Similarly, the belligerent character of Ishtar is the only phase of the goddess dwelt upon during this period.
While for Agumkakrimi, she still occupies a comparatively inferior rank, coming seventh in his list, Nebuchadnezzar places her immediately after Anu and before Ramman and Marduk.

This advance foreshadows the superior role that she is destined to play in the pantheon during the period of Assyrian supremacy.

The cult of Nergal does not figure prominently during this period.

In fact, so far as the historical texts go, he disappears from the scene till the time of Nebuchadnezzar I., when he is incidentally invoked in a group with Ramman and Nana as the gods of a district in Babylonia known as Namar.

Exactly where Namar lay has not yet been ascertained.
