A Stray Sumerian Tablet
Sumerian clay tablet (MS Doc. 829)
Zabala, southern Iraq, ca 2200 BCE
MS Doc. 829
This diminutive clay tablet was written by a Sumerian scribe in an administrative office around 2200 BC. The full translation of the laconic text runs as follows:
18 jars of pig fat - Balli.
4 jars of pig fat - Nimgir-ab-lah.
Fat dispensed (at ?) the city of Zabala.
Ab-kid-kid, the scribe.
4th year 10th month.
There are plenty of uncertainties about this translation. We cannot be sure that the personal names Balli, Ningir-ablah and Ab-kid-kid are correctly transcribed because of the multivalence of cuneiform signs at this date. Moreover, there are no verbs to tell us whether Balli and Nimgir-ablah were receiving pig fat or handing it out. The fat was either poured out at Zabala or for Zabala, an ancient city of central Sumer whose patron deity was the goddess Inana, identified with the mounds of Ibzeikh. The tablet may have been written at Zabala, but it is also possible it was written at, and was rediscovered in, the even more important city of Umma further to the east. To decide this we need to take account of other similar documents.
There are several clues in this short text which allow us to position it in an archival context, and comparison. Tablets dated by year and month (no day, and no ‘year-name’ which was the better attested practice) are known to belong late in the decades of the Dynasty of Akkad which ruled south Mesopotamia in the twenty-third and twenty-second centuries BC. While very few such ‘mu-iti’ (year-month) tablets have been recovered in archaeological excavations, plenty appeared on the antiquities market in the early decades of the twentieth century and are scattered among the museums of the western world, including the Louvre, the British Museum, Liverpool, Manchester, Edinburgh, St Petersburg, Yale and Chicago. A study of these texts was included in B. R. Foster’s work Umma in the Sargonic period (Hamden CT, 1982), especially Chapter 4. He discusses numerous tablets which record the issue of food stuffs and other commodities. He writes “animal fats were an important part of human diet”, lard “was stored in jars, and issued by the sìla [ca. 1 litre]”. … “It may also have been an important commercial product, as stocks of it were kept in various cities outside of Umma itself and records kept at Umma as to what was on hand or disbursed in those cities” (pp. 116-70).
This reads very aptly for our tablet, and that it is relevant becomes apparent when we find that one of his texts mentions Balli, another records Zabala as the place where the pig fat was used, and a third tablet concerned with pig fat mentions an Ab-kid-kid. Here he is the scribe, and Balli and Nimgir-ab-lah must be receiving, issuing, or authorizing the issue of the pig fat. While Nimgir-ablah is new to us, Balli turns up regularly in the texts discussed by Foster, and he seems to be an official in charge of a wide range of oils, from pig fat and butter to sesame oil and almond oil. It is virtually certain that this little tablet was clandestinely excavated some time early in the twentieth century, and found its way to Europe along with many other tablets from an institutional archive-a palace or conceivably also a temple. As for its more precise date, this is still sub judice, but along with the rest of its archive it probably belongs to a time when Shar-kali-sharri, the last king of the Dynasty of Akkad, had lost control of parts of the south, and documents at Umma were no longer dated by his regnal years, but by another system. Unfortunately we don’t know what the starting point for the ‘4th year’ was.

