Sumerians oldest civilization on earth????????

[sumerian aliens]

The Sumerians are one of the oldest known civilizations in the world. The lived in southern Mesopotamia (now the land south of Iraq) as early asSumeria as depicted in artistic rendition by Dawn Razor. 5000 to 6000 BC. The Sumerian language is not related to any language on earth today. According to Sumerian legend, they were brought to earth by their god ENKI and settled in the land of ERIDU. Their largest city was UR, with a population of over 24,000. The epic of Gilgamesh is a Sumerian story.

The Sumerians were highly intelligent are are believed to have developed the first written language, tools, the wheel, sail boats and a system of mathematics.

Do you think that ENKI are the aliens that brought us here.

The patriarch of Islam, Judaism, and Christianity was a Sumerian called Abraham, or Ibrahim, and he was from the lands outside of Ur. His father and brothers moved into the city and adopted the city's gods, but Abe stayed outside, and was approached by the desert god El (Elohim, Allah, Yahweh, Jehovah, etc).

I think that the tradition that Elohim picked up a handful of dirt to make Man is just as good as the ENKI bringing mankind, eh?

 

[Thought]

First, it is debatable as to if the Fertile Crescent produced the oldest civilization on Earth. Sumeria and Egypt via for that position and every few decades new evidence comes to light pushing the start one or the other back. Though to note, civilization in both places started to develop far earlier than 6000 B.C.E. (last I heard, 18,000 B.C.E. was a likely starting date for Egypt).

Second, the Sumerian language is related to languages on earth today; it’s a Semitic language and shares a common ancestry with Hebrew (among other languages).

Third, aliens are utterly unnecessary. Genetically speaking, humans can be traced back on this planet quite nicely. Alien's bringing us here would have been totally unnecessary and does not fit the evidence. Perhaps they might have brought civilization, but again, the evidence shows a slow development over time, whereas aliens would cause one to expect rapid changes. Thus, if aliens were around, they did a very poor job of, well, everything.

So no, Enki is just a mythological figure, not an alien.

Well, Actually, there are many different Mesopotamian creation myths. Humans were actually created on Earth according to one about Ea (also known as Enki) the god of deep waters and Nintu, the lady of births. Enki gave Nintu "the idea" of creating humans. At first she created many different defective prototypes until the androgynous Adamas was created.

The Sumerians say that Kingship was bestowed from Heaven:

"1-39. After the kingship descended from heaven, the kingship was in Eridug. In Eridug, Alulim became king; he ruled for 28800 years. Alalĝar ruled for 36000 years. 2 kings; they ruled for 64800 years. Then Eridug fell and the kingship was taken to Bad-tibira. In Bad-tibira, En-men-lu-ana ruled for 43200 years. En-men-gal-ana ruled for 28800 years. Dumuzid, the shepherd, ruled for 36000 years. 3 kings; they ruled for 108000 years. Then Bad-tibira fell (?) and the kingship was taken to Larag. In Larag, En-sipad-zid-ana ruled for 28800 years. 1 king; he ruled for 28800 years. Then Larag fell (?) and the kingship was taken to Zimbir. In Zimbir, En-men-dur-ana became king; he ruled for 21000 years. 1 king; he ruled for 21000 years. Then Zimbir fell (?) and the kingship was taken to Å*uruppag. In Å*uruppag, Ubara-Tutu became king; he ruled for 18600 years. 1 king; he ruled for 18600 years. In 5 cities 8 kings; they ruled for 241200 years. Then the flood swept over."

In some ways it seems that civilization was established from celestial origins in that complex sedentary settlements just seem to begin to pop up as in the site of Jericho (9,000BC), in which there were mudbrick structures and fortification walls. Before permenant settlements were established people were living in semi-permenant ones like Shanidar cave (paleolithic) ... which was really just a cave.

There are many mysterious to pre-history, namely as to why humans had lived as hunter-gatherers for 9/10ths of their existence and then suddenly began to set up permenant settlements based on the unreliable method of rain-fall agriculture. One theory is that they were told to do so. Of course, the other mystery is why Homo-sapiens suddenly appeared and Neanderthals whithered away around the same time as permenant settlements begin to appear.

Some have actually suggested that Sumerian Cunieform is related to Chinese and Japanese pictographic script. In Japan there are pottery sherds which date back all the way to the "Jomon Period" approximately 16,000 BC which have similar decorative patterns as Mesopotamian Samarra ware from about 5,500 BC.

Also it is interesting to note that the Japanese Sun Goddess is called Amaterasu and the Egyptian Sun God is Aman-Ra. One synchronicity between ancient Egypt and ancient Japan I have also noticed besides the above mentioned is that the Egyptian Kings would have an official called a "Sandal Bearer" accompany them on horseback campaigns as would the Ancient Japanese.

Basically all creation myths the world over say that we were created by beings from the sky which made us in their image. I do not think they were physical beings though, but rather spirit or energy beings which could condense their energy into solid matter at will - this would also explain why today there are so many sitings of UFO's but never any actual physical evidense.

Also, just note that Ur only reached that population level around 3,000BC. And that Eridu is a Sumerian city with vast temple complexes.
