Ana-Tašmētum-taklāk
Ana-Tašmētum-taklāk (Akkadian: Ana-Tašmētum-taklāk or Ana-Tašmētu-taklak) was a queen of the Neo-Assyrian Empire. She is known only from a single fragmentary inscription and it has as of yet not been possible to confidently identify which king was her husband. She is the only Neo-Assyrian queen known by name whose husband and dates are unknown. Though various identifications have been proposed, the hypothesis with the least problems is that she was the wife of one of the last Assyrian kings, Aššur-etil-ilāni (r. 631–627 BC) or Sîn-šar-iškun (r. 627–612 BC).
