Egypt has been a focus mainly because of the Rosetta Stone, we can actually read and understand their texts, in full, there is way more we understand about Egypt, and at the same time we have so many questions. Looking too far into Sumerian history would lead to pure speculation, due to the absence of some of their history, what history we have studied about them seems to have reached an apex. Egypt still has mind blowing discoveries to uncover... Like "How old is the Leo Sphinx?" It looks like we could have been wrong about certain timelines, by thousands of years. There are also great libraries we still haven't found, with one such library possibly underneath the Leo Sphinx it 'self. Geo readings in that area suggest so, also we know that Sphinx's had hidden chambers. Unfortunately, the Egyptian government won't allow archaeologists to dig there, however, the government have been digging up "water pipes" in that very area. If they find something, I hope they share it with the rest of the world.

Never assume that the first to document something was it's inventor. Sumer was a unique and innovative culture, a culture of many firsts, no doubt, but human culture has existed exponentially longer than civilization. Stone age cultures had technologies which is why we classify them by Paleolithic, Mesolithic, Neolithic and Chalcolithic. They are the first WE KNOW OF to do X, Y, Z. Never assume that you really know.
There are so many things we don't know about our history. The things we know is maybe what they wanted us to know. I think some things were kept secret...
It would be awesome to be able to go back in time and see them at their height or Mesopotamia timeframe. That whole part of ancient civilization has been overlooked by so many historians.
I'd rather go back and see the sumerian cities than any other past event, including Jesus. Something big is definitely missing in what we know about them, and what caused them to be able to make such big advances. I'm not about to go ancient aliens on this comment or anything like that, but it is really really interesting how they pioneered so many amazing new technologies.

The ancient Sumerian civilization, according to Andre Marie, was forgotten, not even mentioned in the Bible texts. Thus, when the French archaeologists brought to light the monuments of the Sumerians but also the coins which bore the Cretan bull, statuettes and amphorae of Minoan Cretan style, in the second half of the 19th century, the European world was puzzled by the depth of time of this civilization. and was impressed by the perfection of the artistic creations, which had been created at the end of the 3rd millennium BC. in centers such as Lagas or Grasso, whose every trace had been erased from history.
There has been extensive archaeology of southern Iraq and many artifacts were found there and the ruins of such buildings as the Ziggurat built by Shulgi in the 21st century bc and are still quite present today. They are far from erased from history!
The Bible did not mention the Sumerian civilization because it is much older than the Bible, it is the oldest civilization at all, and all historical sources agreed on this (from Sumer came history, all history)

Yes I noticed the bigger people also have either tails or maybe swords between their legs. Some of them are holding hands in certain spots and also whatever they have on their wrists that look kinda like watches
Presumably meant to signify societal status/importance. A similar practice is observed in the art of other cultures; it’s easier to convey the importance or power of a figure like a king or hero or God by making them larger in depictions. I.e. Egyptian pharaohs are usually depicted larger than their subjects. The “watch” like wrist adornment is just that: jewelry. But it’s not a watch. It’s more like a bracelet, and the “clock” face is actually a flower presumably meant to represent fertility.

The Dogon are a tribeliving in Mali, West Africa. According to one of their legends a race called the Nommos visited the Earth from the star Siriusthousands of years ago. These people had knowledge of the Sirius system for thousands of years that wasn't visible through a telescope until the 70's. They say that is where their God came from.
Sirius has been visible for THOUSANDS of years. It didn't just appear in the sky as a main sequence star in 1970. There are many historic records well before 1970 as well as ancient records.
Sumerians most likely started being a part of complex civilization circa 5000-6000 BC but their civilization ended much later around 2500 BC after the gradual assimilation in to the Semitic speaking-Akkadians who came from the Levant c. 3000 BC.
Seriously where is the prove akkadians were semitic speaking poeple or another twisted history. Dont think so this are poeple from indus Valley civilisation after it collapsed. History have been corrupted that every body injecting nonsense on everything bit of truth.
The Sumerians are the same as the Kurds because they speak the Sumerian language in the same geographical location and with a close and common language, and the Yazidi Kurds are the closest to the Sumerians in terms of religion and customs, and still have the same manners and worship after thousands of years. They do.
It's shouldn't be so hard to find out, the Kurds ancestors the Sumerians and Medes still have remains left in the Kurdistan region. A quick DNA result from perhaps the Median kings tomb should be enough to determine if they are our ancestors or not.

