This gate has been tentatively identified as the Anu Gate (Laura Battini, Jamie Novotny, Beate Pongratz-Leisten), the Ištar Gate (Beate Pongratz-Leisten, Alexander Sollee), and the Mullissu 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 7 remains open to debate. Since one expects a grand, decorated entranceway to be associated with the goddess Ištar, it is unlikely that Gate 7 would have been dedicated to this important goddess and, thus, it is more likely to have been named after the god Anu (or the goddess Mullissu).
