Identifying Mount Nimush
*Nişir or Nimuš? The mountain on which the Babylonian ark came to rest as Uta-napiŝtim’s flood receded is written NI-MUŠ or KUR NI-MUŠ (AKA 306-7, 34-39). From the topographical information of these royal inscriptions it is clear that the mountain lay east of Assyria and across the Lower Zab, and E. A. Speiser, who studied the area on the ground, supported earlier suggestions that Pir Omar Gudrun was the probable choice (AASOR 8 (1926/27), 17 f..). Pir Omar Gudrun, north of Suleimaniyah, northeast of Kurkuk; called Kinipa by the Lullu/Lullubu people, and a very impressive peak (Speiser 1926-7).
