During the reign of the Middle Assyrian kings Tukultī-Ninurta I (1243–1207 BC), the location and origination of the Ištar temple at Assur were changed. That Middle Assyrian king moved the building south and east of its then-current incarnation (“Temple D”), but also rotated its orientation 90° clockwise. For the position of the relocated temple, see the OSM location of the Ištar temple of Tukultī-Ninurta I at Assur.
