Note: "Marad (Sumerian: Marda, modern Tell Wannat es-Sadum or Tell as-Sadoum, Iraq) was an ancient Sumerian tell (hill city). Marad was situated on the west bank of the then western branch of the Upper Euphrates River west of Nippur in modern-day Iraq and roughly 50 km southeast of Kish, on the Arahtu River.

The city´s ziggurat E-igi-kalama (House which is the eye of the Land) was dedicated to Ninurta the god of earth and the plow, built by one of Naram-Sin´s sons, as well as the tutelary deity Lugalmarada (also Lugal-Amarda). The city fell into the bounds of the Akkadian empire after the conquest of Sargon of Akkad." - (en.wikipedia.org 23.12.2021)