What tablets would those be, because Sumerian culture preceded the Akkadians!? The Sumerians developed Cuniform which the Akkadians adopted after conquering the Sumerians in the 23rd century bc.
@@descendedofrigvedicclans2216 The Akkadians, Sumerians and Assyrians were three different cultures that lived in that area of Mesopotamia. Mesopotamia was the region and sometimes it was dominated by one group of people. For example the Sumerians were probably the earliest people to occupy the Mesopotamian region possibly going back millennia even more than 3000 years BC!!. Their culture was most advanced in the third millennia BC with the exception of the Egyptian empire. Then the Akkadians came in and displace the Sumerians and they were eventually replaced by another group of people. After 2000 BC it became increasingly difficult to keep track of the many different people's that occupied the Mesopotamian region. It is a fascinating history and fortunately there are a lot of good videos on UA-cam about these different groups. And a word of caution. Some channels get a lot of the details and times wrong when these various people became most influential and dominant. Consequently I check out several different sources over time and you begin to see who is competent and who isn't.
A plethora of ancient historians such as : Euhemerus ,Dionysius of Halicarnassus ,Diodorys of Sisily , Nonnus report that Greeks and specially Cretans were expanding by their ships in the Aegean in the mediterannea in the Indian Ocean since the time of Ammon Zeus and his son Dionysus A
@Mountaindew You truly have a simple mind! The bible came way after the sumerians had gone the way of the dodo, What we know of them came from there writings not from the bible. LOL And as for your vatican cult, a butchery cult of what jesus taught you really need to read more and do more research, do you even know how and why the bible was put together and by who. LOL It must be nice to try to wrap it all up with 1 book from a cult and say this is the way it was, did you take the pretty pink bow off the book before you read it. LOL please read more and do more research !!!!
@Mountaindew You do know that the Bible was compiled by the Vatican right? They could have made changes to the scriptures to suit their agenda. You should really rethink what you know and stop yourself from blindingly following something you are too biased on.
the most interesting thing is that is no evidence of an evolving culture that became Sumer. The development of the things that are mentioned in this video would take hundreds of years, at least, yet there is no physical evidence of stages of development, only a fully formed culture that included much of the core elements of modern society. The answer as to why is what archaeologists should be searching for, the possibilities are intriguing.
You should look up the gods of Sumeria. Anu, Enlil, Enki...interesting story. They even had a story about the first man, Adam and the Great Flood and angels falling from heaven, etc.
You know this world is fucked when these people start to lean from the matrix and forget about real books. Your life is full of shit and lies like your electronic elections.
Look very hard at the carvings in the blocks of clay. Play close attention to the hieroglyphs look at the features on these carvings or Impressions of the Sumerians
I really wish people stop showing and referencing ancient Assyrian reliefs and artifacts when talking about Sumerians. You did it in this video. Stop mixing them up.
There is some controversy about the early history of the Sumerian people. The earliest known settlements in Mesopotamia were in 6500BC as stated, but the statement that it ended in 4100 BCE is categorically false as I have seen several sources that state otherwise. In fact the Sumerian culture reached its highest form in the 3rd milennia. There were eventually overcome by the Akkadians in about 2400 BCE. The Sumerians enjoyed a brief renaissance in 2100 BCE, but this only last for a century or so. The Cuniform was still used in religious text until 100 BCE almost 2000 years later!! And that early Cuniform writing wasn't developed until later in the 3rd milennia BCE. It began with pictographs similar to Egyptian hieroglyphics. The pictographs evolved into Cuniform in the late 3rd milennia. At least that is the dates of the earliest tablets of Cuniform of which there were thousands as the Sumerians kept comprehensive records.
I'm interested in looking at details (as much as possible) about the people prior to Sumeria. Most stuff points at ancient aliens, and that's not my interest. I am interested in data. Can you make recommendations? You sound like you know a bit about the people prior to Sumer. Of particular interest to me is Dilmun. Possibly the original Garden of Eden. (I'm not religious at all. I just am fascinated with Dilmun and the history of this time.
@@EdmondManning Dilum is not a culture I had ever heard of. And I know nothing about any people that preceded the Sumerians. Good luck in your research.
Huh 6500 BC to 4100 BC? That's absolutely off, shocking that people haven't pointed it out. The sumerian civilisation lasted approximately from 4500 BC to 1900 BC. Before them the Mesopotamian lands were inhabited by the Ubaiad and Halaf people.

