Ancient Sumerian Literature Degree

Sumerian literature, the world's first recorded literature, consists of narratives, hymns, proverbs, and myths written in the Sumerian language using cuneiform on clay tablets, dating from around the 30th to 2nd millennia BCE. Key works include the Epic of Gilgamesh, wisdom texts like the Instructions of Shuruppak, temple hymns (e.g., Kesh Temple Hymn), laments for cities, and debates between natural elements, exploring themes of creation, heroism, love, and divine order, heavily influencing later Mesopotamian cultures.
