Mythologies of the Ancient World, Sumerian and Akkadian Philosophy

Written by RYAN MOORHEN

Narrated by Alex White

No Sumerian myths have been recovered dealing directly and explicitly with the creation of the universe; what little is known about the Sumerian cosmogonic ideas has been inferred and deduced from laconic statements scattered throughout the literary documents. We have several myths concerned with the organization of the universe and its cultural processes, the creation of man, and the establishment of civilization. The deities involved in these myths are relatively few: the air-God Enlil, the water-God Enki, the mother goddess Ninhursag (also known as Ninh and Ninmah), the god of the south wind Ninurta, the moon-God Nanna-Sin, the Eridu-God Martu, and above all the goddess Inanna, particularly concerning her unlucky spouse Dumuzi.

RYAN MOORHEN

Ryan Moorhen, now identified as a Biblical Archaeologist, Independent Assyriologist, Semitic and Cuneiform manuscripts researcher and enthusiast of all things ancient, made his first visit to the middle-east whilst serving in Iraq. It was during that difficult time he became enthralled in the origins of civilization. Upon his return  he embarked on his now long career in Theological Studies, carving his niche in Sumerian Theology and proving the connections between the Sumerian origins of civilization and Theological studies of Worldwide cultures.
