Geography/Culture: Near East (Iraq): Babylonia, Akkadia.
Linguistic Note: since the combined meaning of Her name is given as 'great physician' and Bau's name alone as meaning 'Space', by Monaghan, I interpret Gula as 'physician', (supporting this Gula has as title the name of a healing Goddess) and, since space is limitless, I assume 'great' is an alternate translation of Bau.
