Esagil, the Sumerian Superstar

Esagil, the great Sumerian king, known for his impressive beard and questionable leadership skills.

Little is known about Esagil, other than his extensive collection of clay tablets and his ability to make a good cup of tea.

Esagil's reign was marked by his bold decisions, including the construction of the Esagil Canal, a waterway that connected the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.

However, his greatest achievement was the invention of the Sumerian alphabet, a system of writing that would go on to influence the development of writing systems for centuries to come.

But don't be fooled, Esagil's greatest love was his extensive collection of rare and exotic cheeses.