@@Polo-rn8ly The Sumerians immigrated into the Middle East possibly from the far east. India possibly, which to this day many people are very dark skinned also with black hair.
@CaptivatingHistory I'm a first time viewer of your channel and I immediately noticed something you said at the beginning of your film you said "most scholars around the world agree that the ancient sumerians were the earliest developed civilization in our recorded history." It has me wondering if only most scholars believe that ancient sumerians were the earliest developed civilization, what do other scholars believe about our earliest developed civilizations or moreover our history?
There could always be a dissenting opinion, or even some difference of opinion about what civilisation is. We have a sort of proto-city in Catal Huyuk in Turkey. That one is really interesting. It was a town of about 3,000 people. I'm trying to remember the details. Buildings were squarish shaped and tightly packed together. No streets, but they surrounded an open area used for refuse. Entrances were actually on the roof. No doors on ground level. There was early agriculture, and a lot of iconography surrounding bulls. Then there's Jericho in Palestine, one of the world's oldest continually inhabited sites. I don't know much about that one. At the same time a couple cultures in ancient China would have also been developing agriculture... I'm pretty sure none of them were as sophisticated as the Sumerians at the time though. As the video explains, they were a culture of firsts. As to why, the narrative usually goes; is that agriculture required irrigiation in the region. Irrigation required organisation and division of labour. This leads to cities. Cities leads to trade, leads to accounting which needs numbers. numbers leads to writing. Which leads to records. And there you have a recognisable civilisation that's almost modern. Some of their influence can be seen in the bible, particularly the flood narrative. Also they profoundly influenced the Greeks. For example, the planet associated with the goddess of love and war, Innana, is the planet we know of as Venus today, the goddess of love, and that's no accident. I'm pretty interested in Sumer, and pretty angry it's been coopted by nutjob conspiracy theorists influenced by Zechariah Sitchin's dubious translations.
@@Gilgamechasaur it has actually been confirmed by five different linguistic scholars that Zachariah was right in his translations, they fired him from his job because alot of scholars during his time were die hard Christians and they didn't want to admit even to themselves that their religion could be based on someone else's, moreover if he was indeed a fraud Zachariah wouldn't have got another job at a different university

