The Weld-Blundell Prism was written in cuneiform around 2170 BC by a scribe who signed as Nur-Ninsubur from the end of the Isin Dynasty. The best preserved specimen of the Sumerian King List is called the Weld-Blundell Prism, which is a clay, cuneiform inscribed vertical prism housed in the Ashmolean Museum. All of these are believed to originate from one original list believed to have been written during the Third Dynasty of Ur or even earlier. There are more than a dozen of copies of Sumerian King Lists, found in Babylon, Susa, and Assyria, and the Royal Library of Nineveh from the VII century BC. The Sumerian King list is perhaps, one of the most important archaeological discoveries. Researchers also discovered a list of rulers that lived for thousands of years. Among their findings, archaeologists discovered a library of 20,000 volumes, dictionaries and complete works on religion, literature, law and science. Between 18 archaeologists from the University of Pennsylvania excavated 50,000 tablets believed to have been written during the third millennium BC. If we move 80km southeast of Babylon we will find the city of Nimrod and the tablets of Nimrod. According to research, it was the capital of the eighth antediluvian monarch, Emenduranna, who reigned for 21,000 years. It is commonly referred to as Akkad, Agade, Abu Habba, and Sippar, which means “city of books.” This ancient city was very popular because of their libraries. In these regions, researchers have found evidence that speaks of a past that seems to disagree with our conventional way of looking at history.Īkkad for example, is a city located 50 km northwest of Babylon.

This vast area of land was composed of several regions such as Southern Sumer, Akkad, and Assyria to the North. Mesopotamia is a Greek name meaning “between the rivers” this region spreads between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. In Ancient Mesopotamia we have very interesting pieces of ancient history. Researchers have done a fine job denying recorded history written and depicted on tablets, walls, sculptures and monuments. On the other hand, mainstream history and archaeology seem to tell their own story and suggest that these ancient texts are misinterpreted and are only myths created by our ancestors. This is one of the pieces of evidence that has led researchers to believe that history as we know it is quite wrong.Īncient texts speak of the great flood, a story that is repeated in numerous civilizations across the globe, the great flood has also been confirmed by the bible. Robert Bauval and Graham Hancock, authors of the book “The Orion Mystery”, were able to find out, using a computer program that recreated the astronomical landscape in the past, that the Giza plateau was positioned above the constellation of Orion at around 10500 BC. The earliest texts speak of ancient Mesopotamia around 4000 BC, but from these periods, if we travel further back in time, we will see that other civilizations inhabited our planet, and we are seeing evidence of their existence today. According to history, Ancient Egypt came to be around 3000 BC. Ancient civilizations that predate our times are known to have existed across the globe, but who were they and were they that different from us? What were their beliefs? Their purpose and origin? That is something that has “bothered” archaeologists who are not convinced with their existence.Īncient Egypt is one of the most incredible ancient civilizations to have inhabited our planet. There have been numerous discoveries that seem to disagree with history as we know it.
