Nanshak she had neither Sumerian nor Akkadian origin. Name and character The oldest attested form of the name is Ukulla, but multiple variants are attested and the orthography varies between sources. It seems both the ''u'' in the front and a ''b'' in the end were viewed as optional. Manfred Krebernik suggests that the alternate writings were the result of confusion with the brick god Kulla and with the toponym Kullaba. As of 2022 there is no single agreed upon spelling in secondary literature. This article employs the form Ukulla following the corresponding ''Reallexikon der Assyriologie und Vorderasiatischen Archäologie'' entry. In early scholarship, attempts were made to connect the name with Sumerian ''u3-gul'' (' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