linguists : J Chadwick, Michael, Ventris Γκάρεθ Όουενς, L. A. Waddel, Fr. Delitzsch,. konstantinos Chatzigianakhs agree that the sumerian writing is structural similar to Linear A and to ancient greek , it contains a plethora of greek words and it can help in the etymology of greek words tat are hard to etymologize
Since the first Sumerian signs of writing preceded the Minoan culture by a 1000 years if there is any similarities between the two it is because the Minoan culture adopted some of the language through contact with the Sumerians or another group nearby. In addition to that language that Sumerians spoke is unlike any other language in the area which include of course the Minoans. The Cuniform script developed by the Sumerians was also picked up the Akkadians who conquered the Sumerians about 2270 bc again well before any sign of Linear b appeared. Having said that it might be interesting to see what these academics have to say.
@@l2shot716 There's also laws in China Iran USA or even Turkey but not a single one of them is Democratic. Democracy means Freedom and there's no Freedom in ancient Sumeria. They literally obeying some lazy worthless con artists as Gods who came from the stars
Primitive human society does tend to be democratic. In some cases we do have evidence of communities being ruled by assembly, but this is only democratic in the very earliest and most primitive of settings. Once cities develop classes, and especially a priesthood, even "republican" cities would have been ruled by oligarchy. There are a few examples in ancient Mesopotamia of cities being ruled by kings who are said to be raised up by the people. In fact depending upon what title the ruler took, he was more or less proclaiming his authority as royal and divine (Lugal), or more representative (Ensi). So it is not true that there was no democratic traditions in ancient sumer, it's just they are very old and by the time stories like the Gilgamesh Epic are being composed, such primitive organizational structures are seen as whole inadequate.

The Summerians Civilization was established after the flood of Noah A.S . Noah fought with Fallen Angels who had sex with Human Females where giants were born. Now Everybody has a question : How the Hell The Summerians were so advanced in every aspect of technology ? The answer is Simple that fallen angles taught them whom they called "Aliens" they taught them sorcery,astronomy etc. That's where "illumimatis" were born meaning people enlighted with knowledge than normal people. The Noah Kept on spreading God's message for 950 Years that don't worship aliens they are a test to you and Noah taught them to say "استغفر اللہ" that God will have mercy on them ( give them sons, making them land owners, giving them rivers and bounties of Earth and Skies) but they declined Noah's Message and started to preseve their seed in animals and plants then God said to Noah A.S to build Ark as i will open Gates of Skies and bring fourth the Global Flood that will wipe out all species except for what i order you to kept in Ark.

Euhemerus reports that the ancient Greek Minoan Cretans, led by Zeus, had settled in Arabia, Persia, the islands of the Indian Ocean, the island of Paghaia, Mesopotamia, where much later they were called Sumerians, until the Black Sea. and settled as chalibes. By order of Cassander, Euhemerus traveled to the island of Paghaia in the Persian Gulf. In his work "Sacred Inscription" he describes the life of the inhabitants of this island, claiming that they were Cretans who were transferred there by order of Zeus himself and lived in Paghaia ( Socotra ) under a common ownership regime.Euhemerus implies this "inscription", that he read it on the altar of Panara, the capital of Paghaia and wrote that Uranus, Saturn and Zeus were kings of Paghaia ( Socotra )and were deified after their death.
I think ancient Sumerian civilization is the first before mesopotamia civilization after mesopotamian civilization is babylonian empire and then in our present time is iraq today.
It is now clearly evident that sumerians spoke Turkic, the kenger turks to be precise, the zodiac map they introduced points geographically to their home land in Central Asia, their culture, religion, language and innovations can be traced through the ages by following the hittites, trojans, etruscans and native Americans particularly their language.
The Sumerians according to S.K Chattergi, L. A. Waddel, Strabo had pelasgian and not semitic roots , they were conquered later by accadians and sumerians that kept sumeriam civilization and writing and developed it further.

Egypt has been a focus mainly because of the Rosetta Stone, we can actually read and understand their texts, in full, there is way more we understand about Egypt, and at the same time we have so many questions. Looking too far into Sumerian history would lead to pure speculation, due to the absence of some of their history, what history we have studied about them seems to have reached an apex.
Egypt still has mind blowing discoveries to uncover... Like "How old is the Leo Sphinx?" It looks like we could have been wrong about certain timelines, by thousands of years.
There are also great libraries we still haven't found, with one such library possibly underneath the Leo Sphinx it 'self. Geo readings in that area suggest so, also we know that Sphinx's had hidden chambers. Unfortunately, the Egyptian government won't allow archaeologists to dig there, however, the government have been digging up "water pipes" in that very area.
If they find something, I hope they share it with the rest of the world.

