In 1920, J. D. Prince also suggested a possible link between the Lord (Ni) of [[Marad]] and Nimrod. He mentioned how Dr. Kraeling was now inclined to connect Nimrod historically with [[Lugal-Banda]], a mythological Sumerian king mentioned in Poebel, ”Historical Texts”, 1914, whose seat was at the city Marad.<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Prince |first=J.D. |year=1920 |title=A Possible Sumerian Original of the Name Nimrod |journal=Journal of the American Oriental Society}}{{full citation needed|date=March 2017}}</ref>

According to [[Ronald Hendel]] the name Nimrod is probably a much later polemical distortion of the Semitic Assyrian god [[Ninurta]], a prominent god in [[Mesopotamian religion]] who had cult centers in a number of [[Assyria]]n cities such as [[Kalhu]], and also in [[Babylon]], and was a patron god of a number of [[Assyria]]n kings.<ref name=”Metzger & Coogan”>{{cite book |title=Oxford Guide to the Bible |page=557 |publisher=Oxford University Press |year=1993 |isbn=978-0-19-534095-2}}</ref> Nimrod’s imperial ventures described in Genesis may be based on the conquests of the [[Kings of Assyria|Assyrian king]] [[Tukulti-Ninurta I]]

The identification with [[Ninus]] follows that of the ”Clementine Recognitions”; the one with Zoroaster, that of the ”Clementine Homilies”, both works part of [[Clementine literature]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://ccel.org/fathers2/ANF-08/anf08-53.htm |title=Homily IX |publisher=Ccel.org |date=1 June 2005 |access-date=5 April 2012 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120629045848/http://ccel.org/fathers2/ANF-08/anf08-53.htm |archive-date=29 June 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref> There was a historical Assyrian queen [[Shammuramat]] in the 9th century, the wife of [[Shamshi-Adad V]], whom some Assyriologists have identified with Semiramis, while others make her a later namesake of a much earlier (again, historically unattested) Semiramis.

In [[David Rohl]]’s theory, [[Enmerkar]], the [[Sumer]]ian founder of [[Uruk]], was the original inspiration for Nimrod, because the story of ”[[Enmerkar and the Lord of Aratta]]”<ref>{{cite web |url=http://etcsl.orinst.ox.ac.uk/section1/tr1823.htm |title=Enmerkar and the lord of Aratta: translation |publisher=Etcsl.orinst.ox.ac.uk |access-date=12 November 2009}}</ref> bears a few similarities to the legend of Nimrod and the Tower of Babel, and because the -KAR in Enmerkar means “hunter”. Additionally, Enmerkar is said to have had [[ziggurat]]s built in both [[Uruk]] and [[Eridu]], which Rohl postulates was the site of the original Babel.
