Description
This book presents us with a unique view of Sumer and its civilization, the cradle of humankind’s earliest spiritual and material origins. It offers a comprehensive presentation and analysis of four fundamental pillars of Sumerian civilization, the first human civilization in recorded history. These pillars are: 1. Historiography: The author traces the origins of the Sumerians, presenting several theories about their origins, investigating their migrations, and outlining their historical development from village to city to state to empire. 2. Mythology: The author classifies Sumerian gods and myths on new scientific foundations, presenting and analyzing them, revealing the many intellectual and spiritual treasures they hold, and drawing up an extensive genealogical tree exclusively for the Sumerian deities. 3. Theology: This section offers an in-depth study of Sumerian religious ideas and doctrines through twelve main themes, linking them to their corresponding myths and rituals. 4. Rituals: This section presents daily, ceremonial, and periodic rituals and ceremonies, as well as mystery rituals (magic, divination, astrology, and dream interpretation).
