    Sumerian Mythology
    Do you want to discover the Sumerian history and mythology that have inspired men and women around the world for thousands of years? Sumerian history and mythology have been shrouded in mystery for thousands of years. These tales of the world's very first civilization is now being exposed to the light of day, fascinating men and women around the world. The stories of Enlil, Enkidu, and Gilgamesh are finding new audiences, people interested in learning about a world where the people felt and experienced very differently from how we do today. Sumerian mythology was so powerful that some of their gods found their way into different cultures, the most famous example of this being Aphrodite who began life as the Sumerian goddess Inanna. Sumerian civilization has become an intrinsic part of how we live today, even if most of us are unaware of it. The way that we measure time, observe the stars, and even plant and grow crops has a lot to do with the advancements made by the Sumerians more than six thousand years ago. And heroes like Gilgamesh have helped define what it means to be a hero today. They were men who became gods, earning their place in immortality in more ways than one. The Sumerians used their stories as a way to instruct others and how they lived and even to help themselves understand their world. This book explores the tales of gods and heroes in a concise, easy-to-read fashion. These tales of heroes and gods were deeply important to the Mesopotamian people and learning about them is the only way to understand the kind of world they lived in and how it was different from our own. It was a world of birds with the faces of lions, gods with the wings of birds, and seductive goddesses who symbolically married the kings of the various city-states. The Sumerians told many tales of gods like Inanna, An, Ashur, and Enlil, tales that helped the civilizations of Mesopotamia endure for nearly 4000 years. Indeed, European travelers to the Orient in the 18th century discovered that there were still districts where the goddess Inanna (more than five thousand years old then) was still worshipped in secret. The world of the Sumerians was unlike our own. The people at the heart of Sumerian civilization - living in modern-day Iraq, Kuwait, Turkey, and other places - these people were part of a culture so far removed from the way that we think and perceive today as to be almost unrecognizable. This book gives you the binoculars to view their world. It was a world of great empires: the Akkadian, Hurrian, Assyrian, and Babylonian. It was a world of legendary wealth and beauty. In Sumerian Myth, you will understand this world by gaining a summary of the major historical events and an in-depth exposure to the gods. You will learn about the Gilgamesh and Enkidu, the Anzu bird, who the major gods and goddesses were, who the important heroes were, and how Sumerian society left a legacy that continues with us today. Poets and historians recorded Mesopotamian tales on cuneiform tablets, but we have made the deciphering work easy for you.

    Ancient Astronauts: The Gods from Planet X, Hörbuch, Digital, 187min
    Do the stories in the Bible and other sacred texts speak of Gods or Extraterrestrials? The history of the human race and our true origins of where we come from can be traced back through archeology and a careful study of our past. Many of the world’s ancient sites and amazing artifacts still exist, showing ancient man’s use of advanced technology - but how was this knowledge gained? In the early 1900's British archeologists began excavations in the ancient Sumerian city of UR. They discovered thousands of clay tablets, which detailed a time when the first civilized people, the ancient Sumerians, lived amongst their gods, which they called the "Anunnaki." They left many wall carvings showing their interaction with these beings depicting them with wings or coming down from heaven on winged disks. Wherever archaeologists unearthed these artifacts, the symbol of the winged disk was conspicuous, dominating temples and palaces, carved on rocks, etched on cylinder seals, painted on walls. It accompanied kings and priests, stood above their thrones, "hovered" above them in battle scenes, and was etched into their chariots. The ancient Sumerians knew of the planet of the gods, called "Nibiru" now known as the "12th Planet" and understood that this planet had an elliptical orbit returning to the earth’s proximity every 360,000 years. The Sumerian sign for the 12th planet the "Planet of the Crossing," was a cross. The ancient Sumerians not only expected the periodic crossing of this 12th planet with the earth but charted its advancing course as they wanted to prepare for the coming rains and flooding as the strong gravitational effects of Nibiru created havoc on earth. Mesopotamian and Hebrew prophets considered Nibiru approaching Earth and becoming visible to mankind as ushering in a new era. Learn of a time when there were "Giants upon the earth" and see the actual evidence and artifacts from a time when man lived amongst his living gods! Language: English. Narrator: Jason Martell.

    Ancients Astronauts: Our Extraterrestrial Legacy, Hörbuch, Digital, 152min
    Dating to the fifth millennium BC, Sumerian civilization emerged seemingly out of nowhere, with no predecessor, in the land that is now southern Iraq. It has been known as Mesopotamia, Babylon, and Akkadia, but the Sumerians were the first culture to inhabit the land. We attribute to the Sumerians over 100 of the firsts needed for an advanced civilization. From the wheel to the first known form of writing called "cuneiform", the Sumerians also divided the heavens into 12 parts, assigning each section of the sky a symbol. They were the first civilization to practice organized agriculture, the use of a specialized labor force, and much more. It’s clear that a vast body of knowledge emanated from the Sumerian people, but where did they learn these things? In the early 1900s, British archeologists began excavations in the ancient Sumerian city of Ur. They discovered thousands of clay tablets, which detailed a time when the Sumerian people lived amongst their gods, which they called the "Anunnaki". They left many wall carvings showing their interaction with these beings, depicting them with wings or coming down from heaven on winged disks. Amazingly, the tablets detail not only what the planets look like from above, but the distance between the planets in our solar system, including Pluto, which was not discovered until 1930. They also detail a planet called "Nibiru”, the planet from which they came, the planet of the gods. It is now clear that many biblical tales have a much earlier version recorded in stone, still preserved to this day from the Sumerian legacy. From the concept of Angels, the original story of the flood, to the true story of Adam and Eve, what the clay tablets reveal about the human race is utterly astounding. Learn of a time when there were "Giants upon the earth" and see the actual evidence and artifacts from a time when man lived amongst his living gods!
