Question
Godefroy Goossens contradicted a thesis about a late ruler of this polity by pointing out his predecessor’s similar practice of designing building projects using temennu. A ruler from this polity dated the reign of Naram-Sin to 3900 BCE using foundation deposits at a temple site. An expedition under this polity discovered a statue of Sargon in the foundations of a temple at Sippar. Tri-lingual labels appeared next to artifacts in the world’s oldest known museum created by the daughter of this polity’s last ruler. That ruler of this polity, sometimes called the (*) world's first archaeologist, restored the Great Ziggurat of Ur and the Etemenanki in this polity's capital city. A lapis lazuli covered structure built under this polity attempted to emulate the style of Sumerian and Akkadian predecessors. For 10 points, name this empire where the Ishtar Gate and a possibly fictional Hanging Gardens were constructed under its kings Nabonidus and Nebuchadnezzar ■END■
