King Amar-Suena spent his reign trying to rebuild the sacred temple of Enki, yet the gods refused to answer his prayers. This text documents a ruler paralyzed by silence and the slow collapse of his divine mandate. Readers will discover the grim reality of a king whose legacy was erased by his own inability to read the omens.
