在阿卡德史诗《埃努玛·埃利什》(“Enuma Elish”，也称作“创世的七块泥板”)中，基沙尔(Kishar)是拉赫穆(Lahmu)与拉哈穆(Lahamu)-提阿玛特(Tiamat)和阿勃特(Abzu)的第一个孩子所生的女儿。她是安沙尔(Anshar)的姐姐和妻子，安努(Anu)的母亲。基沙尔可能作为天空神安沙尔的对偶神，代表了大地，可能被看作是地母神。

在《埃努玛·埃利什》中，基沙尔只出现过一次，在史诗开头的几行，然后从故事中消失。她似乎只是在公元前一世纪的其它文献中偶尔出现，并可能同等于与苍天神安努的女性对应神-安图(Antu)女神。

In the Akkadian epic Enuma Elish, Kishar is the daughter of Lahmu and Lahamu, the first children of Tiamat and Abzu. She is the female principle, sister and wife of Anshar, the male principle, and the mother of Anu. Kishar may represent the earth as a counterpart to Anshar, the sky, and can be seen as an earth mother goddess. Her name also means "Whole Earth".
