What about one where Sumer wins, 𒈗?
Actually, I guess weirdos on Facebook already think that Sumer did ancient aliens stuff.
It's more often the other way around: Aliens came to the Sumerians. Read with a certain lense, the Sumerian creation myth sounds like genetic manipulation. Wake up. I met a guy like this in real life once
It’s amazing how a guy who didn’t know Sumerian “translated” texts and is taken as gospel by those weirdos. I took a short Sumerian class - it’s not like translating Spanish.
I see so much AI “Sumerian” shit on Facebook. Every time I see the word annunaki, I just know something insane is following.
It’s enough to make one believe in the power of the nam-shub of Enki, amirite?
More like the power of human ignorance and laziness. Like, you can read the real deal online. None of the spaceship shit.
They also really love photoshopping the Pleiades into random artifacts on Facebook. Or Graham Hancock’s stupid “handbags.”
For me it is comforting at least to know I am not the only one to feel this way about subjects I have paid in blood to learn.
“Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before," Bokonon tells us. "He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way.”
