Baffling information about Mesopotamian deities
edit"Gula, a forerunner of the Sumerian fertility goddess Ishtar"? Has the author of this sentence read a single book about Mesopotamian mythology written over the course of last five decades or so? Gula only appears in the Ur III period, Sumerian Inanna is attested for as long as writing and AKKADIAN Ishtar since the pre-Sargonic period, I am not sure how this claim even works chronologically, putting the fact these are completely separate goddesses aside. I also do not think there is much evidence for association between Gula and any waterfowl - Nanshe, sure; Ninimma and Ningal, maybe; but Gula? Also, "fertility" goddess? Surgeries are "fertility" now? Does "fertility goddess" just mean "happens to be female"? HaniwaEnthusiast (talk) 10:34, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
