The sheer importance of Sumerian culture in regards to world culture as a whole is impossible to overstate. This civilization is single-handedly responsible for some of the most major innovations in nearly every field relevant to maintaining a civilized society - this includes religion, lawmaking, architecture, schooling, art, literature, and even entertainment.
They gave us both the benevolent, caring monarchs and cruel, punishing tyrants; the educated child and the spoiled brat; the hard-working agrarian and the drunken reveler; and the epic empires as well as the pathetic remnants of them. The Sumerians did it all, and they did it first.

Great video and excellent information, but the weird bluegrass music in the background is inappropriate and distracting.

Tall, Winged, almost human looking, coming from the sky or heavens. Teaching men to worship them, they gave man knowledge, and were creators. Reminds of the the story Of the ones who wanted to be like God the Creator of heaven and earth. The Father of all. Makes the story of the fallen ones more real for me.

The "music" is just an annoying noise. It spoilt the whole lecture for me. Why Irish sounding noise in ancient history?

Why would you say "An" is an approximation of the English word heaven? This predates the English language by a long time... You could say "heaven"" is related to the Sumerian word/concept "An"? But it doesn't go the other way...???
