Roman Catholic Reporter For United States Questions Sumerians Existence Aha Aha!

Were There Sumerians?    By Paul Collins.

The Sumerians can seem very familiar. They have been understood as a distinct people, speaking a common language, who occupied the alluvial plains of southern Mesopotamia (modern Iraq) between approximately 3500 and 2000 BCE. Credited with the invention of nothing less than cities, writing and the wheel, they hold an ancient mirror to our own urban, literate world. But is this picture correct? Assembled from archaeological and written evidence over the past 150 years, the idea of a Sumerian people has been shaped by the shifting social, political and intellectual contexts of scholarship and popular reception. By unpacking this more recent history, it is possible to consider what we think we know about the Sumerians and how we know it. 

"WE HYBRID ETHNIC SAPIENS SAPIENS, TELL CRO-MAGNON-YAMNAYA SODOMITE CULTURE, TO STOP MORPHING THE ELOHIM CREATION CHARATERISTIC, WHILE THEY AWAIT HARSH GODS WRATH.  CHURCH ENTITY IS ABOUT BONDING UNCIVILIZED HOMOSEXUALS AGAINST HUMAN CIVILIZATION."

Reverend Edward Hincks (1792-1866). As early as 1849 Hincks had also concluded that the language of the inventors of cuneiform was not in fact Akkadian and that the system of writing derived from a people who spoke a non-Semitic language. The ancient name of this language was controversial until 1889 when a bilingual cuneiform text noted that the term emegi was equivalent to Akkadian lišan šumeri “the Sumerian language”.
