I've seen refferences to the Holy Mound/Dukuga. I've seen it mentioned in the An Anum, especially in the God names Endukuga and Nindukuga, listed among the ancestors of Enlil. However the only time I've run across a text mentioning it is in The Curse of Agade, where the scribe says
"Their laments were as if Enlil's ancestors were performing a lament in the awe-inspiring Holy Mound by the holy knees of Enlil. Because of this, Enlil entered his holy bedchamber and lay down fasting."
Are there any more texts or any papers dealing with the Dukuga ? It must have been rather important since it features in the name of Ur-dukuga of Isin.
