History of Sumer

The history of Sumer from Prehistoric Ubaid & Uruk Periods, spanned over a time of 3000 years-beginning with the first settlement at Eridu,( 5th-3rd Milleninnia) Enki’s main City, and ending with the downfall of the Third dynasty of Ur(around 2004BCE). Between that time and the rise of Babylon i.e. more a transition period of Amorite, Until the early rise of Babylonia in the early 2nd Millennium BC.
Situated in southern Mespotamia (modern day Iraq). It is, indeed, believed to be the earliest known civilization in the world, baring the name “Cradle of civilization”.
The Sumerian city states rose to power during the prehistoric Ubaid & Uruk periods. The history of Sumer reaches back to the 26th century BC, but records of anything earlier remains obscure until early Dynastic III Period,ca.

Situated between the Tigiris and Euphrates, upon the fertile crescent by 5000BCE the Sumerians were able to develop core agricultural techniques , including cultivation of land, organized irrigation and monocropping. The Sumerians managed to adopt agricultural way of life, which depended heavily upon irrigation- this was mastered by the use of shadufs, canals, channels, dykes, weirs asd reservoirs.
From 2600BCE on ward, the Sumerians could write multiplication tables on clay tablets and deal with geometrical exercises and division problems. 2700-2300BCE saw the first appearances of the Abacus (a tablet placed horizontally on top of the capital of a column as an aid in supporting the architrave). The Sumerians were, indeed, the first to use a place value numeral system,find the area of a triangle and the volume of a cube.

Such creations and examples of Sumerian technology are as follows: Cuneiform ,arithmetic and geometry, irrigation systems, Sumerian Boats, lunarsolar calendar, bronze, leather, saws, chisels, hammers, nails, pins, rings, hoes, axes, knives, arrowheads, swords, glue, daggers, waterskins, bags, harnesses, armour, quivers, war chariots, scabbards, sandals, boots, harpoons,Beer, (other:Astronomy,Astrology,granary).
The constant wars between neighbouring Sumerian city states helped develop the military technology and techniques to a higher level . The first war recorded in history was between Lagash and Umma ca.2525 BC sat 18 miles apart and feuded for generations over the fertile region known as Gu'edena. In 2525, King Eannatum of Lagash defeated Umma using armored soldiers in phalanx formations, and chariots pulled by onagers (wild asses), an invention frequently credited to the Sumerians .

Enkian by 'Definition'.

I am not one for names, but if I were to characterise us under one name it would be "Enkians". We are believers in the Lord God Enki, Father of Creation,fertility,sweetwaters. Of wisdom & knowledge,creativity and magic. But some of us do follow the the Seven Gods who Decree.
As Enkians we strive to be the best we can be, we follow only the traditions of the old. We follow Sumer and we learn from the past to better our future. What knowledge we have, we have gained from that which was- Cuniform tablets, and from the knowledge which has been past of down from generation to generation. From the oldest of Tribes.We are creative,alternative thinkers, who see beyound the obvious.
Enkians are people who believes in and follow the religious percepts put forth by Enki and His Divine Messengers, the Abgal/Apkallu, and the guidance of his son Silikmuludug (Asar / Aarduk). We are people that hold these religious tenants and doctrines sacred to ourselves and strive to uphold them in our lives and to model them in our behavior. We are those who attend and hold rites of worship as ordained by Enki throughout the ages and commit ourselves to our faith wholeheartedly throughout out lives.We live, we learn,we love, we grow.
We are not "Satanists", we do not follow Sitchin and/or his theories. We do NOT promote or encourage violence,prejudice discrimitaion or racisim. We encourage equality,kindness and understanding.No two people are the same, and each have their own gifts to share,give and cherish.
We are our own. We strive to learn both Spiritualy and mentally from what doctrines we have, and what the Abgal/Apkallu have taught civilization, many centuries ago. We respect others and/or their beliefs, and help those whom wish to be taught in the ways of Enki and his Abgal/Apkallu.
We welcome & encourage those who wish to learn,grow & understand.
