Mamitu

Ancient Mesopotamia

Mamitu was a Mesopotamian goddess associated with the underworld. She was regarded as the wife of Nergal, or sometimes of other gods regarded as analogous to him, such as Erra. Her importance in Mesopotamian religion was minor, and she was most likely worshiped primarily in Kutha, though attestations are available from other cities too.

It is possible that she was a forerunner of the Mandean Amamit.
