Ubshukinna (Ubshukenna, Upshukkinaku) (chamber of destinies) In Near Eastern mythology (Babylonian), heavenly council hall of the gods. It was reproduced in the earthly temple complex, where the Zag-Muk, the great New Year celebration, was held. The ceremony honoured the hero god Marduk, who on that day told the destiny of men for the coming year from the tablets of fate.
