The foundations of ancient Chaldea, were laid as long ago as 5000 B.C. and were as early as those of ancient Egypt. In fact they were the sister colonies with a common cultural heritage. The earliest civilized inhabitants were Sumerians and the land was full of city-states. As with all great cultures they had many myths and legends. One of their legends is about THE GIANT OF THE FLOOD, and the story goes thus?. Just before the world was drowned all the animals gathered in front of the Ark and Father Noah carefully inspected them. Then he said to them "All you that enter and lie down shall be saved from the deluge that is about to destroy the world." Then the various creatures began to march forward into the Ark. Father Noah watched them closely. He seemed troubled and wondered where if the unicorn would make it. Og, a giant, not like by Noah offered to find it for him. But Noah turned down Og?s offer of assistance, considering Og to be one of the giants which were descended from Heaven?s fallen angels. Then the rain started to fall when the time came the unicorn had not appeared and Noah was forced to shut the door of the ark. Og went and sat atop a mountain to wait out the deluge. Did Og and the unicorn make it through the great flood? Well you?ll have to download the story to find out just what happened.

Book Synopsis Sumerian Mythology by : Samuel Noah Kramer
Download or read book Sumerian Mythology written by Samuel Noah Kramer and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on 1944-01-01 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sumerians were a non-Semitic, non-Indo-European people who flourished in southern Babylonia from the beginning of the fourth to the end of the third millennium B. C. During this long stretch of time the Sumerians, whose racial and linguistic affiliations are still unclassifiable, represented the dominant cultural group of the entire Near East. This cultural dominance manifested itself in three directions: 1. It was the Sumerians who developed and probably invented the cuneiform system of writing which was adopted by nearly all the peoples of the Near East and without which the cultural progress of western Asia would have been largely impossible. 2. The Sumerians developed religious and spiritual concepts together with a remarkably well integrated pantheon which influenced profoundly all the peoples of the Near East, including the Hebrews and the Greeks. Moreover, by way of Judaism, Christianity, and Mohammedanism, not a few of these spiritual and religious concepts have permeated the modern civilized world. 3. The Sumerians produced a vast and highly developed literature, largely poetic in character, consisting of epics and myths, hymns and lamentations, proverbs and "words of wisdom." These compositions are inscribed in cuneiform script on clay tablets which date largely from approximately 1750 B. C. a In the course of the past hundred years, approximately five b thousand such literary pieces have been excavated in the mounds of ancient Sumer. Of this number, over two thousand, more than two-thirds of our source material, were excavated by the University of Pennsylvania in the mound covering ancient Nippur in the course of four grueling campaigns lasting from 1889 to 1900; these Nippur tablets and fragments represent, therefore, the major source for the reconstruction of the Sumerian compositions. As literary products, these Sumerian compositions rank high among the creations of civilized man. They compare not unfavorably with the ancient Greek and Hebrew masterpieces, and like them mirror the spiritual and intellectual life of an otherwise little known civilization. Their significance for a proper appraisal of the cultural and spiritual development of the Near East can hardly be overestimated. The Assyrians and Babylonians took them over almost in toto. The Hittites translated them into their own language and no doubt imitated them widely. The form and contents of the Hebrew literary creations and to a certain extent even those of the ancient Greeks were profoundly influenced by them. As practically the oldest written literature of any significant amount ever uncovered, it furnishes new, rich, and unexpected source material to the archaeologist and anthropologist, to the ethnologist and student of folklore, to the students of the history of religion and of the history of literature.
Book Synopsis The Garden of Eden Myth by : Walter Mattfeld
Download or read book The Garden of Eden Myth written by Walter Mattfeld and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholarly proposals are presented for the pre-biblical origin in Mesopotamian myths of the Garden of Eden story. Some Liberal PhD scholars (1854-2010) embracing an Anthropological viewpoint have proposed that the Hebrews have recast earlier motifs appearing in Mesopotamian myths. Eden's garden is understood to be a recast of the gods' city-gardens in the Sumerian Edin, the floodplain of Lower Mesopotamia. It is understood that the Hebrews in the book of Genesis are refuting the Mesopotamian account of why Man was created and his relationship with his Creators (the gods and goddesses). They deny that Man is a sinner and rebel because he was made in the image of gods and goddesses who were themselves sinners and rebels, who made man to be their agricultural slave to grow and harvest their food and feed it to them in temple sacrifices thereby ending the need of the gods to toil for their food in the city-gardens of Edin in ancient Sumer.
