 | | The Sumerians engaged in siege warfare between their cities, and the mudbrick walls failed to deter foes who had the time to pry out the bricks. | | | Lugal-Zage-Si, the priest-king of Umma, overthrew the primacy of the Lagash dynasty, took Uruk, making it his capital, and claimed an empire extending from the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean. | | | Historian Alan Marcus says: "Sumerians held a rather dour perspective on life" |

| | And it couldn't have been Greek Mythology either, because that would mean the student assigned Norse got an 85 which is not one of the possible scores. | | | This means that the score of 80 went to the student who was assigned Greek Mythology (who we know is Czarus), and the score or 90 went to the student who was assigned Norse Mythology (who we know is Benjamin). | | | This eliminates both Norse Mythology and Celtic Mythology for Wimble. |

| | Mesopotamian mythology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Many stories in Sumerian religion appear homologous to stories in other middle-eastern religions. | | | The Sumerians practised a polytheistic, henotheistic religion, with anthropomorphic gods or goddesses representing forces or presences in the world, much as in the later Greek mythology. | | | Mesopotamian mythology is the collective name given to Sumerian and Assyrian and Babylonian mythologies from the land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in modern Iraq. |

| | Moreover, by way of Judaism, Christianity, and Mohammedanism, not a few of these spiritual and religious concepts have permeated the modern civilized world. | | | It was the Sumerians who developed and probably invented the cuneiform system of writing which was adopted by nearly all the peoples of the Near East and without which the cultural progress of western Asia would have been largely impossible. | | | The Sumerians developed religious and spiritual concepts together with a remarkably well integrated pantheon which influenced profoundly all the peoples of the Near East, including the Hebrews and the Greeks. |
