I may be called a tinfoiler but I think their may have been previous advanced civilizations before the Sumerians that were destroyed somehow. Maybe with translation of cuneiform will find out something about them.

The Sumerians wrote proverbs, too. Tinney's favorite is "The road is bad, beer is good." That, he said with a chuckle, seems to mean "travel is hard, but the beer is worth it."

My kind of ancient advanced civilization! :-)

There are multiple words for female genitalia. "You have to remember, many of these came from a school," explained Sharlach - a school attended by preteen and teenage boys.

You mean that there were no Sumerian PC police to straighten (bend might be a better word *g*) these boys out?

Here's a Sumerian Dictionary in progress. A corpus colossal project like this takes a lot of brains.

I am excited...I will finally be able to understand what those Sumerians that I sit behind on the bus are laughing about all the time.