Mr. C. or Dean if you prefer, We could/should correct all that, one random act of kindness at a time, at least in my humble opinion. It will be a long row to hoe without a doubt. Most of humanity currently still believes that currency is real and necessary. Even with the exponential growth of technology, the human race collectively, it would still seem, are just children fighting over the new shiny thing in a sandbox, or so we think. I feel we're still centuries away from any semblance of sanity. For now, I believe we have to find some solace in the knowledge that the lunatics clearly overran the asylum quite some time ago, and we have no control over that. It's been 2000 +/- years according to the documented history of the world, that we've continued to repeat the same behavior again, and again, and again, still to this day expecting the outcome to be different. I think you probably know what that defines, at least according Einstein. Of course, that approximation, and any hypothesis I may have, is conditional on all those sources being accurate about those two thousand or so years. The further back into time, or if you envision the future, considering and checking sources becomes increasing more difficult, with less probability of accuracy. That very concept is what brought me here today. Again, just my humble opinion. I can say with 100% certainty however, I agree wholeheartedly with every word of your comment! Who knows Dean, maybe the UAP's will come en force with actual intelligence, and show everyone the better way, preferably forcing it, as that's how we really listen and find a way to change. Reminding humanity as one whole, that if we just stop trying to sabotage each other, and cease placing so much value on THINGS that WE CONTROL the VALUE of, we'll be free to simply start helping each other and actually start evolving. Other than junk that's helped us become more complacent, there hasn't been much evolution. That will never happen if we continue to just keep getting better at making even more stuff and junk, continue talking about our limitations⁰, while never taking action to change it, and constraining ourselves with whatever false "fear du jour" we have dreamed up today for ourselves. No matter what that is; maybe it's racism, maybe it terrorism, maybe it's one of the many other "ism's" shoved in our faces, that are really just distractions everyone submits themselves to. Maybe it'll be this New Flu that will come back around for a fresh injection of that particular flavor of fear. It has been presented as quite tragic, and of course when someone dies it's a loss. I don't take the time for things like this because I dislike people. In reality, it is still no more of a mortality threat to us than the old flu was, at least from the actual, yet still incomplete data we have available. Coincidentally¹, our good old fashioned influenza killed 16% LESS people in 2019 than in 2018 globally. There IS Old Flu data for 2020, as well as New Flu data from the W.H.O., C.D.C., the U.N. and their affiliates, World Bank, and UNICEF who compile the stats pandemic or no. If anyone ever manages to get past the first couple Google results and actually reads any single one of those data sets from any of these organizations, they ALL state the findings are "preliminary". It's not any big newsflash though, as historically, nothing related to global health from the C.D.C. and W.H.O. is "finalized" during it's current year, or the year previous even, at least not anything involving pesky Science³. It's STILL logistically impossible to expect accurate global data within the same year as an event like this. It was an absolute absurdity hearing stats about this thing LAST year. Two years after those groups start tracking something globally is the best anyone can expect. Eight BILLION people spread across an ENTIRE that takes a full 24 hours in a JET going approx. NINE HUNDRED KM/H (560MPH) to get HALF way around. How people even entertained the idea we were getting accurate information is beyond me still. Even if CNN², all of the other Sitcom's³ like it, and all the highly reputable³ internet "News Outlets" get together and report the same numbers so they can claim to "Know" the stats for the New Flu now, people, especially Americans, should come to terms with the actual facts. Actionable intelligence on a global scale from all these health organizations comes years down range from the inception of events like this, it was a full decade for HIV/AIds and I can't believe I'm the only one who remembers ALL of the 80's. As a representative sample e.g. New Orleans taking us 6 months just to get there, and then start being able to know what to work on. I mean we all known how that went down there now. That's one smaller city and about 480,000 people pre-Katrina population, approx. 6 ONE-HUNDRED-THOUSANDTHS of ONE SINGLE PERCENT (0.00006%) of the global population of approx. 