Never assume that the first to document something was it's inventor. Sumer was a unique and innovative culture, a culture of many firsts, no doubt, but human culture has existed exponentially longer than civilization. Stone age cultures had technologies which is why we classify them by Paleolithic, Mesolithic, Neolithic and Chalcolithic. They are the first WE KNOW OF to do X, Y, Z. Never assume that you really know.

The ancient Sumerian civilization, according to Andre Marie, was forgotten, not even mentioned in the Bible texts. Thus, when the French archaeologists brought to light the monuments of the Sumerians but also the coins which bore the Cretan bull, statuettes and amphorae of Minoan Cretan style, in the second half of the 19th century, the European world was puzzled by the depth of time of this civilization. and was impressed by the perfection of the artistic creations, which had been created at the end of the 3rd millennium BC. in centers such as Lagas or Grasso, whose every trace had been erased from history.
There has been extensive archaeology of southern Iraq and many artifacts were found there and the ruins of such buildings as the Ziggurat built by Shulgi in the 21st century bc and are still quite present today. They are far from erased from history!

Presumably meant to signify societal status/importance. A similar practice is observed in the art of other cultures; it’s easier to convey the importance or power of a figure like a king or hero or God by making them larger in depictions. I.e. Egyptian pharaohs are usually depicted larger than their subjects.
The “watch” like wrist adornment is just that: jewelry. But it’s not a watch. It’s more like a bracelet, and the “clock” face is actually a flower presumably meant to represent fertility.

well, according to the tablets found in iraq, the sumerians claimed to have inherited everything from earlier cultures... Akkadia etc.
What tablets would those be, because Sumerian culture preceded the Akkadians!? The Sumerians developed Cuniform which the Akkadians adopted after conquering the Sumerians in the 23rd century bc.
@@descendedofrigvedicclans2216 The Akkadians, Sumerians and Assyrians were three different cultures that lived in that area of Mesopotamia. Mesopotamia was the region and sometimes it was dominated by one group of people. For example the Sumerians were probably the earliest people to occupy the Mesopotamian region possibly going back millennia even more than 3000 years BC!!. Their culture was most advanced in the third millennia BC with the exception of the Egyptian empire. Then the Akkadians came in and displace the Sumerians and they were eventually replaced by another group of people. After 2000 BC it became increasingly difficult to keep track of the many different people's that occupied the Mesopotamian region. It is a fascinating history and fortunately there are a lot of good videos on UA-cam about these different groups.
And a word of caution. Some channels get a lot of the details and times wrong when these various people became most influential and dominant. Consequently I check out several different sources over time and you begin to see who is competent and who isn't.

There is some controversy about the early history of the Sumerian people. The earliest known settlements in Mesopotamia were in 6500BC as stated, but the statement that it ended in 4100 BCE is categorically false as I have seen several sources that state otherwise. In fact the Sumerian culture reached its highest form in the 3rd milennia. There were eventually overcome by the Akkadians in about 2400 BCE. The Sumerians enjoyed a brief renaissance in 2100 BCE, but this only last for a century or so. The Cuniform was still used in religious text until 100 BCE almost 2000 years later!!
And that early Cuniform writing wasn't developed until later in the 3rd milennia BCE. It began with pictographs similar to Egyptian hieroglyphics. The pictographs evolved into Cuniform in the late 3rd milennia. At least that is the dates of the earliest tablets of Cuniform of which there were thousands as the Sumerians kept comprehensive records.
I'm interested in looking at details (as much as possible) about the people prior to Sumeria. Most stuff points at ancient aliens, and that's not my interest. I am interested in data.

