The supposed first civilizations. Born in E. DIN, the cradle of society between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in Iraq. The Sumerian city, Nibiru; other wise known as Nibbur in Akkadian and Nippur in Babylonian , is dated circa 5262 B.C. Quite possibly the birth place of the prophet of Judaisms, Abraham. Also speaking of biblical tales, they are credited with The creation story and the tower of babel among others.

A truly ancient civilization. These amazing peoples, culture, and religion have all influenced every aspect of all our lives. Their amazing architecture; ziggurats, tombs, roads, temples; are all to this day considered amazing works. Their cuneiform language and their primitive printing press, known as cylinder seals, are another advancement that even the most intelligent person must pay homage to. Not to mention their code of law known as Hammurabi's law. The first civilization with written law. Their ingenuity is awe inspiring. Considering they predate the Egyptians by 1000s of yrs. Speaking of ingenuity they came up with the 12 signs of the Zodiac along with detailed astronomical observations. Enjoy this short video on the genesis of civilization, the first steps of our collective intelligence.

  • God Bless the ancient Mesopotamians. The history is so ancient, and well preserved. God Bless God's chosen Semites, the Assyrian warriors, and God Bless the Assyrians' brothers, the Armenians.

  • As result, Rawlinson was surprised during his research to discover that the founders of the Mesopotamian civilization were of Kushite origin. He made it clear that the Semitic speakers of Akkad and the non-Semitic speakers of Sumer were both Black or Negro people who called themselves sag-gig-ga “Black Heads”. In Rawlinson’s day the Sumerian people were recognized as Akkadian or Chaldean, while the Semitic speaking blacks were called Assyrians