7.9 Billion. HELLO - It'll take a hot minute STILL to suss out those, 7.9 Billion and growing people all over the entire planet. Just for a quick moment, imagine any single aspect of getting the needed data logistically ... for example, autopsy information. Seems like that'd be an important variable we need to know to determine how many people actually did in fact die from the New Flu. Don't even think of actually performing a years worth of autopsies globally⁴, and don't even consider extrapolating from it either yet. Just imagine compiling that data for 60-70+/- MILLION autopsies, it has to be Billions of data points. Once you consider that one single part of that one single aspect of what will be many other aspects needed for anyone to have any idea of what is actually going on, you can start to realize the other aspects and what it will take get them in order before we can have any realistic information about the New Flu. Why do we need a planets worth of annual autopsy information for this? That's rhetorical 😎 It's the fact, that since this got to our radar, if you were in a Drive-By shooting that ended with you tripping a few M18A1's⁵ and blowing ALL of your limbs off in a gruesome deadly explosion, but ended up with an overworked, under-paid Nurses Assistant tasked with testing body parts for the medical examiner who gets a positive reading on the highly inaccurate "quick tests" for the New Flu that are still being used, then your autopsy is Marked New Flu POSITIVE. Even though you're in 14 different baggies after being blown up by gangster's, your cause of death now is THE NEW FLU, because that was the "protocol". A doctor came on KZread over a year ago now, to warn about that ... His video was taken down. SO ... all those numbers and stats being thrown around for well over a year now that are ruling everyone's lives, while folks have treated this all like it IS the verbatim Gospel coming directly from their Deity's mouth in front of their eyes, ... Well ... those stats ARE, and HAVE BEEN, AT BEST estimates and ignorance, and that's if we're lucky as Americans. It's the best possible crappy option we can hope for among all the possibilities of crappy options... ... and at worst, it's this current insanity where absurdity has murdered all common sense, and reigns supreme; a deliberate manipulation of ALL of the aforementioned ☝️B.O.L.O.G.N.A.☝️ and probably even more still to 👇come👇. I'm NO conspiracy "theorist" because thinking up more stuff than the reality that's right in front of my face would be just as insane as the rest of the world. I do, however, believe the evidence that we have available, not just the biased opinions, conjecture, and innuendo that passes for news today, and there certainly have been historically, a veritable plethora of events in our history that would fall firmly under Webster's definition of conspiracy. However, even with ALL the facts, or blatant lack thereof, that CLEARLY say something is NOT right. Someone can tell me 2+2= FIVE as much as they'd like, but I know better. That said, I don't really think, or even have a feeling that this New Flu Freak-Show is some nefarious conspiracy. I sincerely feel, we just all got a new type, or maybe it would be more accurate to say, new-ish type of bug and OF COURSE people freaked out. That's what the "news" was doing, making more news. Clearly NO ONE was reporting ANYTHING that could resemble a fact. We STILL DON"T have those facts. Since we were all looking at it through todays worlds eyes, "virtually" that is, ignorance, fear, and conjecture grew exponentially faster than fact and knowledge. SHOCKER right? I know ... not really. I won't call anyone an idiot, but idiocy loves social networking, it helps it spread like Star Trek Tribbles. Ironically, the New Flu went viral. Well, all the fear and bad information about it, that I think really helped a lot of people break and/or escape the monotony of their lives went viral anyway. The New Flu Virus itself clearly didn't go nearly as viral. If it continues unchecked at this rate, or even increases a couple dozen percentage points, it will take it 50 years to do what H1N1 did in two. That was 100 years ago now. Even our pandemics today are Nancy's 😂 Sorry that was juvenile, but I needed a laugh. It didn't take much either to get us here; once that ball was rolling with an ENTIRE planet of people waiting in line to get it going full steam, and of course, the global power players⁶, stepped in! Chaos ALWAYS Creates Cash, and that IS what they do. It's what they've done for Millennia, so there's no "conspiracy" it's just that reality. If everyone knows, it can't be some weirdo evil Pinky and the Brain fantasy conspiracy. Who needs to conspire, when a whole planet stands in line to pay above retail for this new improved version of a Pet Rock? That was also rhetorical 😊 and I digress again.

