Sumerian texts have been translated by many over the centuries. Not just one.
Have gone though Finkle studies over the years, but will watch in hopes it triggers the almonds.
Thanks for tips on E7 channel, with the Sumerian texts/articfacts coming before the 'bible' this is the dig I am stuck in. Again, many thanks, fren.
It is interesting the receipts they had for children even back then…
Why an ancient Mesopotamian tablet is key to our future learning | Tiffany Jenkins |
In our ephemeral, digital world where everything is mediated through a computer screen and summoned by the click of a mouse, ancient objects in dusty old museums are essential to future of learning. In the late eighteenth century, a clay fragment from a piece of the world’s oldest literature overturned orthodoxies and advanced knowledge of the past. It’s an important lesson: evidence from the past will help us to rethink what we know which is never complete. Ancient history and the tangible artifact - something real, not virtual - will take us out of the cloud and bring us back down to earth.

This talk is on the 'flood' which predates the 'bible' and how tangible artifacts link our true history covid hits many places shut down, so our only access is through the net now.
Destroy art history, that culture is eradicated and forgotten.
Never stop learning or asking questions. Ever.
