This gate has been tentatively identified as the Adad Gate (Andreas Fuchs), the Mullissu Gate (Beate Pongratz-Leisten), and the Enlil Gate (Laura Battini, Jamie Novotny, and Alexander Sollee). 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 1 remains open to debate. Since one expects a grand, decorated entranceway to be associated with the god Enlil, Gate 1 might have been dedicated to Enlil, rather than to the god Adad or the goddess Mullissu.