It's no secret, anyone could take a few years to put the data together, but The Global Power Players, as I call them, those that control about 80% of the entire planets currency, approx. Two Hundred Fifty Thousand people, which kinda sounds at first like a whole bunch, yet in perspective, compared to the World, it's less than 1% ... way less than 1%. More accurately, it is in fact 0.000035% It's an unfathomable and glaring disparity. They're really like little kids about it now, and all those kids want is pretty much everything. I started this by talking about us being kids in sandboxes fighting for toys, well they want ALL of the sandboxes even though they own most, that we think we we're playing in and get toys from. Yeah, they want ALL of the shiny new toys in them too. All of the junk, stuff, and things everyone covets so desperately is what ultimately brings everyone to heel, and what's worse is that they think they're actually becoming more successful, on a path of finding happiness in it all, as it piles up around them like the bars and gates and walls of their prison they'll never leave, as they can't see they're even in one, and that continues to feed the absurdity of it all and perpetuate this insanity. Let the little you have go, and get more than you ever imagined. One of these generations is going to have to understand that it WILL be uncomfortable, but only temporarily, and that living like Jeremiah Johnson, Mad Max, and Red Dawn for a bit is worth it in the whole scheme of things. It hasn't happened in 70+ generations, but a boy can still dream ... I think “¯\_(ツ)_/¯“ Masks ... it was my about my 3rd really big clue, that I tried as hard as I knew how, but still couldn't NOT notice and realize this was going to be, yet another lucrative shuffle of the deck for that 0.000035%. What a smack in the face ... literally! I've traveled to Hong Kong. Mainland China, Korea, India, and Japan for about 30 years now. 25 or so years ago, ALL of the people in the metropolitan areas, and a great deal of the people in the rural areas of China ALL started wearing masks. So ... follow along ... The New Flu originates in China, then spreads outside of that country, into a really scary sounding thing called a Pandemic, which would be a threat equivalent to battling an entire regiment of V.C. dug into a hill by yourself, but was actually more like one Cambodian sympathizer that will vow fealty for a carton of smokes and a bottle of Jack. A pain in your six and not really convenient, but exponentially better than the really good shot at dying with all those guerillas in the bush. Now this New Flu spreading all over the world allegedly. The VERY Best thing we can do is to wear a mask. Of course, everyone does ... they were told to! AND, Bonus, they all get their New Flu gift basket of pandemic accessories including 4 cords of paper products, gallons of hand sanitizer Doctors told us a decade ago to use sparingly, and not at all for extended periods, because of the chemicals that can build up and become toxic, a couple drums of bleach, alcohol and ammonia to kill germs, or to accidentally mix since it's everywhere in your life now and inadvertantly make a WW1 trench warfare gas weapon that could kill an entire apartment building, and last but nowhere close to least, the MASK ... that provides absolutely NO protection against anything for the one wearing it, but works well at keeping our communicable material from escaping our personal biosphere ... ... as long as you know by "communicable material" I mean spit, and by "biosphere", I mean your mouth. That is EXACTLY what Paul Berger designed it for over 100 years ago in the late 1800's. We haven't really made any significant technological breakthroughs in that time, and it worked OK for all the Cowboys that robbed trains, plus someone told me I should just wear one³³³. I mean, all of the Chinese people where the virus orginated were wearing masks, so we should too, because it obviously works, right?³³³ HEY .... Wait a minute. 🤔 ... OK, nevermind, I'll just go buy a few dozen, so I have some to match all of my outfits³³³. I'm clearly not smart enough to figure out why wearing one didn't make a single difference in helping contain the virus in China or help its people, unless you speak the Chinese Government who says they have like 2 guys maybe, and they're just a little sick, but they're in the Wu Tang Clan anyway³³³, and no one died or anything, so masks it will work for me here, and I have to believe that, because I'm an American, and we're just way better people³³³ ... plus someone told me to, so I don't even have to think about it, it will obviously help³³³. Well, it looks like I got a little too into this comment, And I apologize if you've made it all the way here without really knowing my motivation, which was to show some appreciation, because not many people can really see how simple the complicated solutions to our problems can be, but you obviously did from what you wrote. It's just rare for me to see it, and I wanted to say Thanks, and now I'm not even sure I did that. I can be pretty dense at times for a fairly smart fella . If nothing else, I hope you at least got a couple laughs along the way. Just the fact you can say that someone wrote an epic reply to your comment ... including FOOTNOTES for Petes Sake. That previous sentence being the truth is so absurd I find it hysterical. Right now I could easily be just another one of the Lunatics with the keys to the Asylum. I hope ya had fun. ✌ ϻя.ƹ ⁰ Based on the flow of currency, which is a concept born completely from human imaginations and ego, that no one yet can imagine a world without. Humanity collectively just doesn't have the empathy yet to understand, if they give their little bit of junk up to realize that evolution, they'll get EVERYTHING they wanted ¹ (no such thing as coincidence, but it makes people feel better to think that) ² CNN is still a thing right? 😂 I haven't watched television since Walter Cronkite died, easily over a decade now, especially not the "News" that I avoid everywhere. I'm glad for Walt that he's gone, because he would lose his ever loving mind with this insanity in place. Although, maybe if he and others like him were still around, "News" would still be a real thing, and it may have never gotten this psycho “¯\_(ツ)_/¯“ ³ Sarcasm - Yes, some people actually need footnotes for that one, probably more, to realize and understand it, so I still include them and a ³³³ means totally hysterical sarcasm ... as long as you have a daark, dry sense of humor ⁴ 60 to 70 +/- Million per year deaths needing autopsy ⁵ M18A1 Claymore is a directional anti-personnel mine developed for the U.S.A. Unlike a conventional land mine, the Claymore is command-detonated and directional, meaning it is fired by remote-control and shoots a pattern of metal balls into the kill zone like a shotgun. ⁶ The percentage of the global population of those controlling 80% of the Worlds currency is approx. 3 ONE-HUNDRED-THOUSANDTHS of ONE SINGLE PERCENT (0.00003% +/- 0.00001%) to help with some perspective of that, it is even smaller than the example used in the body, of New Orleans as compared to the entire world. So, if Seven (7), like 1,2,3,4,5,6 .... 7 people total out of the ENTIRE City of New Orleans owned 80% of EVERYTHING there, you'd have a pretty accurate representative sample of the World

