Kish:
near modern Tell al-Uhaymir is an important archaeological site in Babil Governorate (Iraq), located 80 kilometers south of Baghdad and 12 kilometers east of the ancient city of Babylon. The Ubaid period site of Ras al-Amiyah is 8 kilometers away. It was occupied from the Ubaid to Hellenistic periods.[3] In Early Dynastic times the city's patron deity was Inanna with her consort Enki. Her temple, at Tell Ingharra, was (E)-hursag-kalama. By Old Babylonian times the patron deities had become Zababa, along with his consort, the goddess Bau and Istar. His temple Emeteursag (later Ekišiba) was at Uhaimir.
According to the Sumerian version of history, it is considered the first city in which a king reigns after the great flood that was mentioned in Sumerian myths, Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
It is pronounced in the Akkadian language, Kichatu, which was located near Tel Al-Ahmar in the Iraqi province of Babylon, 12 km from Babylon, 80 km south of Baghdad.
The queen Kubaba is the first woman from Mesopotamia to sit on the throne and the first female queen presented by history. Kubaba was mentioned in the list of Sumerian kings, where she ruled the city of Kish in the year 2330 BC. Thus, she preceded the first Egyptian queen, “Sebkneferu”, as well as the famous Egyptian queen Cleopatra, and Torba by thousands of years as the first women to be inaugurated as a queen.
