Enheduana of Sumer

Have you ever wonder who was the first author and writer that singed his work.Well in the land of ancient Sumer now modern day Iraq there was a daughter of a great and powerful ruler named Sargon. He was born on farm with a family of farmers but he made his way up to being king, we don't know exactly how. Sargon had two twin sons and a daughter. His sons were named Rimush and Manishtusu. Sargon expected his sons to follow in his foot steps but his sons only had yen to be kings but not the talent. Enheduana was appointed by her father to be a high priestess to the god Nanna the important moon god. To be a high priestess she had to leave her city and go to Ur, one of the most sacred places. There she was given the room all the way on top of the ziggurat, the room closest to the heavens. She preformed many rituals but her most important one was the annual new year. She knew how to write which was really rare for women since only a few men knew how to write. She wrote 42 poems and was famous at her age. She had the potential and talent to be a king but only a man could. When her father died she was kicked from her position and sent to the dessert but she said she will have the last laugh.