Not to mention all the things they won't look into. And they are far too often making archaeological decisions without referencing other Sciences to make an informed decision. Just one case in point, the Kensington runestone. Archaeologists say it's a fake because there were no non-natives in Minnesota in the mid 1300s. The runestone was found in 1895 bound up in the roots of a tree growing over it. And the scale on the stone itself, according to geologists who have investigated it period is well over 300 years old. That's including the scale that is in the writings on the stone. Meaning that it couldn't possibly have been faked by the itinerant farmer that found it. History is not what they've been telling you.

The Americans are just late coming copy cats. Go the ANTIQUITIES SECTION of any "major" museum in the world, you will find lots of stolen stuff in them from all over. The only real difference is that "archeology" "egyptology" etc. used to be called "treasure hunting" but the end results are the same. I imagine there is a big museum somewhere not too far from where you live. Do go there and check it out, it may surprise you.
What sort of profound insights might the ancients have to offer us, what wisdom did they deem worthy to pass down the ages on their eternal tablets? "Someone bought a tub of lard."

I've heard there are more cuneiform tablets then Hieroglyph cause the papyrus obviously decayed. Also so many haven't been studied cause only a few read it. Zachariah Sitchen had a Doctorate degree to read Cuneiform and translated many stories into books. You can also search online for translation into English as well.

I once read that some tablets containing inscriptions upon them represent a type of life story or personal experience which read like a miniature novel. These were exchanged when persons first met and gave each reader an idea of who they were dealing with as memory and verbal communication could be impaired over time. In which case it would be difficult to ascertain a true representation of a person by appearance alone. Of course, the obverse could also be true, as 'clay portfolios' could be stolen and adopted, or, they could be filled with inconsistencies to deceive. Trickery and subterfuge are nothing new.
I love how the Sumerian Cuneiform tablets dovetail with the Scriptures. The Anunnaki are the plurality of Genesis 1:26, and one of several of the Extra Terrestrial races that were involved in the creation of life in the heavens and on the earth, as Genesis 1:1 says. Couple that the cultural accounts of the same thing at same time in History: Israelite in the Bible or the beginning of the Mayan culture, or any culture's historical records. Predating Sumerian Cuneiform tablets, the original Bible was drawings on the cave walls in the fire light, showing what Genesis 1:1 in pictures. The Bible is my favorite book on the creation by and contact with an Extra Terrestrial civilization.

