This gate has been tentatively identified as the Adad Gate (Laura Battini, Jamie Novotny), the Šamaš Gate (Andreas Fuchs), the Enlil Gate (Beate Pongratz-Leisten) and the Mullissu Gate (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 2 remains open to debate. Since one expects a plain, decorated entranceway to be associated with the god Adad, Gate 2 might have been dedicated to the storm-god; a decorated gate is expected for the gods Enlil and Šamaš and, thus, unlikely that Gate 2 would have been named after one of those two important deities.
