Wow, this video is incredible. I'm going to send it along to some of my former classmates. Years ago we did a translation of that text (into English, of course), so it's surreal to hear it in Czech. Thank you so much for sharing this. I can't even explain to you how incredible it is it is that someone came on here and read this and contributed something so magical. I wrote another article on here about Enheduanna, the woman who is the first known poet in history, which talks about Sumerian literature, if you're interested.

I'm glad you like it, I think there are 2 or 3 parts on youtube altogether, and you can read the English by clicking CC .. I rewrote the original a bit, added some poetic license but stayed close to the original story. I have a few books on Sumeria, it's pretty fascinating. Also I think of the Iraq marshes that Saddam Hussein had drained, those were the last vestiges of old Sumeria, am I right? There's an old Nat Ge magazine about the marshes of Iraq ... Anyway that just came to my mind. I'll definitely check out your post and its great to find you here. I'm looking forward to your posts. :)