@CaptivatingHistory I'm a first time viewer of your channel and I immediately noticed something you said at the beginning of your film you said "most scholars around the world agree that the ancient sumerians were the earliest developed civilization in our recorded history." It has me wondering if only most scholars believe that ancient sumerians were the earliest developed civilization, what do other scholars believe about our earliest developed civilizations or moreover our history?
There could always be a dissenting opinion, or even some difference of opinion about what civilisation is.
We have a sort of proto-city in Catal Huyuk in Turkey. That one is really interesting. It was a town of about 3,000 people. I'm trying to remember the details. Buildings were squarish shaped and tightly packed together. No streets, but they surrounded an open area used for refuse. Entrances were actually on the roof. No doors on ground level. There was early agriculture, and a lot of iconography surrounding bulls.
Then there's Jericho in Palestine, one of the world's oldest continually inhabited sites. I don't know much about that one.
At the same time a couple cultures in ancient China would have also been developing agriculture...
I'm pretty sure none of them were as sophisticated as the Sumerians at the time though. As the video explains, they were a culture of firsts. As to why, the narrative usually goes; is that agriculture required irrigiation in the region. Irrigation required organisation and division of labour. This leads to cities. Cities leads to trade, leads to accounting which needs numbers. numbers leads to writing. Which leads to records. And there you have a recognisable civilisation that's almost modern.
Some of their influence can be seen in the bible, particularly the flood narrative. Also they profoundly influenced the Greeks. For example, the planet associated with the goddess of love and war, Innana, is the planet we know of as Venus today, the goddess of love, and that's no accident.

linguists : J Chadwick, Michael, Ventris Γκάρεθ Όουενς, L. A. Waddel, Fr. Delitzsch,. konstantinos Chatzigianakhs agree that the sumerian writing is structural similar to Linear A and to ancient greek , it contains a plethora of greek words and it can help in the etymology of greek words tat are hard to etymologize
Since the first Sumerian signs of writing preceded the Minoan culture by a 1000 years if there is any similarities between the two it is because the Minoan culture adopted some of the language through contact with the Sumerians or another group nearby.
In addition to that language that Sumerians spoke is unlike any other language in the area which include of course the Minoans. The Cuniform script developed by the Sumerians was also picked up the Akkadians who conquered the Sumerians about 2270 bc again well before any sign of Linear b appeared.

@Noel Pytlik Where did you read that thing? Did you watch the video? They had Kings! Kings = Monarchy
Primitive human society does tend to be democratic. In some cases we do have evidence of communities being ruled by assembly, but this is only democratic in the very earliest and most primitive of settings. Once cities develop classes, and especially a priesthood, even "republican" cities would have been ruled by oligarchy. There are a few examples in ancient Mesopotamia of cities being ruled by kings who are said to be raised up by the people. In fact depending upon what title the ruler took, he was more or less proclaiming his authority as royal and divine (Lugal), or more representative (Ensi). So it is not true that there was no democratic traditions in ancient sumer, it's just they are very old and by the time stories like the Gilgamesh Epic are being composed, such primitive organizational structures are seen as whole inadequate.
What religion did they practice?
now Im in 7th grade I learned this in history a month ago ang the INDUS and SHANG
In 7th grade I was too busy trying to beat *Shang* Tsung to care about INDUS and SHANG.
Bet they didn't tell you these people were black.
All the these artifacts.... Where are they now? What museum stores these?
All around louvre museum in france and most of the tools and small ancient things are in The Iraqi Museum in baghdad and the Ancient buildings are still in it’s place all around Iraq
NOW I KNOW WHO TO BLAME FOR MAKING SCHOOL!
Same!! And office jobs too!
They also invented the pullout method
Yeah but where did they come from ?
they were created by God
the anunnaki seem like they hold the answers to these questions, but we most likely will never know what or who they were.
Why should they come from somewhere? Why don't you accept the fact that they are indigenous to southern Iraq
Which democracy?
Why is always hell and heaven mentioned in mytholgies of men even far away
Awesome stuff
Hi everyone may everyone be BLESSED and be a BLESSING
ancient world has me shook, many holy books from world religions seem to be history books of the ancient world annunaki and all that lelel
Why don’t they mention the sulfur explosion that happened in ancient Sumer
0:04 Lol Thise are Scythians! and this picture belongs to Persepolis!
I keep wondering why no one connects the Sumerians showing up in Mesopotamia with the water control technology, their non- Semetic langauge and culture, and flood myths stories with the fact they were most likely flooded out of the present day Persian Gulf by the 400ft sea level rise due to the post-ice age glaciers melting.
Very well made lecture!
What fascinated me reading these comments is so many people assume they are studying and have so much insight to history, or are you just begging for likes!
We in the west were /are dissuaded from these kinds of tales, by the church , wether true or false . My education was limited and brief. Basically I left knowing vert little if anything. Teacher's were to blame, no educating no anything , only violence , and top mark's for that module an A. Flip it, I educated myself went back to do a honours degree in applied social studies. The hunger for knowledge was greater than the violence.

