Getting to know good ol' Sumer
In this book, Professor Samuel Kramer introduces us to the archeological research of Sumerian history, detailing the process of unveiling the ancient clay tablets and explaining the findings of the time. We are presented with the translation of various texts narrating mythological stories. Pitifully, the test of time made many excerpts of the tablets undecipherable, but that doesn't make the stories and poems any less interesting. It's been an enjoyable and intriguing read.