This, being written in the context of a bill, receipt, a note of tender reflecting "goods" transacted would indeed be an indication of a financial system or structure within ancient Sumeria. Yet dated even further back is a 5,000-year-old receipt for clothing, sent by boat from Ancient Mesopotamia to Dilmun - what is now Bahrain (Dr. Irving Finkel. "World's oldest writing is not poetry but a shopping receipt." (2019). The National. ) Akkadian is the earliest attested Semitic language which used the cuneiform script. This verbal expression related to cuneiform as attested to in Sumerian texts from around the mid-3rd-millennium BC. Hundreds of thousands of texts and text fragments have been excavated to date, covering a vast textual tradition of mythological narrative, legal texts, scientific works, correspondence, political and military events, and many other examples. In contrast, and half-way across the planet, the Mayan Archaic period, prior to 2000 BC, saw their first developments in agriculture and the earliest villages. Trade was abundant yet laborious in both Aztec and Mayan civilizations due in part to their lacking the wheel, which was widely used in this same chronologic period in Sumeria, assumed the inventors of the wheel. Further, the use of Hieroglyphic writing was still being refined and established in Mesoamerica and practically used by the Maya much later, close to the 3rd century BC. Comparatively, although these Mesopotamia and Mesoamerica civilizations existed on Earth during the same time periods, skewed populations and societies, architecture and social aptitude were evidently equally similar, there are well-observed gaps in archeologic findings respective to their technologies, theologies, and practicalities. To reiterate, Sumerians used wheels while Mayans were dragging land sleds. As well, the theologic practices and beliefs of these Mesoamericans were non-linear in structure and high in excentricities while the Mesopotamian theology entails much more lineage and implied logistics. I illustrate these few similarities and great differences between two very ancient and true terrestrial original societies in an effort to demonstrate the seemingly displacing nature that to this day exists between technology and theology. Mesopotamia divided and continued to develop and advance, while the same periodical Mesoamerica was concurred by Alexander (the Great), followed by Conquistadors and others, leading to the comparatively slow development and advancement which is unarguably displayed even in our current time. To conclude, I am first to admit that though I have modern and conventional education and understand many things, I know nothing. As a man of the sciences, with much passion for classical and quantum physics, it seems that the further out to the celestial I look, the smaller particles the that I observe, our entire reality has become very questionable to me. I find explicitly eloquent knots which tie theology and technology tightly at more and more levels. I pray that time will tell, but I question even the nature of time. I offer but one idea. Be good to one and other as we are all on this same vessel, sharing the same path and having the same ultimate destiny. This is our true equality. Jason D. Lispi

Wow! A 4000 year old receipt for soap! This little tablet is like a window on an ancient world.

"Esh" means ash in old persian, Eshtar been used as soap for cleaning in the old times all the way intill now, the word you looked at was "potesh" which might be a "bowl of ash" there is a cultural belif that ash can clean any kind of dirt from skin . i belive the many answers to questions of western researchers dont lies under the sand, but lies in those older messopotamian languages and ceremonical acts, religious books and cultural norms, like persian ,hebrew ,assyrian and armenian.

559 BC - The Commanding Officer of The Domain Battalion who was lost in 5,965 BCE was detected and located by a search party sent to Earth from The Domain Expeditionary Force. He was incarnated as Cyrus II of Persia during this time. A unique system of organization was used by Cyrus II and the members of that Battalion who followed him from India through his progression of Human lives on Earth. In part, it enabled them to build the largest Empire in the History of the Earth to that date. The Domain Search Party who located him traveled around the Earth searching for the lost Battalion for several thousand years. The party consisted of 900 Officers of The Domain, divided into teams of 300 each. One team searched the land, another team search the oceans and the third team searched the space surrounding Earth. There are many reports made in various Human civilizations concerning their activities, which Humans did not understand, of course. The Domain Search Party devised a wide variety of electronic detection devices needed to track the electronic signature or wavelength of each of the missing members of the Battalion. Some were used in space, others on land, and special devices were invented to detect IS-BEs under water. One of these electronic detection devices is referred to as a "Tree of Life". The device is literally a tool designed to detect the presence of life, which is an IS-BE. This was a large electronic screen generator designed to permeate wide areas. To the ancient Humans on Earth it resembled a sort of tree, since is consists of an interwoven lattice of electronic field generators and receivers. The electronic field detects the presence of IS-BEs, whether the IS-BE is occupying a body, or if they are outside a body. A portable version of this detection device was carried by each of the members of The Domain Search Party. Stone carvings in Sumeria show Winged Beings using pinecone-shaped instruments to scan the bodies of Human Beings. They are also shown carrying the power unit for the scanner which are depicted as stylized baskets or water buckets, being carried by eagle-headed, Winged Beings. Members of the Aerial Unit of The Domain Search Party, led by Ahura Mazda, were often called "Winged Gods" in Human interpretations. Throughout the Persian Civilization there are a great many stone relief carvings that depict winged space craft, that they called a "Faravahar". Members of the Aquatic Unit of The Domain Search Party were called "Oannes" by local humans. Stone carvings of the so-called Oannes are shown wearing silver diving suits. They lived in the sea and appeared to the Human population to be men dressed to look like fish. Some members of the lost Battalion were found in the oceans inhabiting the bodies of dolphins or whales. The Space Unit of The Domain Expeditionary Force are shown flying in a "Winged-Disc". This is an allusion to the spiritual power of the IS-BEs, as well as to the space craft used by The Domain Search Party. The Commander of the lost Battalion, as Cyrus II, was an IS-BE who was regarded as a Messiah on Earth by both the Jews, and the Muslims. In less than 50 years he established a highly ethical, and Humanitarian Philosophy which pervaded all of Western Civilization. His territorial conquests, organization of people and monumental building projects were unprecedented before or since. Such sweeping accomplishments in a short period of time could only have been achieved by a Leader and a team of trained officers, pilots, engineers and crew members of a unit of The Domain, acting as a team, who had been trained and worked together for thousands of years. Although we have discovered the location of many of the IS-BEs in the lost Battalion, The Domain has been unable to restore their memory and return them to active duty as yet. Of course we cannot transport IS-BEs who are inhabiting biological bodies to the Space Stations of The Domain since there is no oxygen in our Spacecraft. Also we do not maintain life support facilities for Biological Entities there. Our only hope has been to locate and rekindle the awareness, memory and identity of the IS-BEs of the Lost Battalion. One day they will be capable of rejoining us. 200 BC - The last remnant of the "Old Empire" Pyramid Civilization is at "Teotihuacán". The Aztec name means “Place of the Gods” or “Where Men were Transformed into Gods”. Like the astronomical configuration of the Giza Pyramids in Egypt, the entire complex is a precise scale-model of the Solar System that accurately reflects the orbital distances of the Inner Planets, the Asteroid Belt, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Since the Planet Uranus had only been "discovered" with modern Earth telescopes in 1787, and Pluto not until 1930, it is apparent that the builders had information from "other sources". A common element of the Pyramid Civilizations around the Earth is the constant use of the image of the Snake, Dragon, or Serpent. This is because the Beings who planted these Civilizations here want to create an illusion that the "Gods" are Reptilian. This is also a part of an illusion designed to perpetuate amnesia. The Beings who placed false civilizations on Earth are ISBEs, just like you. Many of the biological bodies inhabited by IS-BEs in the "Old Empire" are very similar in appearance to the bodies on Earth. The "Gods" are not Reptiles, although they often behave like snakes.

