The Anunnaki map, a Sumerian work on a clay tablet, is believed to be the oldest map ever found. Its age predates the Bible. The question that arises: Does the map drawn on a circle symbolize a round globe or is the depiction showing a flat Earth?

Sumerian Secrets

Sumer – approximately “land of the civilized kings” or “native land” was an ancient civilization and historical region in southern Mesopotamia, modern-day southern Iraq, during the Early Bronze Age. Although the earliest forms of writing in the region do not go back much further than c. 3500 BCE, modern historians have suggested that Sumer was first permanently settled between c. 5500 and 4000 BCE by a non-Semitic people who spoke the Sumerian language (pointing to the names of cities, rivers, basic occupations, as evidence).

These conjectured, prehistoric people are now called “proto-Euphrateans” or “Ubaidians”, and are theorized to have evolved from the Samarra culture of northern Mesopotamia (Assyria). The Ubaidians were the first civilizing force in Sumer, draining the marshes for agriculture, developing trade and establishing industries, including weaving, leatherwork, metalwork, masonry and pottery.

The Origins of Beer

Although it is hard to pinpoint an exact date, researchers believe that beer dates back to the days of cereal agriculture, around 10,000 BC. In 3500 BC, the first recorded evidence of brewing was left on clay tablets by Sumerians in the epic of Gilgamesh. Those tablets revealed that the majority of brewers were women.
