Tagline:       Apprehend your longings

Logline:       Inspired by the legend of Gilgamesh, a Sumerian boy aspires to become the King’s Friend. As he matures and nears his ambition, he encounters corruption and betrayal, ultimately realizing the world is far less moral than he believed.

The narrative unveils a captivating Sumerian world, presenting modern challenges and appealing to a broad audience. Despite the relentless passage of time, our shared dilemmas and desires persist.

Sumerian’s Literacy

The world’s oldest known writing system traces its roots back to Mesopotamia. Surviving accounts of the Sumerian civilization are preserved on clay tablets etched with cuneiform script.

Unlike papyrus, parchment, or paper, clay withstands fire, solidifying rather than burning. Unearthed Sumerian tablets, numbering in the hundreds of thousands, offer a wealth of insights into humanity’s ancient history.

Sumerians Journey

Long ago, four millennia past, a lost Sumerian civilization thrived.

Its mysteries remained hidden until the late 19th century, when scholars decoded its ancient script. Over the subsequent 150 years, this vanished civilization has unveiled numerous enigmas.

In my series of brief lectures, audiences can uncover fascinating relics from our planet’s distant history. I anticipate that many will glean fresh insights and instinctively juxtapose that era with our own. Spoiler alert: little has altered since those ancient times.