THEY HAVE A EPIC NAMED THE IC OF GILGAMESH
Epic of Gilgamesh* we read it in my honors english class a couple months ago
yeah your right
Didn;t Drake from Blade Trinity come from Sumer ?
please show more OK!
You look very intersted aboutthe sumarian?
If somebody want to study sumerian language could start with kurdish language and it's dialects a book ( The Lost and Untold History of the Kurds) tells a lot. The Author used references from very ancient time. History of the region distorted by the political turmoils of the middle East in the last 1500 years
great video keep it up
Thanks, we appreciate your comment!
So if they were the first.. then who’s the people they were fighting with?.. as it says here..
Sumer was the first civilization, not the first culture or people.
FYI it’s not called the Persian Gulf … it’s Arabian Gulf
No, it's known more commonly as the Persian Gulf. Only a minority of peoples call it "Arabian gulf": en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_Gulf
I. Need the full script please
Seems like a lot of work goes into your videos, I only stumbled upon your channel by chance I hooked ilk are able to expand your audience seems so sad to put that level of effort out for little ret ( comparably)
i needed this for a 4 page-report
The Sumerians were the first civilization after Noah so they are the best connection with the preflood world.
Which noah in the American TV?
The Sumerians have been found living in the south Euphrates/Tigris region 6500 years BC!! Which means they preceded Noah.
There were stories of a flood(s) in this lower region 4000 years bc but those floods clearly only involved the local region. Those stories became myths some of which found their way to the Bible.
@@michaeldeierhoi4096 Thank you for this. Food for thought and educational. However, I think the Noah story is about 11,000 old so I take the Sumerians receiving a passed down story. I suspect Noah brought over many books and much learning which allowed their civilization to leap ahead quickly. I suspect their civilization is older than documented.
@@joycekoch5746 Thanks for responding back. It is of course very difficult to date occurences in the Bible such as the flood because of lack of reference points. But researchers will continue to look for clues to find a link.
Enki saved Noah because Noah was Enkis son. Enlil, Enkis older brother caused the great flood and destroyed Enkis creation...life here on Earth. So the slave god who wanted to keep mankind dumb and in controle was Enlil and his brother Enki wanted to give mankind, his creation, knowlege and freedom.

