Resumen del Editor
Discover the secrets of the Sumerian civilization and their gods
The annotations includes:
- Author biography of Samuel Noah Kramer
- The history of Sumer, their culture, kings, and how they disappeared
The Sumerians are widely regarded as the first people to develop civilization in the sense that modern humans understand the term. They were pioneers in a variety of fields, including language, government, architecture, and more. Before the Babylonians took control in 2004 BC, they ruled the region for close to 2,000 years, during which time they were successful in maintaining their dominance.
In Sumerian culture, schools were widespread, and they represent the earliest widespread attempt to disseminate knowledge in order to maintain and advance a community.
The Sumerians left behind a large number of written documents, but they are best known for their epic poetry, which had a profound impact on subsequent Greek and Roman writers as well as portions of the Bible, particularly the tales of the Great Flood, Eden, and the Tower of Babel. The world's oldest musically notated song, "Hurrian Hymn No. 6," is thought to have been composed by the musically oriented Sumerians.
The book will cover the Sumerian myths of Origins, Myths of Kur as well as other miscellaneous myths including: the deluge, The mariage of Martu, Inianna prefers the farmer.
About the Author:
Samuel Noah Kramer was a distinguished Assyriologist who was an authority on Sumerian history as well as the Sumerian language. He was born on September 28, 1897, and passed away on November 26, 1990.
After graduating from high school, he enrolled at Temple University in Philadelphia, then went on to Dropsie College and Penn University.
His contributions are widely regarded as having had a significant impact on the academic study of Sumerian history. Through the publication of his best-selling book History Begins at Sumer, he brought Sumerian literature to the attention of the general public.

Historia
There are few things more in common across cultures than the belief in ghosts. Ghosts inhabit something of the very essence of what it is to be human. Whether we personally 'believe' or not, we are all aware of ghosts and the rich mythologies and rituals surrounding them. They have inspired, fascinated and frightened us for centuries - yet most of us are only familiar with the vengeful apparitions of Shakespeare, or the ghastly spectres haunting the pages of 19th-century Gothic literature. But their origins are much, much older.

This audiobook includes tales of gods and goddesses, both major and minor, as well as kings and heroes, both historical and mythical. One such king is the hero of what many scholars believe to be the first written epic: Gilgamesh. In addition to creating connections between the human world and the divine, Sumerian myths explain how the world came to be in the first place. These myths establish the cosmic order, which places the greater gods, or Annunaki, at the top of the hierarchy, with the lesser gods, or Igigi, below them.

Historia
Civilization was born 8,000 years ago, between the floodplains of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, when migrants from the surrounding mountains and deserts began to create increasingly sophisticated urban societies. In the cities that they built, half of human history took place. In Babylon, Paul Kriwaczek tells the story of Mesopotamia from the earliest settlements seven thousand years ago to the eclipse of Babylon in the sixth century BCE. Bringing the people of this land to life in vibrant detail, the author chronicles the rise and fall of power during this period.

Historia
The secretive Mysteries conducted at Eleusis in Greece for nearly two millennia have long puzzled scholars with strange accounts of initiates experiencing otherworldly journeys. In this groundbreaking work, three experts - a mycologist, a chemist, and a historian - argue persuasively that the sacred potion given to participants in the course of the ritual contained a psychoactive entheogen. The authors then expand the discussion to show that natural psychedelic agents have been used in spiritual rituals across history and cultures.

Given the abundance of funerary artifacts that have been found within the sands of Egypt, it sometimes seems as though the Ancient Egyptians were more concerned with the matters of the afterlife than they were with matters of the life they experienced from day to day. This is underscored most prominently by the pyramids, which have captured the world’s imagination for centuries.

Do you know that the Sumerians believed that: The moon was actually a god child conceived unintentionally by the God Enlil and a maid? Or that humans were first created to do the chores on earth for the Gods and Goddesses? The ancient Sumerians lived a difficult life, and this is reflected in their myths. However, also reflected in their stories is their love for justice and the values which they most supported, among them beauty, honor, and truthfulness.

Historia
Do you know that the Sumerians believed that: The moon was actually a god child conceived unintentionally by the God Enlil and a maid? Or that humans were first created to do the chores on earth for the Gods and Goddesses? The ancient Sumerians lived a difficult life, and this is reflected in their myths. However, also reflected in their stories is their love for justice and the values which they most supported, among them beauty, honor, and truthfulness.

This audiobook includes tales of gods and goddesses, both major and minor, as well as kings and heroes, both historical and mythical. One such king is the hero of what many scholars believe to be the first written epic: Gilgamesh. In addition to creating connections between the human world and the divine, Sumerian myths explain how the world came to be in the first place. These myths establish the cosmic order, which places the greater gods, or Annunaki, at the top of the hierarchy, with the lesser gods, or Igigi, below them.

