Kalkal (god)

Kalkal (god)

Kalkal was a Mesopotamian god regarded as a divine doorkeeper. He was associated with the Ekur, the temple of Enlil in Nippur. He is attested in sources from this city from multiple periods, including offering lists from the Ur III period, an Old Babylonian god list, and the Neo-Babylonian Nippur Compendium. He was also worshiped in Maškan, where a temple dedicated to him existed in the Ur III period, as well as in Assur, as first attested in Middle Assyrian sources. He is also attested in a number of literary texts, such as the myth Nanna-Suen's Journey to Nippur and the lament Enamani Ilu Ilu.