The Summerians Civilization was established after the flood of Noah A.S . Noah fought with Fallen Angels who had sex with Human Females where giants were born. Now Everybody has a question : How the Hell The Summerians were so advanced in every aspect of technology ? The answer is Simple that fallen angles taught them whom they called "Aliens" they taught them sorcery,astronomy etc. That's where "illumimatis" were born meaning people enlighted with knowledge than normal people. The Noah Kept on spreading God's message for 950 Years that don't worship aliens they are a test to you and Noah taught them to say "استغفر اللہ" that God will have mercy on them ( give them sons, making them land owners, giving them rivers and bounties of Earth and Skies) but they declined Noah's Message and started to preseve their seed in animals and plants then God said to Noah A.S to build Ark as i will open Gates of Skies and bring fourth the Global Flood that will wipe out all species except for what i order you to kept in Ark. Thats the real incident happend 1000s of years ago. The aliens their spaceships ufos noah ark they are all under the ice sheet of Antarctica. Thats why the world we are living is a hoax. Where money gets you things , tou have to study higher to get ajob then you amrry and you pay bills thats all bullshit. They are hiding the truth that aliens still rule the World. We are trapped in illumimati World.
Hahaha
Sumerians, 1st in about everything from drinking beer to laws, contracts, marriage, farming, calendar, 60 sec, 60 min, 24 hrs, math, calculus, and look at some of their statues, it shows the solar system, and it goes on and on.
Fact.... Sumerians KNEW about planet Pluto in 4000 BCE and Westerners DISCOVERED it 6000 YEARS later!
NASA could learn more from the sumerians and so could everyone else if they would only publish what these people were all about. Our school's do not teach this.
Calculus was invented by Newton in the 1600s. You mean basic arithmetic and basic geometry.
Thankyou for informing us. Very interesting. We should learn about the Sumerians in school and less about the Egyptians and Greeks.. ‼️
We should learn more about this culture in Church too
I am sooo sorry. Thank you for answering this question
Because I was told growing up that Egyptians were the first to introduce civilizationx. Beautiful architecture. Mathematic. Modification ( my disclaimer) Aristotle s philosophy before or after he was burned to the stakes.And many many more
.
Question : Does anyone know what
The dates are way off. The Sumerian Civilization began in 3200 BC and lasted until 2750 BC when it became the Mesopotamian Empire. The first city arose in 5000 BC, prior to that they were villages that emerged in 6000 BC.
Some Historians think thaat Sumerian civilization started in 4000 BC. But most popularly it was in 3500 BC.
4500 BC - Iraq/Kuwait
3500 BC - Syria and Palestine
3200 BC - Egypt
3000 BC - Turkey
2900 BC - Iran
2700 BC - Pakistan/Afghanistan and Crete
2600 BC - Bahrain/Qatar
2500 BC - Lebanon and Sudan

@@nikhilhembrom8952 Please explain? I'm an expert on history. What you say does not align with truth. I've always been curious, why do Hindus and Christian Nigerians always feel the urge to rally other people against Muslims?

What is Factors of sumerian art
Euhemerus reports that the ancient Greek Minoan Cretans, led by Zeus, had settled in Arabia, Persia, the islands of the Indian Ocean, the island of Paghaia, Mesopotamia, where much later they were called Sumerians, until the Black Sea. and settled as chalibes. By order of Cassander, Euhemerus traveled to the island of Paghaia in the Persian Gulf. In his work "Sacred Inscription" he describes the life of the inhabitants of this island, claiming that they were Cretans who were transferred there by order of Zeus himself and lived in Paghaia ( Socotra ) under a common ownership regime.Euhemerus implies this "inscription", that he read it on the altar of Panara, the capital of Paghaia and wrote that Uranus, Saturn and Zeus were kings of Paghaia ( Socotra )and were deified after their death.
I think ancient Sumerian civilization is the first before mesopotamia civilization after mesopotamian civilization is babylonian empire and then in our present time is iraq today.
sumerians came to in south iraq from central asia.

It is now clearly evident that sumerians spoke Turkic, the kenger turks to be precise, the zodiac map they introduced points geographically to their home land in Central Asia, their culture, religion, language and innovations can be traced through the ages by following the hittites, trojans, etruscans and native Americans particularly their language.
If anything the only real evident for a connection to another culture is South Indian dravidians, but even that is a weak link
The Sumerians according to S.K Chattergi, L. A. Waddel, Strabo had pelasgian and not semitic roots , they were conquered later by accadians and sumerians that kept sumeriam civilization and writing and developed it further.
🤺☦🇷🇺The Sumerians were the Cushite descendants, brothers and relatives of Nimrod👉
