This gate has been tentatively identified as the Bēlet-ilī Gate (Beate Pongratz-Leisten, Alexander Sollee), the Ea Gate (Laura Battini, Jamie Novotny), and the Ištar Gate (Andreas Fuchs). Because there is no one-to-one correlation between Sargon’s inscriptions and available archaeological evidence, the proposed identification of the ancient name of Khorsabad Gate 5 remains open to debate. Since one expects a plain, decorated entranceway to be associated with the god Ea, Gate 5 might have been dedicated to that deity; a decorated gate is expected for the goddess Ištar and, thus, unlikely that Gate 5 would have been named after that important goddess.
