Where harvests decide survival, every field is a battlefield.
Between the Tigris and Euphrates, one guardian stands watch: Ninurta.
These floodplains, cut by canals, fed the earliest cities.
Farmers traced furrows, offered grain, and marked boundaries under his name.
Cuneiform tablets list rations, seed loans, and temple lands to him—proof that bread and order rose together.
When storms, pests, or raiders came, Ninurta was invoked as warrior.
Myths tell of rivers cleared and waters restored.
Plow in one hand, weapon in the other, he seals the pact that sustains a city: protect the land, and life endures.
In the quiet furrow lies his legacy—labor, guarded, becoming civilization.
