Eshnunna, Archaeological site in Baqubah, Iraq

The ruins of Eshnunna span across multiple levels, revealing structural remains, pottery fragments, and residential areas from different historical periods.

Between 2500 and 1750 BCE, Eshnunna functioned as a major city-state, controlling trade routes between Mesopotamia and the Iranian plateau.

The Law Code of Eshnunna, discovered at Tell Harmal, documents early legal practices and contains regulations about property, marriage, and commercial transactions.

The archaeological site requires prior authorization for visits and includes multiple excavation areas accessible through paths starting from the main entrance.

Eshnunna developed an advanced drainage system in its Northern Palace, demonstrating early civil engineering achievements in ancient Mesopotamia.
