4,000 years ago, Mesopotamian king Iddin-Dagan engaged in a massive public event to bring fertility to the land, culminating in his public copulation with a temple priestess.

Women in Ancient Mesopotamia

The lives of women in ancient Mesopotamia cannot be characterized as easily as with other civilizations owing to the different cultures over time. Generally speaking, though, Mesopotamian women had almost equal rights, could own businesses, buy and sell land, live on their own, initiate divorce, and, though officially secondary to men, found ways to assert their autonomy.

"Examining the evolution of kingship in the Ancient Near East from the time of the Sumerians to the rise of the Seleucids in Babylon, this book argues that the Sumerian emphasis on the divine favour that the fertility goddess and the Sun god bestowed upon the king should be understood metaphorically from the start and that these metaphors survived in later historical periods, through popular literature including the Epic of Gilgameš and the Enuma Eliš. The author’s research shows that from the earliest times Near Eastern kings and their scribes adapted these metaphors to promote royal legitimacy in accordance with legendary exempla that highlighted the role of the king as the establisher of order and civilization. As another Gilgameš and, later, as a pious servant of Marduk, the king renewed divine favour for his subjects, enabling them to share the 'Garden of the Gods'. Seleucus and Antiochus found these cultural ideas, as they had evolved in the first millennium BCE, extremely useful in their efforts to establish their dynasty at Babylon. Far from playing down cultural differences, the book considers the ideological agendas of ancient Near Eastern empires as having been shaped mainly by class — rather than race-minded elites."

Table of Contents

Introduction: Laying the groundwork / Dying kings in the ANE: Gilgameš and his travels in the garden of power / Sacred marriage in the ANE: the collapse of the garden and its aftermath / Renewing the cosmos: garden and goddess in first millennium ideology / The Seleucids at Babylon: flexing traditions and reclaiming the garden / Synthesis: cultivating community memory.

Ancient Mesopotamia was the birthplace of some of history’s greatest empires. All of them had to contend with the mysterious Gutians, a nomadic nation of deadly raiders.

Although traditional science believes this to be simply absurd, a great deal of evidence has been found worldwide that supports the ancient alien theory. Perhaps the most critical connection between the emergence of civilization and alien beings can be found in the very history of humanity, hidden in ancient manuscripts and clay tablets that have survived for thousands of years.

Traditional scholars believe that not everything written on the Sumerian Kings List is accurate. They often claim that the Sumerian Kings list is a mix of prehistoric and mythological accounts, which speak of gods who ruled the Earth, enjoying absurdly long reigns. But suppose we travel half a world, from ancient Mesopotamia to the Americas. In that case, we will discover how the sacred book of the old Maya, Popol Vuh, describes the beings who created humanity.

The creators of our race in Popol Vuh are referred to in the texts as:

 The Creator

The Ancients

The First

The Dominator

Those Who Created

Those Who Gave Life

Those Who Hovered Over Water Like Light Aurora

Although these ancient texts, mentioned above, are extraordinary, perhaps even more so are the countless artifacts that have been found scattered across the globe, representing beings frighteningly similar to modern astronauts. And while speaking of astronauts, Al Worden (February 7, 1932 – March 18, 2020), former astronaut and member of the Apollo 15 mission, had something fascinating to say about alien life while speaking with Good Morning Britain.

Al Worden was an American astronaut and engineer who was the pilot of the Endeavor Command Module during the Apollo 15 Lunar Mission in 1971. He is one of 24 people who went to the Moon between 1969 and 1972. The ex-astronaut is also listed in the Guinness book of world records as “the most isolated human being,” after spending six days alone orbiting the Moon, completing 75 laps around him.

While speaking to Good Morning Britain, Al Worden was asked if he believed the aliens were real, and his response surprised everyone who watched the interview. The former Apollo 15 member said that the aliens are accurate and came to Earth in the distant past and created our civilization. If we want to look for evidence, we have to look at ancient Sumerian literature.

“We are the aliens, but we think that they are other people. But we were the ones who came from somewhere else because someone had to survive, and they got into their little spaceships and came over here and landed, and then started civilization here. And if you don’t believe me, get books on the ancient Sumerians and see what they have to say. They will explain it to you right away.”

Sumerians is on sale- for people who like city builders and SPECIFICALLY like ones that handle ancient times and cultures, this one is very promising as Early Access games go.

You do pay your citizens/workers with wheat, beer, and other staples rather than coin, which I always really appreciate, I've played several hours and managed in past updates to get a moderate sized city going.

There is no warfare as such yet, and I forget if they'll be adding that to the game, but people do feel safer if you have walls around their neighborhood/nearby, and so on.
