The planet Venus appears to make a similar descent, setting in the West and then rising again in the East.{{sfn|Cooley|2008|pages=161–172}} An introductory hymn describes Inanna leaving the heavens and heading for ''Kur'', what could be presumed to be the mountains, replicating the rising and setting of Inanna to the West.{{sfn|Cooley|2008|pages=161–172}} In ''Inanna and Shukaletuda'', Shukaletuda is described as scanning the heavens in search of Inanna, possibly searching the eastern and western horizons.{{sfn|Cooley|2008|pages=163–164}} In the same myth, while searching for her attacker, Inanna herself makes several movements that correspond with the movements of Venus in the sky.{{sfn|Cooley|2008|pages=161–172}}
