If the stele is anything to go by, Naram-Sin was a giant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.225.65.89 (talkcontribs) 21:28, 23 June 2006

It's called hierarchic proportion. Learning is fun! --Atlantima 02:42, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
He was indeed a giant. There were also other famous giants besides him. Read the Zohar or the Talmud (original versions in Aramaic and Jewish Babylonian Aramaic), it's all in there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.153.221.249 (talk) 08:53, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So which WikiPedia is correct, he reigned 36 years or he reigned 56 years?75.86.64.46 (talk) 13:48, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Naram-Sin could not be both king of the four corners and king of the universe. There is no evidence of that sort of king.

Victory Stele

[edit]

This site at the Louvre-([1]), states the Victory Stele of Naram-Suen is made of pink limestone. (from the HotSonoran desertArizonaUSA), Mmcannis (talk) 05:57, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dhul-Qarnayn?

Could he be Dhul-Qarnayn mentioned in the Holy Quraan? Aseel Mulla (talk) 15:26, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Divinity

[edit]

Too tired at the moment but I'm going to be adding a section on his assumption of divinity at some point as I feel it's needed - specifically it occurs in the context of his crushing of the 'great revolt' of the sumerian city states in one of the earlier years of his reign. There's also an precedent in one of the kings involved in the Lagash-Umma border conflict who was reportedly 'moulded by ningirsu in his mother's womb' - do people think that belongs here to establish context/precedent for his action, or is that better off on that king's page?
