Question
Dominant rulers gradually claimed this title instead of ensi, which kings of Isin and Larsa took as pious stewards of a temple’s farmlands. For 10 points each:
[10m] Give this Sumerian title that precedes “Anne-Mundu” to identify a “king of the four corners” from Adab, “Zage-Si” to identify a warlord overthrown by Sargon, and “banda” to identify a mythical king of Uruk.
ANSWER: lugal [accept Lugalbanda; accept Lugal-Zage-Si; accept Lugal-Anne-Mundu or Lugalanamundu or Lugal-an-ne-mu-un-du]
[10h] This legendary queen of Kish is the only female lugal on the Sumerian King List. The Weidner Chronicle anachronistically reports fish sent to the Esagila by this queen, who shared her name with Carchemish’s patron deity.
ANSWER: Kubaba [or Kug-bau or Kug-ba-u; accept Kbb or Ku-pa-pa or Ku-ba-ba-at]
[10e] The King List calls Kubaba a seller of this product, which was made by Sumerian priestesses of Ninkasi. Ancient Egyptians made this caloric staple alongside bread.
ANSWER: beer [accept ale; accept malt or malted grain; prompt on alcohol, liquor, spirits, booze, beverages, drinks, or equivalents of any; prompt on gruel or porridge; prompt on grain, barley, wheat, or emmer by asked “processed into what product?”]