Historia
Mesopotamia is the ancient name for the region that is now Iraq, a remarkably advanced civilization that flourished for two-thirds of the time that civilization has existed on Earth. Mesopotamians mastered irrigation agriculture; built the first complex urban societies; developed writing, literature, and law; and united vast regions through warfare and diplomacy. While civilizations like Greece and Rome have an unbroken tradition of written histories, the rich history of Mesopotamia has only been recently rediscovered, thanks to the decipherment of Mesopotamia's cuneiform writing less than 200 years ago.

These 1028 poems, grouped as 10 ‘Circles’ (mandalas), have variously been called hymns, poems or songs by Sanskrit scholars. The Rik (so pronounced by the ancient Angirases clans, or Seer-Priest families) was an experiment with sound. The emphasis is always on sounding the words perfectly. The focus tends to be on the ideas rather than on the authors in Vedic literature, they are largely religious in nature, reflecting the world view and spiritual preoccupations of ancient India.

At its height in 660 BCE, the kingdom of Assyria stretched from the Mediterranean Sea to the Persian Gulf. It was the first empire the world had ever seen. Here, historian Eckart Frahm tells the epic story of Assyria and its formative role in global history. Assyria’s wide-ranging conquests have long been known from the Hebrew Bible and later Greek accounts. But nearly two centuries of research now permit a rich picture of the Assyrians and their empire beyond the battlefield.

The Sumerians settled in the area known as Mesopotamia, between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, around 5,000 years ago. They produced many fundamental changes to the way in which human societies developed - these were the first city-builders, the first people to use wheeled vehicles, the first methodical astronomers, and the first people to develop a sophisticated written language. The Sumerians also produced art, music, and literature as well as created some of the first professional soldiers the world had ever seen.

Historia
The sheer importance of Sumerian culture in regards to world culture as a whole is impossible to overstate. This civilization is single-handedly responsible for some of the most major innovations in nearly every field relevant to maintaining a civilized society - this includes religion, lawmaking, architecture, schooling, art, literature, and even entertainment. Naturally, most of what we see as negative aspects of society were established in ancient Sumer as well. There wasn’t an aspect of Sumerian life that wasn’t plagued with corruption or devastation of one form or another.

Mythistorical
Originally, when I got this book I had expected nothing but mythology, and when Half the book was Summarian history I got a little miffed. You know, false advertising and all that. Planned on slapping it with a 3 over all because it was misleading, but I listened to it and it is well written and evokes some thinking. I would have gone higher in my score, BUT I felt the actual myth portions were too small/short and could have used a little punch to make it more interesting, maybe that's the narrator's fault. I don't know, I think the narration was solid but it maybe needed some more Juice to really elevate the book. Also, the Book is Sumerian Mythology, but then it also says Myths and HISTORY of Ancient Mesopotamia, so I shouldn't have felt like there was a bait and switch going on. Its pretty good. If you are interested in mythology or ancient history then you'll enjoy this.

misleading title
the book is great for historians but the title is misleading. you don't even begin to cover any myths until chapter 7 of 9. Personally I love history but for the people who want just the mythology, it is not so great. The biggest mistake the book formatting people made was the author notes, life, and what should be the footnotes are at the beginning of this book not in the back of book where references are supposed to go.

very interesting book
For the most part I enjoyed this book. There is a lot of background information given that is quite fascinating. I got a little lost when it came to the myths. Some of the unfamiliar names sound similar and I lost track of which god was which.

Sumerian Mythology
The first half of the book is an in-depth explanation of Sumerian culture which provides a great framework for understanding the myths that follow. In addition, each story is accompanied by notes providing context and noting passages that lack a reliable translation. I found this book fascinating, and I have gained a much deeper understanding of the topic than that with which I began.
I received a free Audible copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Great book, awful narration. Awful whistle sound on each “s”. Very distracting.
I don’t know how others haven’t commented on the whistle sound the narrator makes with each “s”. It’s especially awful when a word ends in “s”. Almost unable to listen to the book. It is so distractin

A Brief but Complete Collection of Sumerian Myth
I enjoyed this collection. It covers a brief accounting of the history and culture and then a fairly complete collection of the myths and key heroes, gods and goddesses who figure in Sumerian mythology, organized by section, beginning with creation myths and includes actual translations to the extent that the tablets had been translated at the time of writing.
I found that there are many similarities to the myths and legends of other cultures and it is interesting to note how they differ as well as where they are the same.
If you have an interest in folklore and mythology or in ancient history, this is a good primer.

Interesting short story compilation
I am a fan of all mythologies because they are fun, often crazy but can provide some insights to specific cultures. I knew nothing about the Sumerians going into this book but I learned a lot about this ancient civilization. The narration is very well done.

I really love this audiobook series!
It's not the first time I listen one book from this publisher, and all I can say is they are great. They just bring us sometimes forgotten classics and record them in a fresh mode. The result, a really invaluable treasure.
I really enjoy reading / listening about sumerian mythology. I'm completely a fan.

Painful
I hate to say it, but the narration is so bad I can't bear to finish it. I'm just gonna wait some years for a better version. Mainly because there is no Sumerian mythology audio book available that's both well written, and well read. Also the accuracy of translation is bound to improve, and missing pieces of stories may turn up.
