Enlil's primary center of worship was the <a href="/wiki/Ekur" title="Ekur">Ekur</a> temple in the city of <a href="/wiki/Nippur" title="Nippur">Nippur</a>, which was believed to have been built by Enlil himself and was regarded as the "mooring-rope" of heaven and earth. He is also sometimes referred to in Sumerian texts as Nunamnir. According to one Sumerian hymn, Enlil himself was so holy that not even the other gods could look upon him. Enlil rose to prominence during the twenty-fourth century BC with the rise of Nippur. His <a href="/wiki/Cult_(religious_practice)" title="Cult (religious practice)">cult</a> fell into decline after Nippur was sacked by the <a href="/wiki/Elam" title="Elam">Elamites</a> in 1230 BC and he was eventually supplanted as the chief god of the Mesopotamian pantheon by the Babylonian <a href="/wiki/National_god" title="National god">national god</a> <a href="/wiki/Marduk" title="Marduk">Marduk</a>.

The myth of <a href="/wiki/Enlil_and_Ninlil" title="Enlil and Ninlil">Enlil and Ninlil</a> is about Enlil's serial seduction of the goddess <a href="/wiki/Ninlil" title="Ninlil">Ninlil</a> in various guises, resulting in the conception of the moon-god <a href="/wiki/Sin_(god)" class="mw-redirect" title="Sin (god)">Nanna</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Ancient_Mesopotamian_Underworld" class="mw-redirect" title="Ancient Mesopotamian Underworld">Underworld</a> deities <a href="/wiki/Nergal" title="Nergal">Nergal</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ninazu" title="Ninazu">Ninazu</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Enbilulu" title="Enbilulu">Enbilulu</a>. Enlil was regarded as the inventor of the <a href="/wiki/Mattock" title="Mattock">mattock</a> and the patron of agriculture.
