Extractions: The purpose of this page is to provide a source of information on all aspects of Mesopotamian mathematics. We explain the origins of mathematics in Mesopotamia from the earliest tokens, through the development of Sumerian mathematics to the grand flowering in the Old Babylonian period, and on into the later periods of Mesopotamian history. We include some general surveys to get you oriented in each period, and some more detailed resources for those interested in specific aspects of this fascinating episode in history. Like most other Web pages it is under slow construction as time permits. Some of these resources are of general interest, others are intended mainly for use by students in my History of Mathematics class. A short summary of the main phases of growth in Mesopotamian mathematics. The topics mentioned here will all be expanded upon in later pages.

Extractions: This bibliography is by no means exhaustive I've tried to give the most reliable and/or up-to-date references wherever possible, and I may well have missed out a work or two through my own inefficiency. For a more complete bibliography up to the early 1980s, see Friberg's contribution to Dauben 1985 cited below. Thereafter, one can chase relevant works and authors through the regular bibliographies in Historia Mathematica (annotated) and the Assyriological journal Orientalia (unannotated but well cross-referenced). I've assumed knowledge of English, French and German only which means omitting works in Russian and Italian in particular. If you would like further information or advice on anything in particular , do e-mail me. I'll try my very best to help but I'm afraid I can't always respond immediately, particularly in term-time.

McClung Museum - Royal Tombs Of UR - Woolley And The Great Flood
Online exhibition examining mesopotamian flood traditions from archeological findings and literature.
http://mcclungmuseum.utk.edu/specex/ur/ur-flood.htm

Extractions: TREASURES FROM THE ROYAL TOMBS OF UR WOOLLEY AND THE GREAT FLOOD The story of a devastating flood is a key element in a number of Mesopotamian compositions. In the literary-historical work popularly known as the Sumerian King List, which probably dates in its original form to the early second millennium BC, a flood separates antediluvian dynasties ruling from the cities of Eridu, Babtibira, Sippar, Larak, and Shuruppak, all of whose kings had reigns of fantastic length, from a longer list of dynasties ruling from nine different cities, the first after the flood being Kish. After Kish, kingship was transferred to Uruk and the later kings of the dynasty include Enmerkar, Lugalband, and Gilgamesh, figures well known from Mesopotamian literature. The Sumerian flood story is preserved on a six-columned tablet from Nippur (B 10637), only the lower third of which is preserved. The complete original would probably have had 260 lines. The tablet can be dated by its script to the late 17th century BC. The story inscribed on the tablet deals with the creation of humans and animals, the antediluvian cities and their rulers, and the flood. This clay tablet, now known as the Nippur Tablet, is displayed in the exhibition. NIPPUR TABLET In the episodes preserved, Enki reveals the gods' plan to destroy the human race with a flood to Ziusudra and urges him to heed his advice. The wind and storms come and with them the flood, which lasts for seven days and seven nights before the sun returns. Ziusudra emerges from his boat and offers sacrifices. Enki mollifies the gods, and An and Enlil grant Ziusudra life like a god's.

Extractions: Location: http://www-oi.uchicago.edu/OI/PROJ/ARI/ARIIntro.html This site, created by the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago, is a presentation of the royal scripts form the time of Cyrus the Great to the invasion of Alexander the Great. Along with the texts are "translations, glossaries, grammatical indexes, basic bibliographic apparatus, basic text critical apparatus, and some graphic apparatus" as the introduction explains. Although thorough, the texts are therefore rather lengthy, which may make them too cumbersome for the student trying to extract useful information. Ryan Ainscough Location: http://members.tripod.com/%7Esondmor/index.html Matt Gorski Location: http://www.angelfire.com/ms/ancecon/index.html Ancient Economies II is created through the ideas of Morris Silver, an economist teaching in New York City. This page is a continuation of his first page, Ancient Economies which dealt with a general overview of the economies of the cultures from the Mesopotamians to the Mycenaean Greeks. This page is much more in depth than the first and takes a very philosophical and scholarly look at economies in myths of these ancient times. The page has numerous references to the Bible and other writing of the time and he analyzes the use of money or the structure of an economy in that piece. The site contains no pictures or links and is well organized text throughout. Silver also gives an extensive bibliography at the end of the page to back up his many listed sources. Ancient Economies is definitely a better place to begin research, but this page will do well for anyone looking to extend that research even further.

RELS 011: Religions Of The Ancient Near East: Mesopotamian Gods
mesopotamian Gods. Here are some useful links dealing with mesopotamianGods Sumerian Mythology Babylonian and Assyrian Mythology.
http://www-relg-studies.scu.edu/netcours/hb/sess3/mesopgod.htm

Extractions: The principal Mesopotamian Gods were identified with the forces of nature, such as Anu (sky god), Sin (moon god), Enki (water god), and Enlil (wind god). The goddess Ishtar, goddess of love and war, was portrayed as the lover of the shepherd Dumuzi. Once, Ishtar descended to the underworld to challenge her sister Ereshkigal, the Queen of the Underworld. Ishtar was abused there but released in exchange for another god. While in the underworld, the world's fertility was disrupted. Upon her return, she found that her lover Dumuzi had not been mourning and so she sentenced him to the underworld. His sister procured his release during the year in exchange for her presence in the underworld. While the connections with the cycle of the seasons is obvious, it is also clear that the story of Ishtar and Dumuzi was enacted by monarchs to ensure the fertility of the land. The major God of Babylon, Marduk, forms the central figure of the Babylonian creation epic, the Enuma Elish. Marduk successfully defeated the mother goddess, Tiamat, and proceeded to create the universe out of her. Later Marduk created humans from the blood of her defeated general, Qingu, before creating his temple complex, Esagila, in Babylon. Note that Sumerian mythology from southern Iraq of the 3rd millennium B.C. formed the background for the later Babylonian and Assyrian developments.
