Traces of Dūr-Šarrukīn’s city walls are still visible today. According to Sargon II’s own inscriptions, the inner and outer city walls had eight gates, two on each stretch of wall. Seven of those entrances have been excavated. Because there is no one-to-one correlation between Sargon’s inscriptions and available archaeological evidence, scholars have forwarded several proposals about the identifications of the eight gates recorded in inscriptions with the excavated gates and have posited various interpretations on the location and identification of the ‘missing,’ eighth city gate.
\r\nThe length of the wall of is recorded as 16,280 cubits: ŠÁR ŠÁR ŠÁR ŠÁR GÉŠ.U GÉŠ.U GÉŠ.U 1 UŠ 1½ NINDA 2 KÙŠ and ŠÁR ŠÁR ŠÁR ŠÁR GÉŠ.U GÉŠ.U GÉŠ.U 1 UŠ 3 qa-ni 2 KÙŠ. The number is reported to have been ni-bit MU-ia (literally “the saying/pronunciation of my name.” As Grant Frame (RINAP 2) has recently pointed out “various proposals have been made by scholars over the years to explain how this would work, none has been convincing, although … a connection between the sign ŠÁR and the first part of Sargon’s name (šarru) would seem likely.”
