In the time of the Middle Assyrian king Aššur-rēša-iši I (1132–1115 BC), approximately one century later than Tukultī-Ninurta I (1243–1207 BC), the Ištar-Aššurītu temple was moved again. That Middle Assyrian king constructed the new building east of the sites of the earlier, “archaic” temples (“Temples “H–D”). Unlike Tukultī-Ninurta I, Aššur-rēša-iši did not record in his inscriptions that he had had the temple of Ištar building in a new location. That holy building generally remained the principal place of worship for the Assyrian Ištar at Assur until 614 BC, when the city was destroyed by the Medes. For the positions of the earlier temples, see the OSM location of the Ištar Temples H–D at Assur and the OSM location of the Ištar temple of Tukultī-Ninurta I at Assur.
