The Sumerian Civilization

Description

The Sumerian civilization did not descend from the heavens, nor did it migrate from elsewhere on Earth to settle in southern Iraq. Rather, it is the offspring of the prehistoric civilizations of Mesopotamia, gradually developing its awareness and maturation, patiently and quietly weaving the beginnings of civilizational systems in all fields to form the first human civilization, thus inaugurating the long course of human history.

It is a civilization of beginnings, origins, and first discoveries; it is the gem of the primordial human spirit. This comprehensive book explores all aspects of this civilization, focusing on its profound human dimension and chronicling its rare uniqueness.

The ten chapters of this book are filled with meticulous details and information about the history and facets of this civilization in politics, society, economics, religion, culture, literature, science, and the arts. It is an indispensable guide in this field and the only book that addresses the Sumerian civilization with such a broad perspective.

While the author has become increasingly versed in his previous works on the history of civilizations and religions, here he presents a rare book that delves into the depths of the first historical civilization, searching its foundations for the seeds of the origins upon which subsequent ancient civilizations were built, through their creative reproduction.

This book will be a comprehensive guide to Sumerian civilization, born from the author’s extensive experience in this field. It is his sixth book on Sumer and aspects of its civilization, but here it expands profoundly on all facets of its culture, thus becoming the first book in the Arabic library on what the author calls “the civilization of origins.”

The Sumerian civilization is the first civilization in the world and the dawn of the historical era that followed prehistory. It is a “civilization of origins” in every sense of the word, for it was the civilization of the first discoveries and inventions upon which subsequent world civilizations were built. Emerging from a remote location in southern Iraq, it wove an original civilization over 1500 years, the elements of which quickly spread to the surrounding peoples. It served as the nucleus and radiant center of ancient civilizations. The book includes an in-depth explanation of the following:
