GUIDE TO THE MESOPOTAMIAN PANTHEON OF GODS

http://www.ianlawton.com/mes2.htm

Extractions: GUIDE TO THE MESOPOTAMIAN PANTHEON OF GODS st May 2000 The gods played a crucial role in the Sumerians' lives, both as a nation and as individuals - most Sumerians appear to have had a personal god or gods with whom they forged a special relationship. Their texts and stelae indicate that they looked to them for protection and assistance in all things, while also blaming them or looking upon it as a punishment - just or otherwise - when things went wrong. As with the endurance of their literature these gods, with some amendments, continued to be worshipped right through to the late Assyro-Babylonian period. Since they play a crucial role in the literary texts which we will consider in subsequent papers, it is appropriate that we take time out to consider the key figures. The collective name most often given to the Sumerian pantheon is the Anunnaki, although another name, the Igigi, is also encountered. These two names appear to be interchangeable in some texts, although in others there are inconsistent and conflicting roles accorded to each as greater or lesser gods. For example, in Atra-Hasis the Anunnaki are the 'great gods' while the Igigi 'do the work'. By contrast, in the

Lahmu and Lahamu were brought forth, by name they were called. For aeons they grew in age and stature. Anshar and Kishar were formed, surpassing the others. They prolonged the days, added on the years. Anu was their son, of his fathers the rival; Yea, Anshar's first-born, Anu, was his equal. Anu begot in his image Nudimmud. This Nudimmud was of his fathers the master, Of broad wisdom, understanding, mighty in strength, Mightier by far than his grandfather, Anshar. He had no rival among the gods, his brothers.

The Eden Again Project: Restoration Of The Mesopotamian Marshlands

http://www.iraqfoundation.org/projects/edenagain/

Extractions: The Iraq Foundation is sponsoring a new project, Eden Again, for the restoration of the southern marshes which were the target of a campaign by the Iraqi government in the early to mid nineties. The environmental and military campaign desiccated the marshlands, destroyed the environment, burnt villages, and drove hundreds of thousands of the indigenous ma'dan population into external exile or internal displacement. This project is significant for its human, environmental and historical impact. THE "EDEN AGAIN" PROJECT: RESTORATION OF THE MESOPOTAMIAN MARSHLANDS The Mesopotamian Marshlands, historically covering over 20,000 square kilometers of interconnected lakes, mudflats, and wetlands within modern-day Iraq and Iran, have disappeared. In what the United Nations has declared "one of the world's greatest environmental disasters," over 90% of the marshlands have been desiccated through the combined actions of upstream damming and downstream drainage projects undertaken by the regime of Saddam Hussein. BACKGROUND ON THE MARSHLANDS The extensive marshlands of Mesopotamia represent a unique component of our global heritage and resources (UNEP, 2001). They play a key role in the intercontinental flyway of migratory birds, support endangered species, and sustain fisheries of the Persian Gulf. Biblical scholars regard the marshes as the site of the legendary "Garden of Eden." Historically they nurtured the culture and civilization of the Sumerians who produced the first alphabet and the earliest epics.

Extractions: Mesopotamian Mathematics The origins of both Mathematics and writing go a long way back into the past. These two seemingly different disciplines actually shared a common history. Now, it is generally agreed that the earliest form of writing was based on cuneiform symbols (wedge shaped) which was developed by the Sumerians from the region of Lower Mesopotamia (present day Iraq) at around 3500 to 3000 BC. The necessity to keep records for accounting and economic transactions gave rise to such form of writing. Something was needed to represent the numbers from the increasing commercial activities taking placing during that time. Thus, this abstract form of writing was created and it slowly evolved over the centuries to what it is today. Similarly, the early formation of Mathematics can be traced to that period of time and region. Mesopotamia was undergoing a sudden growth and change. There was an increase in economic activities. Therefore, a system was created to represent different types of goods and their quantities so as to simplify transactions and make accounting easier. This was a metrological numeration system and it is essentially a system of weights and measures. It was the same way in which we now denote 5 meters or 5 kilograms but instead of meters or kilograms, they would have 5 goats or 5 eggs. Different goods were given different units to represent them. This system was the earliest form of Mathematics in history. It is crucial to note that both writing and Mathematics came from the search for answers to facilitate trading and to improve the economic scene. If we are to use the simple definition of Mathematics found in a dictionary, which is the study of numbers, quantities and shapes, then surely, what the Sumerians did with the cuneiform symbols was to use it to represent Mathematics. The earliest form of writing was just a visual representation of Mathematics, a tool to bring Mathematics across easily. Not surprisingly, many of the early pieces of writing found today were of mathematical works. These included the
