The following is excerpted from “400 Outstanding Women of the World and the Costumology of Their Time” by Minna Moscherosch Schmidt, published in 1933.
Enaneul was the sister of Rim-Sin the King of Larsa and all Southern Babylonia. Like so many ladies of noble birth in the Ancient World a career in the service of a god was selected for her.
She was installed as High Priestess of the Moon-God Sin at Ur, and there she served with religious fervor for many years. Perhaps she prayed often to her god for the success of her brother’s armies against those of the great warrior Hammurabi of Babylon, who finally conquered Rim-Sin.
