Nanmakh Temple

The word Nanmakh means ((the great lady)), and this temple was for women only, as the Babylonian women used to sit in this temple once a year asking for a holy marriage. This temple is distinguished by the presence of the holy well so any Babylonian woman who commits a sin or guilt must bathe in the waters of this sacred well, which would remove all her sins. This well still exists until now, and there are spread rumors that this temple is the same temple that was mentioned in the Holy Qur’an at the time of Harut and Marut, who were practicing black magic in Babylon thousands of years ago.
