According to a text that might have been drawn up as an aide-memoire for Nebuchadnezzar II, the Babylonian king who completed the outer eastern wall of Babylon, the Šūhi Canal Gate is the first of the five gates and, presumably, the northernmost. The “City Walls of Babylon C” text records that there were twelve towers from the bank of the Euphrates River to the Šūhi Canal Gate and twenty-six towers between it and the next gate, the Madānu Canal Gate.
