    To destroy, to create, to tear out, to establish are yours, Inanna.

      Is this the daughter who got her father so drunk he gave her all the things that make up Civilization and fled to start her own city?

      The irony of her being the original Sargon of Akkad’s daughter is kinda funny to me.
