The Origins of Sumerian Civilization

In this video the legendary Sumerian enthusiast Christopher Cressey takes us into our upcoming series on the Origins of Sumerians and the history of Ancient Mesopotamia. This is merely part one of a fantastic series that we have coming your way. From discussing the Ubaid peoples and the eventual coming and development of Sumerian Civilization he guides us into a wonderful and obscure history. From discussing the invention of writing as a foundation of Sumerian civilization we also explore conflicts over water and how these peoples tried to centralize power around these revolutionary canals. We discuss the Sumerian world, their mindset and how they viewed everything around them. Christopher covers their language, words and different ways they were used, accounting and so very much more.
