Mašqû Gate
Nineveh's western wall had seven (or eight) gates: the Mašqû Gate was the northernmost one. The Neo-Assyrian king Sennacherib constructed it and gave it the Akkadian ceremonial name Ea-mušēšir-kuppīya, which means "The God Ea Is the One Who Properly Directs (Water Flow into) My Cisterns."
