In ancient Mesopotamian religion, Lugal-irra and Meslamta-ea are a set of twin gods who were worshipped in the village of Kisiga, located in northern Babylonia.[2] They were regarded as guardians of doorways[1] and they may have originally been envisioned as a set of twins guarding the gates of the Underworld, who chopped the dead into pieces as they passed through the gates.[3] During the Neo-Assyrian period, small depictions of them would be buried at entrances,[1] with Lugal-irra always on the left and Meslamta-ea always on the right.[1] They are identical and are shown wearing horned caps and each holding an axe and a mace.[1] They are identified with the constellation Gemini, which is named after them.[1]
