Talk:Sumer

Sumerians / Babylonians view of Earth

The article said Sumerians view the universe as a disc in a dome, but that's the statement for Babylonians (in regard to Earth, not the universe) in the book it was sourced from. Sumerians viewed it as rectangular.

There's some good fundamental info in the book that's lacking from the article about their beliefs. It may be worthwhile to check the page for more mixed up facts as well. I'll revisit eventually : )

The full book is available on this Internet Archive, in case anyone else wants to use -

“Sumer (/ˈsuːmər/) is the earliest known civilization”. So the inhabited settlement of Göbekli Tepe is chopped liver? 2601:58A:8781:5180:88CC:5EC0:86AC:1106 (talk) 08:28, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
