“While the healing goddesses of the Mesopotamian pantheon - Ninisina, Nintinugga (associated with Nippur), Ninkarrak (worshiped especially in Terqa and Sippar ), Gula (possibly originally from Umma), Meme and Bau - were initially separate deities, they were at times either partially conflated or treated as equivalents of each other.”
