Product Description:
Book Description:

"The Sumerians were a non-Semitic, non-Indo-European people who lived in southern Babylonia from 4000-3000 B.C.E. They invented cunieform writing, and their spiritual beliefs influenced all successive Near Eastern religions, including Judaism, Christianity and Islam. They produced an extensive body of literature, among the oldest in the world. Samuel Noah Kramer spent most of his life studying this literature, by piecing together clay tablets in far-flung museums. This short work gives translations or summaries of the most important Sumerian myths." (Quote from sacred-texts.com)

Customer Reviews

poor republication quality control 2 out of 5 stars
This historic work by a pioneer in the field has been republished with new typesetting - and errors galore. Entire paragraphs and sections appear out of place. It takes a Kramer to reconstitute the original flow. Editor's pre-printing notes and instructions remain in the text. Find a used copy.
