Billy Wellman - The Sumerian Civilization- An Enthralling Overview of Sumer and the Ancient Sumerians (epub)

In most of us lies a tinge of an adventurous spirit. We crave to investigate the mysterious, the aloof, the unknown. Few of us will ever have the chance to physically follow through on those thoughts. Luckily for us, the busy, technology-driven, and commercialized lives that we are caught up in also provide us with the means to satisfy that conscious or subconscious craving.

Through books and film, we can satisfy our curiosity and enrich our minds. History, as a whole, and ancient history, in particular, is often more mysterious and awe-inspiring than fiction. The higher goal of learning about history, though, is that it should ultimately teach us not to repeat humanity’s past mistakes.

Modern ways of cooperation between many different fields of science have clarified much ancient historical data, most of which is relevant today. For example, climate change is a pressing issue today. Palaeobotanists, archaeologists, and other researchers have discovered that our ancient forbearers, without industrialization and large-scale pollution, dealt with climate change on several occasions and thrived again afterward.

With this book, we would like to draw you into the surprisingly sophisticated world of the ancient Sumerians. Reckoned for centuries to be the first people to develop civilization, they flourished at the dawn of history between the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers. They lived, made merry, were sad, and were afraid. They learned, worked, worshiped, fought, and made peace. They invented practical solutions and tools, developed ideas and explanations, and manufactured products from raw materials without external aid or prior knowledge.
