Tam bu anda boğucu hava karşısında katılaştı ve şerit şerit dokunup son derece tuhaf görünüşlü saydam bir yurttaş meydana getirdi. Küçük kafada minik jokey şapkası, yine havadan mamul, üstüne kısa gelen ekose ceketçik... yurttaşın boyu bir sajen ama omuzları dar, olağanüstü zayıf, yüzü de, dikkatinizi çekerim, alaycı.

“It is therefore difficult to estimate the number of Sumerian tablets and fragments now in the possession of the museums and private collections; a quarter of a million is probably a conservative guess."
...
“In the first place it is important to note that more than ninety-five per cent of all the Sumerian tablets are economic in character, that is, they consist of notes and receipts, contracts of sale and exchange, agreements of adoption and partnership, wills and testaments, lists of workers and wages, letters, etc.”

“And it is important to note that, in spite of the vast quantity of Sumerian inscriptional material excavated to date, only some three thousand tablets and fragments, no more than one percent, are inscribed with Sumerian literary compositions.”
To date, no one has come forward to publicly assert that Epstein blackmailed them with a compromising videotape he'd taken in his homes (though of course that doesn't mean it didn't happen). However, in 2023, the Wall Street Jour-nal reported that on one occasion, Epstein did attempt to pressure Bill Gates into participating in a multibillion-dollar charity fund he tried to start by threatening to reveal a past extramarital affair. Gates didn't do what Epstein asked. But that report demonstrated for the first time what many have suspected: that Epstein was capable of such manipulation. Meanwhile, another woman who was victimized by Epstein, Lisa Phillips, has stated that she once asked Epstein why he'd encouraged a friend of hers to have sex with Prince Andrew. His response,she recalled: "it's good to have things on people."
Sümerliller nereden geldiler, kimler? Bunlar Orta Asyalıdırlar. But explarations in Turkestan, the results of which have now been fully published, enable us to conclude with some confidence that the original home of the Sumerian race is to be sought beyond the mountains to the east of the Babylonian plain. The excavations conducted at Anau near. Askhabad by the second Pumpelly Expedition have revealed traces of prehistoric cultures in that region, which present some strking parallels to other early cultures West of the Iranian plateau. Moreover, the physiographical evidence collected by the first Pumpelly Expedition affords an adequate explanation of the racial unrest in Central Asia, which probably gave rise to the Sumerian immigration and to other subsequent migrations from the East (9-10).
Umma, Shuruppak, Kisurra, and Adap play no part in the subsequent history of Babylonia (118).
Sümer ve Akkadlılar iki farklı ırktılar diyor. Dilleri, görünüşleri her şeyleri farklıydı. It is now generally recognized that the two races which inhabited Sumer and Akkad during the early historical periods were sharply divided from one another not only by their speech but also in their physical characteristics. While the Sumerians invariably shaved the head and face, the Semities retained the hair of the head and wore long beards (141).
Sümerliler gelmeden önce Semitiklerin tanrıları zaten oradaydı diye iddia ediyorlar. Sümerler geldiğinde bunların ilkel insanlar olduğunu vurguluyor. Sümerler savaşçıydı. Silahları vardı. Professor Meyer’s answer to the question is that the Semites and their gods were already in occupation of Sumer and Akkad before the Sumerians came upon the scene. He would regard the Semites at this early period as settled throhghout the whole country, a primitive
