Tukuk-OS🧿 Malgium
Iraq · Asia · 32.56°N, 45.10°E
Malgium is an ancient Mesopotamian city tentatively identified as Tell Yassir which thrived especially in the Middle Bronze Age, ca. 2000 BC - 1600 BC. Malgium formed a small city-state in an area where the edges of the territories controlled by Larsa, Babylon and Elam converged. Inscribed in cuneiform as ma-al-gi-imKI, its chief deities were Ea and Damkina. A temple of Ulmašītum is known to have been there. There was also a temple to the goddess Bēlet-ilī called Ekitusgestu as well as a temple to the god Anum. During the time of one ruler Malgium was written differently, ma3-al-kaKI. The unlacted town of Ibrat is thought to have been near Malgium.
