Cradle of Life
Deep into the space. . . about 500.000 years ago
The redish celestial body was spiraling through the space
at high speed, getting close to our outer solar system as it is on regular orbit around the Sun.
When it approached inner solar system hit between planets was imminent. 4th planet from the Sun was on its path, before big hit one of the moons of the redish planet has struck 4th planet, and after that big planet split it, torn into pieces.
One big chunk has formed our planet Earth, and other smaller pieces created asteroid belt between the Earth and Mars.
12th Planet is called “Nibiru” 4th Planet was called Tiamat
Tiamat had its moon called Kingu ,that is now Earths moon.
After couple of orbits when everything cooled down, habitants from Nibiru called Anunnaki lunched a mission to Earth in search for gold mercury, other precius metals and minerals.
It all started in 1888, with Expedition of the University of Pennsylvania in southern Iraq.
They have excavated two important tablets, that started the avalanche of archeologist to go there and start digging.
The earliest record of a Sumerian creation myth, called “The Eridu Genesis” by historian Thorkild Jacobsen,is found in 1893, in todays southern Iraq, Ancient city of Nippur.
The beginning of the tablet is lost, but the surviving portion begins by recounting how the gods An, Enlil, Enki, and Ninhursang created the Sumerians and comfortable conditions for the animals to live and procreate. Kingship then descends from heaven, and the first cities are founded: Eridu, Bad-tibira, Larak, Sippar, and Shuruppak.
There is official and unofficial version. Due to missing parts of the tablets Historians and Scientist don`t want to accept Zecharia Sitchin Version.
Zecharia Sitchin is Journalist from Israel, who was working for shipping company, that provided him access to travel.
He went to see those Ancient city`s in Ancient Mesopotamia,
and he started to learn cuneiform ( language of Sumerians) .
After about 20 years of research Zecharia Sitchin published a book called “12th Planet”
According to Sitchin, Nibiru (called “the twelfth planet” because, Sitchin claimed, the Sumerians' gods-given conception of the Solar System counted all eight planets, plus Pluto, the Sun and the Moon) was the home of a technologically advanced human-like extraterrestrial race called the Anunnaki in Sumerian myth, who Sitchin states are called the Nephilim in Genesis. He wrote that they evolved after Nibiru entered the solar system, and they first arrived on Earth probably 450,000 years ago, looking for minerals, especially gold, which they found and mined in Africa. Sitchin states that these “gods” were the rank-and-file workers of the colonial expedition to Earth from planet Nibiru.
The term “Sumer” 𒋗𒈨𒊒, Sumerian is the name given to the land of the “Sumerians”, the ancient non-Semitic-speaking inhabitants of southern Mesopotamia, by their successors the East Semitic-speaking Akkadians. The Sumerians themselves referred to their land as Kengir, the 'Country of the noble lords'
The origin of the Sumerians is not known, but the people of Sumer referred to themselves as “Black Headed Ones” or “Black-Headed People”
Civilization of Sumer greatly surprised me with their developed systems of society in those times.
They created many of the systems we still use today, like calendar mathematics, higher degree of mathematics, they used 13th different mathematical approaches depending on what are they counting.
They had their own letter called Cuneiform there is only about 50 letters/signs that we are unable to decode.
They even had spoken language of cuneiform.
Most important findings are:
“The Eridu Genesis” – Sumerian creation myth and “The Flood myth” – Ziusudra (today known as Noah) survive the flood
“The Epic of Gilgamesh” – Heroic king from Uruk ( halfgod)
Sumerian religion was the religion practiced and adhered to by the people of Sumer, the first literate civilization of ancient Mesopotamia. The Sumerians regarded their divinities as responsible for all matters pertaining to the natural and social orders
Sumerians were very religious people that believed in over 3600 deity's( diffrent gods)
Most important god`s in their religion are:
An (in Sumerian), later known as Anu
is the supreme God and prime mover in creation, embodied by the sky. He is the first and most distant ancestor,theologically conceived as the God of Heaven in its “transcendental obscurity”. All the deities were believed to be the offspring of An and his consort Ki . While An was the utmost God, at least by the time of the earliest written records the cult was largely devoted to Enlil.
Enlil is the god of wind, air, earth, and storms and the chief of all the gods. One Sumerian hymn describes Enlil as so glorious that even the other gods could not look upon him. His cult was closely tied to the holy city of Nippur.
