Sumerian Porridge From Lagash

This golden porridge takes us back to the 24th century where it was offered to the gods by a king named Urukagina in hope of getting their protection.
In this video I’ll tell you why Urukagina, a revolutionary king, needed the gods protection, what he offered to get it, and if it worked.

in the south and middle of iraq we call it Hareesa but they add a Buffalo cream to it with out the yogurt
بالجنوب والوسط حتى بالشمال عدنا الهريسة وهي حنطة مسلوقة ويضاف لها القيمر او الملح او العسل حسب الشخص الان تطبخ مع اللحم ولكن اعتقد انها بدأت قبل اضافة اللحم للطبق

Great video! I am Aramaic myself and I’m surprised you didn’t mention the sour milk we turn into rock and store during the whole winter, and rehydrate when we cook the gabola.
It has a great history itself, linked to Mongolians (though I know you focus on the Assyrian empire)

[@tableofgods]

That's true! But it was lacking from the Sumerian sources, so that's why I didn't mention it :)

[@laurencesuhner7201]

That was not Inanna but Erishkigal! Also there is no recipe in the description!

[@tableofgods]

Hi Michael, whether the Burney Relief depicts Inana or Ereshkigal is highly debated. It could be either of them. I believe it's Inanna :) Here's a link to the recipe www.tableofgods.com/zizga

Reminds me of Hareesa or Gerdoo/Gerdool

[@purplealice]

People today put a pat of butter on a bowl of warm oatmeal, or their grits.
