A fascinating collection of epic tales from one of our earliest civilizations. Undiscovered until 200 years ago, the myths and stories of Sumer, with King lists earlier than the Ancient Egyptians, reveal a rich culture of city states, each with their own gods, tales of floods, gods and the division between earth, the heavens and the Netherworld.
A new collection of epic tales from the crucible of civilization, in the pocket between the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers where language, astronomy, religion and mythology grew from one of the earliest civilizations known to humankind. Undiscovered until 200 years ago, the myths and stories of Sumer, with King lists earlier than the Ancient Egyptians, reveal a rich culture of city states, each with their own gods, with tales of great floods, mighty gods, the origins of humans and the division between earth, the heavens and the Netherworld.
