Lady Of The Lions
NIN-UR.MAH.MEŠ, named the "Lady" of the Lions, was the author of two letters to the pharaoh, the King of Ancient Egypt, in the 1350-1335 BC Amarna letters correspondence. Her name is a representation of the original written script characters of Babylonian 'Sumerograms', "NIN- + UR.MAH + (plural:MEŠ)", and means, "woman–lion–plural", namely: "Lady (of the) Lions". (See: NIN for "lady"). The Amarna letters are mostly written in Akkadian cuneiform, with local words/phrases/etc due to various city-states or countries.
The name, and location of her city/city-state is unknown(?).
