  • Cuneiform fades away as the alphabet triumphs. The last great flourishing of Sumerian civilization ends with the rule of Gudea of Lagash.

    Great story telling by a great sir. I learnt a lot about the origin and reasons and conditions that lead to develop a language called "Sat krutam iti Sanskrutam" in many ways from Sir David Neimann a great student of Prof Cyrus Gordon. But my heart felt sorry for him for not giving a glass of water when he is struggling with throat congestion. I will be most happy had anyone from his listeners bothering this aspect rather than more interested to know by asking him rather than serving him. I pay my heartful obeisance to this great teacher.

    3. Contrary to Dr. Neiman's opinion, the Babylonians Amorites did not take their names from the Arab Hebrews or the Arab Canaanites since the Amorites had their own language by end of the 4th Mill. b.c. Most likely, Canaanites and Hebrews adopted Babylonian names. The Amorites were the dominant people in the region and ruled over the lands of Syria and Canaan.

    1. The Phoenicians had their own pictographic alphabet in 2750-2700 during the reign of the World Monarch Sargon the Great who ruled over the whole ancient world. His nephew and son in law and visir Ningishzida wrote the Alphabets to the nations of the world to enable them to write their own history and receive the knowledge of the Atlantean Sumerians. Ningishzida (or Enzu in the Sumerian mythology was knowN in Arabia as Luqman The Wise, in ancient Egypt as god Thoth, in Ancient Greece as Hermes and in ancient China as Fuxi III. Other imperial titles of Sargon the Great stated in the Babylonian tablets: Lord of Earth or Enki, King of waters or Abas (AB + AS= WATER + KING), King of the Four Quarters of Earth represented by the Sumerian Swastika on Sargon's chest and King of the Four Directions of Earth. A Sumerian ceramic bowl found on the Andes Mountains in Bolivia with a Cuneiform inscription on its inside stating ''SARGON KING OF ATLANTIS'' now kept in the Bolivian Museum and there is a documentary film about it on CZcams. If any one has doubt about Sargon being the World Monarch or his World Empire let him read the Sumerian Epic of ''ENKI AND THE ANCIENT WORLD ORDER'' based on monotheism and Justice, contrary to the satanic New World Order. To realize the whole truth, one must read about all ancient texts of ancient civilizations and compare to their legends and epics. All ancient Alphabets in the 3rd MILL. B.C. were of Sumerian Origin and Sargon used the Akkadian language as a bridge between languages. Dr. Neiman is telling a small part of the truth and other misleading lies or misleading history.

    The fact that no one even asked him to clarify his BS claims about Christians burning those books tell me his audience seems to not even realise they are being lied too...and this is the man who was made top religious scholar at Boston College - that is a CATHOLIC college .... now it makes sense!

      BS
      read Decline and Fall by Gibbon.
      The Crusaders managed at one point to
      Conquer Constantinople for 60 years.
      During that time they destroyed the massive libraries of ancient knowledge.
      Destroyed every Pagan ancient Greek and Roman and Asian scroll/statue by infamous artists; and writers, philosophers, and Every manuscript they deemed UN Christian. Millions of artifacts and manuscripts. The greatest treasure of Ancient history in world history.
      The library that Caesar accidently burned was nothing in comparison.
      Christians in the first 500 years after Christ, murdered each other in tens of thousands alone for insane arcane positions of Holier Than Thou versions of Christ's story and words.

    "Gudea" in Persian language (khodea) means "God"

    • @CadaverSplatter
      @CadaverSplatter Před 7 lety +2

      In Sumerian it means something like 'Speaker', coming from a present participle of the compound verb that includes to elements 'Gu3' meaning "voice/sound", and 'De2', meaning "to pour", meaning something like "speaker".

    2. Greeks and Romans did not get their Alphabets from the Phoenicians. The got them directly from the Sumerians. L. A. Waddell discovered that 75% of the roots of the English Vocabulary were of Sumerian origin and mentioned that in his book ''Egyptian Civilization and its Sumerian Origin'' but he admitted that the British linguists were aware of that fact but they prefer to say that their alphabet is of a Greek origin who copied the Phoenicians. 60% of the Hungarian vocabularies are of Sumerian origin too, Waddell said.

    Sorry but when you say "now put into Babylonian form" isn't that a lie?
    Babylonians were around more than a thousand years before the Canaanites settled
