Takes us to the Sumerian archaeological sites in present day Iran, Iraq, Syria, and elsewhere, to see the influence of cuneiform, the oldest known writing system in the world. Its development brought about a cultural renaissance,and Sumers rise in the Mesopotamian region. The influence of these Sumerian wedge characters did not end with the fall of Sumer, but also provided a literary foundation for civilizations that followed. Cuneiform influenced Akkadian, Assyrian, Babylonian, and Persian writing, evolving over time from rudimentary pictures to standardized symbols.

  • @soupflood i tryed to wright in your channel but there is no my message to you.

    Try so: 2012forum.(dot)com/forum/viewt­opic.php?f=9&t=21238&start=120

  • @hunnoturk I don't know where to find your thread, though I found the 2012forum (dot) com . If you could give me the exact adress, like adress (dot) com etc. thx...

  • @soupflood Turks-Aryans y-DNA R1a with subclades, spoken on Z-Turkic language, went down to Mesopotamia, were part of them became Sumerian y-DNA R1b with subclades.In Mesopotamia Turks have invented imi-sal language=women's language=R-Turkic language.

    Are you understand?

  • @soupflood ))))) This completely not mad assumption. If you have read my articles attentively, you would find out that I wrote about SKYTH(Greece source)=(E)SKYTH=(E)SKYZ=(E)SG­YZ=ES-GYZ="Top Nomad","East Nomad","Mountain Nomad"=The Person from iSH-GUZian=ES-KUZian=ES-GUZian­.Read my works ATTENTIVELY: Sumerian went down to Mesopotamia from Eurazia across Kaucaz mountains where PraTurks waited the Flood.

  • @hunnoturk I'll have a browse on that, thanx. About the Tărtăria site though, some foreign archeologists claimed that the Sumerians descended from the prehistoric people whose tablets were uncovered at Tărtăria (since those tablets predated Sumerians--how ''crazy'' is that?)...

    P.S. This may be marked as spam, but I could not message you.

  • @hunnoturk You may be right. The wiki article can be found by googling 'Tărtăria tablets', sinceYt won't let me post links.

  • @soupflood Specify please, about what tablets you have written?

    Besides, I inform you that sumerian tablets of 4,5-5,5 thousand years of prescription find in all territory of Eurasia - from Pacific ocean where wandered Huns, and to Mediterranean sea. Including Siberia, Altai, Central Asia, Ural Mountains, the Volga region, Black Sea Coast, Crimea, the Balkan peninsula is in those places where lived and Turkis live.

  • There were some Sumerian tablets unearthed in current Romania back in the sixties, only recently re-analyzed...

  • 10 000=Tumen=Tu+meng=Tu+Me+Nig= "Be born, My Beginning!", Be born, My Essens"

  • 1000=meng=me+nig="Mine Essense",'the Biginning Mine".

    And now read all numerals Tatar which I have translated... As one a poem, as one Divine Message to Sumer from Supreme.

    Tatar language - The Divine Message to Menkind.
