This building, together with its twin ziggurats, was constructed no later than the Middle Assyrian period; it underwent a major rebuilding in the reign of Tiglath-pileser I (1114–1076 BC). The existence of an (unnamed) Adad temple at Assur, however, is known from inscriptions of the Old Assyrian rulers Erišum I and Ikūnum. The various parts of this axisymmetric, double-temple was given Sumerian names: Anu’s temple and ziggurat were called Ešaan and Emelamanna; and Adad’s temple and ziggurat went by the names Ešuddegeštuku and Egišlamšaršar.35.458276 43.257422 35.459437 43.257422 35.459437 43.259113 35.458276 43.259113 35.458276 43.257422
