E-abzu
The E-abzu, the house of the abzu, was the temple of the god Enki at Eridu in southern Mesopotamia. Excavations in the 1940s found a sequence of some eighteen temples built one on top of another on the same spot, from a small mud-brick shrine of the Ubaid period to a large platform temple. The site later carried a ziggurat begun under the Third Dynasty of Ur.
