A'annepada (Sumerian: 𒀀𒀭𒉌𒅆𒊒𒁕, romanized: Aanépàdda) was a king of the First Dynasty of Ur, c. 2600 BCE.[1][2] He was a son of Mesannepada.[1][3] It is thought that his tomb may be tomb PG 580 in the Royal Cemetery at Ur.[1]

Votive tablets

[edit]

Several tablets are known that bear his name, in particular dedicated to Ninhursag, and proclaiming Mesannepada as his father:[4]

Foundation cone

[edit]
Foundation cone of A'annepada for Inanna, British Museum BM 90951.[7][8][9]

A foundation cone in a copper alloy was found in Ur, bearing the name of "King A'annepada" in a dedication for Inanna, now in the British Museum (BM 90951).[7][8][9][10]

The cone was discovered by John George Taylor in 1854 during his excavations in Ur.[9] It has a length of 34.3 centimetres, and a diameter of 3.7 centimetres, and weighs 1.7 kilograms.[9][8] According to the British Museum, it was found together with two other objects, a carved stone with handle and a lapis lazuli portrait, which together probably formed a foundation deposit.[11]

The actual content of the inscription had been overlooked, until it was published by J.C. Gadd in 1928.[8]

Artifacts from tomb PG 580 at Ur

[edit]

It has been suggested that the tomb of A'annepada may be tomb PG 580 in the Royal Cemetery at Ur.[1]
