The late 1920s excavation of royal tombs at Ur, in southern Iraq, provided one of the most renowned discoveries in the history of archaeology. Extravagant jewelry of gold, lapis-lazuli, and carnelian, cups of gold and silver, and extraordinary objects of art and culture were among the Mesopotamian treasures uncovered by renowned British archaeologist C. Leonard Woolley in a joint expedition by the British Museum and Penn Museum. The remarkable tombs opened the world's eyes to the full glory of ancient Sumerian culture (2600-2500 B.C.) at its zenith.

    The skulls remain in London Museum. Sitchin begged them to do a DNA. He also offered his whole estate to anyone that would get the DNA of Nin Puabi but unfortunately there were no takers and Mr. Sitchin died without knowing that Nin Puabi is Anunnaki.

    Why would you need to import items into Eden - Surely Eden would be self sufficient.

    wait, i'm confused...you think playing solitaire isn't a good idea for livening up dullness? we have very little to feel dull about, you must just want to be bored, like zigsour & 32jones like being skeptical.

    aw, you don't like stories? can you be happy? because if not you have no "joyful spirit of a sound mind" which explains saying something so ridiculous. you only believe every other human who says you were formed inside your mother. you couldn't watch as it happened because, well it's DARK in there! everything is based on some sort of faith in what we think we've weighed up in our minds...but can't quite really prove. you don't WANT to be grateful so you decide not to try to find a Giver. so sad.