This is so very interesting. A small tablet over 4000 years old, probably stolen, matches up with other stolen tablets. which come from the same place, giving all together, some information on how people kept clean, and how they stored their soap so that they could take it to their bathing area. So like the Indus Valley people who had bathing areas for the public, and ways of storing water in order to use it for this purpose and also for Agriculture. Se The Indus Valley Culture, which also traded with Sumeria over the sea, coming with boats with their produce, and putting clay tablets strung on leather straps on their produce for the Sumerians. The Indus people could drill teeth and create pots on a wheel, and had the wheel. They are even older than the Sumerians and where our second roots come from. Cynthia McLaglen

The writing is, oddly, in Dravidian/Tamil, and Tamil scholars can read ancient Sumerian.

@@spicyspecial333 because an inordinate number of root words in the Hebrew language are almost exactly the same as a considerable number of root words in the Sumerian language. The narrator may be outlining that Sumerian is not a Semitic language because the entire civilization of Sumer predates Semitic languages that does not mean that Semitic languages are not an outgrowth of Sumerian. Surprisingly Korean actually has an awful lot of words that are almost identical to Sumerian with the same meanings. Languages are linked by their vernacular and by the meanings of those selfsame words. Once you find that they're linked that becomes a fact whether you like it or not. He may be confused at the fact that Sumerian is written vastly different than Hebrew is. However it is spoken much the same. It would not be logical that one of the two greatest civilizations that existed at that time for at least 3,000 years in the case of Sumer and for what appears now to have been at least six thousand years of the case of Chem, later known as Egypt, that one or the other did not have a tremendous effect on the languages of that exact same area. That would be like saying that Arabic has nothing to do with the Semitic languages when it's an outgrowth of Syriac Aramaic which is almost identical to Hebrew. So much so that the original Quran was written in Aramaic as Arabic didn't exist as a written language till about 400 years ago.

