Sumerian mythology

Sumerian myths have a rare primacy that most of the world's myths lack. They are the first myths known to man and formed the essence of his first religion. Therefore, their sources were authentic and consisted of two unique essences: the fertile riverine nature of the Tigris and Euphrates Valley and the agricultural culture that matured at the end of prehistoric times in the Tigris and Euphrates Valley. Nature was the first living source for the emergence of Sumerian myths. We can find an echo of nature, its laws, its movement and its changes in all Sumerian myths, as the Sumerian imagination wove images of the gods that control and move all aspects and forms of nature, and was primarily concerned with the clarity between water and air. The movement of the planets and the positions of the stars enjoyed primacy in this regard because they are part of the nature of the sky. Therefore, all the planets and stars had gods, and some of them had one or more legends. As for the agricultural culture that matured in the Tigris and Euphrates Valley, it included all the qualitative developments in the innovation and worship of gods and their symbolism for the cultures of the Neolithic and Chalcolithic eras.
