Translation of Sumerian Tablets
| Located in the southernmost part of Mesopotamia, in a fertile land between Tigris and Euphrates rivers, Sumer was the earliest known civilization and was considered to be the cradle of civilization. The Sumerian language which is very similar to the Akkadian, Babylonians and Assyrian language, beside some minor differences in the dialect, was said to be unrelated to any other language in the world and the people who spoke the language were non-Semitic. However, this speculation was based on some theories of some earlier scholars in the field of Assyriology and archeology, who had no knowledge of the language spoken by the Mesopotamian people. Julius Oppert a French-German Assyriologist, who was born in Hamburg Germany to a Jewish family created the theory of a non-Semitic people existed in southern Mesopotamia prior to the Akkadians and their language was a non-Semitic and unrelated to any other language. However, the Archeologist believe that the Sumerian people when naming a person or a place, the name would have meaning to it. I have gathered and deciphered some of the ancient Sumerian names and writings. The findings opposes the idea and the theory of Mr. Julius Oppert, declaring that the Sumerian language is not related to the Akkadians, Babylonians and Assyrian language. The fact is the conglomerate tribes mentioned above are the same people of one nation called Mesopotamia, whose language, religion and culture is identical. The political procedure of Sumer was independent city-states such as Ur, Uruk, Larsa, Kish, Erech, Eridu, Nippur and Sippar. Each city had a temple dedicated to a given god or goddess, such as god Enki his temple was located at Eridu, god Enlil at Nippur, the moon god Sin at Ur and goddess Innana her temple was located at Uruk. Each city was ruled by a highly qualified religious person called Dingir. The Sumerian civilization influenced other civilizations such as Akkadians, Babylonians, Assyrians, Egyptians and other civilizations Sumerian Tablet VS 14095 Column 1 Line 4 Sumerian Words Ninhursag Gudea Tablet Gudea Tablet 2 Dingir Sin Tablet |