@ Robert Fustin, first off, thanks for your insight. I'm not a linguist expert, but I have a deep passion for language-cultural history. I could see how Sumerian could have had an indirect effect on Hebrew, since the Akkadians (Chaldeans-Neo-Babylonians) were indeed Semitic, and they eventually overthrew the Sumerians (who were not Semitic). These Akkadians (eastern) would effect the Amarites (western) , Canaanites, Assyrians (Armenian, Syrian, Amarean), etc. So, the connection isn't so cloudy in that sense. Many English words have loan words from French, Spanish, Arabic, etc., It doesn't mean that English is Latin or Semitic (it's classified as a Germanic language). Hebrew, tho tied to the Akkadian language, is still closer to Arabic because they have their roots in the Phoenician alpha-bet (proto-Canaanite). However, there is an influx of ancient Egyptian loan words (i.e. - Moses), but it's still not considered Egyptian. As for your idea about Korean, I know very little about Korean, other than that they trace their origins to China. How then they care related to Sumer is beyond me, I'll have to take your word for it. Could it be coincidence? Please enlighten me. I find all of this very fascinating. Again, Thanks.

@@spicyspecial333 just cross-referencing root words. From varied sources I don't study this exclusively. I study an awful lot of different aspects of History and Sciences. I was surprised to learn recently that Arabic so, as a written language is actually only a few hundred years old. It was fraught with being a dialect of Aramaic for centuries. Why the original Quran was written in Syriac Aramaic, not Arabic. Arabic is a direct outgrowth of Aramaic. Which is just a slightly contemporaneous version of Hebrew. English is originally Germanic although all the rules of it spelling and pronunciation are Latin, well they are supposed to be, but they originally started borrowing heavily from the nordics and then from every other language of countries they colonized over the centuries. I was kind of surprised to learn recently that the Sumerian king could not declare war on his own he had to get Authority from his bicameral Congress. Sounds like the Hittites borrowed from the Sumerian in a lot of their own legal proceedings as well. And just so you are aware, Phoenicians are heavily influence by the tribe of Dan. And if not fully Hebrew, at least a considerable amount of them are.

@Rob, that's awesome. Yes, I just recently started looking more into Arabic and found out the same, hence Hebrew and Arabic have a loot of root similarities (cousins, if not brothers). As for the Sumerian King - declaration, in theory (as is most cases), this was true, but the practical reality (as is today with the US), there were ways to get around this convention of declaring 'formal' war. Most of the elites would be subject (i.e. owe favors or be bought outright) to the King. History shows us that whenever this becomes too common place, it's only a matter of time before the whole institution is overthrown.
Sad that the tablets cannot be joined and placed back in their original context. I hope that writing and books today will not be treated as poorly as these tablets have.
Thank you. Im behind u pushing to share the tablet stone writinga. Cant wait to learn ro read them sir.
If you can read Cuneiform and Hebrew, you will notice that Hebrew is a written form of cuneiform. You will also notice a plethora of cognate words.

I believe the Hebrew script is descendant from the Phoenician alphabet not Sumerian cuneiform. Not sure about cognates though

I wish I didn't have my library in storage (I'm retired) but the Hebrew alphabet grew from the cuneiform alphabet (a transition from stylus on clay to ink on papyrii) and Mesopotamian language(s); not only in form but in the total absence of vowels, punctuation and word spacing. Also many Hebrew words (IE: El, Ba'El ) are 100% cognate with the Hebrew language.

No, it did not. Hebrew is from proto-sinaitic via Phoenician. The current Hebrew script is actually the same as a version of Aramaic, that superseded the original Hebrew script that looked more like Phoenician. Akkadian, as well as Sumerian, wrote vowels. Hebrew cannot have inherited its consonantlessness therefrom. Ugaritic, a kind of faux-cuneiform inspired by Phoenician was an abjad though, but it came after the alphabet had already been invented. Akkadian is an east semitic language, Hebrew is a west semitic language. Thus they are related. The Hebrew script is ultimately related to Hieroglyphs, out of which Proto Sinaitic formed. The word for god in Akkadian is ilum and the word for lord is belum. The weaker consonant were lost very early on.

You are mistaken, Martin. But you are not forced to take the scholarly side that I do. You realize this issue has been debated for over 100 years and new discoveries (proto-Hebrew on cave walls for example). I would be interested in how you correlate the Phoenician alphabet with the Hebrew one (which does indeed have no vowels) I do retract my statement on no vowels in cuneiform, there are four possible vowels in cuneiform. However they are minimal, for example, the deity which literal transcribed from the cuneiform tablets as BL is translated (variously and validly) as Bel, Bal, Ba'El, Ba'Al, Baal, etc.
