Sumerian Mythology 1944, Revised 1961

he Sumerians were descendents of the original Atumite and Cutite people who lived in southern Babylonia from 4000-3000 B.C.E. They invented cunieform writing, and their spiritual beliefs influenced all of today's modern religions, including Judaism, Christianity and Islam. They produced a great body of literature, among the oldest in the world. Samuel Noah Kramer spent most of his life studying the Enuma Elish, and many stories of the Anunnaki, those who came down to earth in 50's. This short but important work gives translations or summaries of the most important Sumerian myths.
