Sumerian Mythology Paperback – Illustrated, October 29, 1998

It's a very interesting read, however I feel that there was a lot of information missing from the book. The author would frequently skim over stories or aspects of the myth because he deemed them to be unclear or unimportant. I would like to have seen more information rather than just the aspects he found worthwhile.

This is a good book for anyone studying the RELIGION of the Sumerians. This book is a collection of some of their religious beliefs/myths with a few notes helping the reader connect them together. It is a good read and not too dry... you should be able to finish it in a day. I liked this book much better than his book "HISTORY BEGINS AT SUMER", but I say if you are looking to buy one book on the Sumerians in general then you need to purchase Mr. Kramers book "THE SUMERIANS" instead. It contains most of the same information found in this book and a lot more on their daily lives, history, and etc.

Random ? marks all over the place this was well written then somebody messed it all up

OK in parts, but not enough ACTUAL translation. Just enough to tease you. I want a book FULL of translated text, stories, and mythology.This guy spent way too much time explaining how much he knows about Sumerian Mythology."Yeah, yeah, yeah, now get to the point, please."

I thought it was going to be a more palatable read, but (and kudos to the author) it's more of a direct translation. It's a dry read, but all the info is there.

Incredible society and this book helped me understand their essentric, strange, and out of this world belief system. Ha, get it... Out of this world? Ok jk

I find that there are many books written about this subject but they differ in the slightest by a single letter or word translation. It's best to get a hold of as many as possible to create a real view of the meanings. This book surely helps my quest.

I appreciate all the years of time, study and research that went into this book. Im glad i read it but I can't agree with the authors interpretation of Sumerian mythology being where biblical creation stories originate from.

important addition to my book mountain

Interesting read
