Which civilization had the first system of law? The first formal educational system? The first tax cut? The first love song? The answers were found in excavations of ancient Sumer, a society so developed, resourceful, and enterprising that it, in a sense, created history.

History Begins at Sumer is the classic account of the achievements of the Sumerians, who lived in what is now southern Iraq during the third millennium B.C.

I skimmed it because it was rather Hebrew-Centric. I would have read it more carefully had there been some depth and meat to it, and there was, in a few places, but I just couldn't get into the side-projects of his. It's fun the first time you pick up a mythology and tie it to another to do a little skirt lifting, but it's another thing to base a whole book upon said skirt-lifting because, apparently, no reader in their right minds could attempt to understand such a culture without having to be hand-held by way of the one they grew up in.
Oh well. ( )

For anyone with even a CASUAL exposure to the riches of Sumer, the current and endless pre-occupation with idiocy which continues to prevent development of the archeology of Iraq is simply unforgiveable.
