Sumerian myths. From the World Flood and the epic about Gilgamesh to the god Enka and the bird Anzud

One of the oldest civilizations - Sumerian - is still an object of hoax. Where did the Sumerians come from? How did you explain life and death? What deities worshiped? And what did you see the purpose of a person?

The mythology of the Sumerians is largely reconstructed according to the later Babylonian and Assyrian sources that opened the world of the world about the flood, the legend of the country without death and sadness and the exploits of Gilgamesh. “Sumerian myths” will tell about heavenly and earthly gods, heroes and demons, legends and amulets, sacred rituals and magical spells.

From the author
A huge number of puzzles and hoaxes are associated with the civilization of the Sumerians. The cultural heritage of this people has passed through the centuries, but many traditions and rituals of the Sumerians are still shrouded in secret.

The legend of the flood and the saving ark, the legend of a wonderful place where there is neither death nor sadness ... These and other stories gained a new life in Babylon and, echoing in the Bible, have survived to our days.

What moved people who created this epic, what meanings they invested in it and what did they want to pass on to the next generation? Is it possible to answer these questions today?

Having sorted out the Sumerians about the universe and the purpose of man in the universe, standing next to the altars of the Sumerian gods, we will certainly come closer to the answers to these questions