Enki, later known as Ea, is the god of the subterranean freshwater ocean, who is also closely associated with wisdom, magic, incantations, arts, and crafts.
Utu, later known as Shamash, is the ancient Mesopotamian god of the Sun, who was also revered as the god of truth, justice, and morality.
Nanna, (“Lord of Wisdom”) in Sumerian, is the ancient Mesopotamian god of the Moon.
Nergal was associated with the Underworld and is usually the husband of Ereshkigal.
He was also associated with forest fires , fevers, plagues, and war. In myths, he causes destruction and devastation.
Nabu was the Mesopotamian god of scribes and writing.
Inanna, later known as Ishtar, is “the most important female deity of ancient Mesopotamia at all periods.” She was the Sumerian goddess of love, sexuality, prostitution, and war. She was the divine personification of the planet Venus, the morning and evening star.
Ninurta, also known as Ningirsu, was a Mesopotamian warrior deity who was worshipped in Sumer from the very earliest times. He was the champion of the gods against the Anzû bird after it stole the Tablet of Destinies from his father Enlil.
There are many more deity's they have worshiped but this ones are most important to them.
They are first civilization that left written form behind them.
They had almost everything writen down.
They even had different coins for different trades,
Coins for sheep`s, coins for wheat, coins for other goods.
they had couple of different coins with different value.
1 coin=1 sheep , 1 coin = 1 cup of wheat.
They were so advanced they had measures installed in their society.
There was universal “cup” for diffrent type of product.
They had knowledge of advanced Astronomy , advanced mathematics, agriculture ,art , craft , architecture ,they were even poet`s.
They had written most of stuff through poems.
Sumerian City-States
In the Sumerian city-states, temple complexes originally were small, elevated one-room structures.
In the early dynastic period, temples developed raised terraces and multiple rooms. Toward the end of the Sumerian civilization, ziggurats became the preferred temple structure for Mesopotamian religious centers. Temples served as cultural, religious, and political headquarters until approximately 2500 BC
Their city-states were build on precise mathematical equations from one another.
Historians divided Sumerian`s into two periods
1.The Ubaid period 6500–3800 BC is a prehistoric period of Mesopotamia.
2.The Third Dynasty of Ur, also called the Neo-Sumerian Empire, refers to a 2300-2100 BC
Peroid between 3100 BC and 2200 BC was period when Akkadian Empire was ruling in those times, so there is rise and fall of Sumerian civilization twice, and that is very confusing for historians, due to when Akkadians rule those lands, they destroyed most of Ubaid Period Sumerian culture.
There is dispute witch city is oldest...
Those 3 are, Eridu , Ur and Uruk
Unofficaly it is Eridu, and should be old around 300.000 years!
Most important to Sumerian`s were:
Eridu - was long considered the earliest city in southern Mesopotamia.Located 12 km southwest of Ur, Eridu was the southernmost of a conglomeration of Sumerian cities that grew around temples, almost in sight of one another. These buildings were made of mud brick and built on top of one another.
Larsa - was an important city state of ancient Sumer, the center of the cult of the sun god Utu. It lies some 25 km (16 mi) southeast of Uruk
Sippar - was an ancient Near Eastern Sumerian and later Babylonian city on the east bank of the Euphrates river
Shuruppak - was an ancient Sumerian city situated about 55 kilometres (35 mi) south of Nippur on the banks of the Euphrates in Iraq . Shuruppak was dedicated to Ninlil, also called Sud, the goddess of grain and the air.
Uruk - was an ancient city of Sumer (and later of Babylonia) situated east of the present bed of the Euphrates River on the dried-up ancient channel of the Euphrates
Kish - was an ancient tell (hill city) of Sumer
Ur - was an important Sumerian city-state in ancient Mesopotamia . Although Ur was once a coastal city near the mouth of the Euphrates on the Persian Gulf, the coastline has shifted and the city is now well inland, on the south bank of the Euphrates
Nippur - was an ancient Sumerian city. It was the special seat of the worship of the Sumerian god Enlil, the “Lord Wind”, ruler of the cosmos, subject to An alone.
Lagash - was an ancient city state located northwest of the junction of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers and east of Uruk
Adab - was an ancient Sumerian city between Telloh and Nippur. It was place of worship for goddess Inanna
Bad-tibira - was an ancient Sumerian city, which appears among antediluvian cities in the Sumerian King List.
Umma - was an ancient city in Sumer. There is some scholarly debate about the Sumerian and Akkadian names for this site.
