Texts of the Sumerians

Sumerian texts are ancient writings from early Mesopotamian civilization, dating back over 4,000 years. They include writings on clay tablets, such as administrative records, laws, religious hymns, myths, and poems. These texts provide insights into Sumerian society, economy, religion, and governance. Written in cuneiform script, they are among the earliest forms of written language, helping us understand how early humans organized communities, worshiped gods, and recorded everyday life. Sumerian texts are valuable archaeological sources that reveal the cultural and historical foundations of civilization.
