In studying the semantic and phonetic coincidences of Abzu-Engur, we focused on the Sumerian word Laḫama, which is also related to the Svan toponyms Laḫamula and the river Enguri. 50 Laḫama of Engur, as well as Abzu-Engur is found in many Sumerian and Babylonian texts from the third millennium BC and is usually associated with the Engur, Abzu waters, or the abode of wisdom. The article presents and discusses the Sumerian cuneiform texts from III millenium BC., including the ancient Babylonian period, where the Sumerian word Lahama and the Akkadian equivalent Laḫmu are recorded.

Abstract:
Identifying specific animals in the Sumerian vocabulary often requires careful examination of textual contexts, alongside bioarchaeological data and representations in Sumerian art, as well as insights from linguistic, cross-cultural, ethnographic, and faunal studies. This article supports the notion that the Sumerian bird tu-gur4/8mušen referred to the European turtle dove. Artistic depictions and avifaunal remains confirm the presence of the turtle dove in early Mesopotamia, and references to tu-gur4/8mušen are common in Ur III texts, particularly in Puzriš-Dagan, where it was kept for elite

The corpus of artifacts from the Lagas state constitutes what is arguably the single largest cohesive body of elite representational display forms thus far discovered to have come from Early Dynastic (ED) Sumer. Unlike the equally extraordinary finds from ED levels of Ur, which consist primarily of grave goods and small finds (Woolley 1934; Woolley 1956), what is unique about the finds from Lagas is that the majority of them are programmatic artifacts that were intended to be displayed to specific audiences.

Abstract:
The poetry of Sumer, inscribed in cuneiform script on clay tablets dating from 2000 B.C., is considered humanity's earliest written literature. Hymns To Inanna is a three-movement, mixed media work based on adapted English translations from ancient Sumerian text. The text is sung by SATB choir and musically illustrated by harp, flutes, percussion, and computer-generated sound (on tape). My musical setting displays these hymns not as a reflection of antiquity but as a timeless expression of spiritual thought. Certain elements of the composition evoke associations with early culture and music. T

The life and deeds of Sargon of Akkad represent the epitome of the political rise of Semitic peoples in the regions once controlled by Sumer (Zettler 2003). While theories of socio-ethnic conflict between Sumerians and Semites have long since been abandoned (Jacobsen 1939a), in the studies of Sumerian‒ Semitic linguistic contact, the perception of the ‘conquest’ attracts the scholarly attention toward the legacy of the Sumerian substratum in the Semitic superstratum (Woods 2006).

Abstract:
‘Writing’ focuses on Egyptian writing. Egyptian hieroglyphs consist of ideograms and phonetic signs representing the sound of all or part of a spoken word. The connections between writing and art were therefore much stronger in pharaonic Egypt than in many other cultures. The Narmer Palette reveals some interesting facts about the origins of Egyptian writing. The general assumption was that the first examples of the Sumerian cuneiform writing system appeared significantly earlier than the Egyptian hieroglyphs. This assumption was somewhat unravelled by archaeological discoveries made at the ex
