History
Kar-Mullissu (Akkadian "Quay of the goddess Mullissu") is an Assyrian town in northern Iraq. Modern Karemles (also Karemlash and Karemlish) is located less than twenty-nine km southeast of Mosul (ancient Nineveh). Inscribed bricks of the seventh-century-BCE Assyrian king Sargon II have been discovered there.
