Amat-Mamu
Amat-Mamu, fl. ca. 1750 BC, Sippar in ancient Babylonia, was a scribe whose existence is known from the cuneiform tablets on which she wrote. Amat-Mamu was a Naditu priestess and temple scribe in Sippar, in ancient Babylonia. We know she lived in the "gagum," a walled cloister precinct inhabited exclusively by women, similar to a convent. Her name is known through Naditu documents that show Amat-Mamu was one of eight scribes within Sippar's "gagum." Her career spanned the reigns of three kings, Hammurabi (1792–1750 BC), Samsu-iluna (1749–1712 BC), and Abi-eshuh (1711–1684 BC
