Debunking the myth of "almighty" Sumer.

According to the Scaligerian or mainstream historians, Sumer was the first ancient urban civilization in the historical region of Southern Mesopotamia. Sumerians are credited with the invention of writing; thereby, putting Mesopotamia as the cradle of civilization.

Imagine I sat down in my world civilization class for one long semester being fed this fantastic lie. I hope you now understand why I ditched school altogether and became a student of Ifa.

Anyway, the so called Proto-Sumerian writing script or Sumerian cuneiform tablets are routine accounting clay tablets that were created for the mundane purposes of keeping accounts and records. In other words, the Sumerian cuneiform is an accounting device and not a writing script; thereby, destroying the myth of Mesopotamia as the cradle of civilization - to be the cradle of civilization, you must be the first to invent writing.

Why did Western academia invent Sumer and the myth of Mesopotamia being the cradle of civilization?

1. Ideological and racist reasons - a clever attempt to move the original cradle of civilization from the Nile Valley in Africa to the Tigris and Euphrates in the invented "Middle-East."

2. An attempt to historicize Biblical civilization of Babylon in the Old Testament. Remember, the mainstream history of all ancient civilizations was created by the Scaligerites using invented Biblical chronology or timeline. Consequently, Sumer or Mesopotamia is an academic duplicate of Biblical Babylon, both invented and fictitious!

Now, if the Sumerians were not the first in history to invent writing, who were the first to do so? The people we know today in history as the Ancient Egyptians were the first to invent writing, putting Ancient Egypt as the cradle of civilization. Every writing script we have today originated from the ancient Egyptian writing scripts: the pictographic Hieroglyphs, the Phonetic I alphabet or Heratic script, and lastly the Phonetic II alphabet or demotic script. It's from the phonetic Pharaonic Egyptian alphabet that the Greek/Latin alphabets developed.

Writing is a system, and like all systems, can only be invented once. The Ancient Egyptians, not Sumerians, invented the system of writing and every other civilization just copied their invention.
