The monumental royal cone of Gudea

Official or display cone excavated in Girsu (mod. Tello), dated to the Lagash II (ca. 2200-2100 BC) period and now kept in Manchester Museum, University of Manchester, Manchester, UK.

Sumerian Text

(d)nin-gir2-su ur-sag kal-ga (d)en-lil2-la2 lugal-a-ni gu3-de2-a ensi2 lagasz(ki)-ke4 nig2-du7-e pa mu-na-e3 e2-ninnu anzu2(muszen)-babbar2-ra-ni mu-na-du3 ki-be2 mu-na-gi4

Source: CDLI

Translated text

For Ningirsu, the mighty warrior of Enlil, his master, Gudea, ruler of Lagash, made a fitting thing resplendent for him, and his Eninnu with the White Thunderbird he built for him and restored for him.

Source: P234000: royal-monumental cone

I see six names in the text, the names of two gods, the name of Gudea and the name of a temple [E+ninnu] (cuneiform e2 meaning temple), the name of the city of Lagasz (lagash(ki)) and the title ensi2 meaning governor and ruler.

Ninurta or Ninĝirsu (meaning Lord of Girsu) is the name of an ancient Mesopotamian god associated with agriculture, healing, hunting, law, scribes and war. He was the son of Enlil. In the text, Enlil is introduced as the lord of Ninĝirsu. (lugal-a-ni)

Ninĝirsu was honored by Gudea, who was the ruler of the city of Lagash (ensi2 lagasz(ki)-ke4).

Gudea mentions in the text that he built the Eninnu Temple (e2 ninnu 𒂍𒐐) with White Thunderbird for Ninĝirsu.

Yeah no... What if Solomon doesn't tell his age not because of any sacred reasons, but because the ancient chronology is so fucked up that he just can't recalculate it in normal years.

#u know #like in the Sumerian King List time is measured in sars #which leads to kings reigning for *tens of thousands* of years.#each nation used its own events to date a calendar.#and every religion has its own way too.#and there's also a calendar in the Devildom...#and he doesn't even remember where he lived during what period.#so he has no fucking idea how to recalculate a million different chronologies now.#and he just like “oh dear 🙂”#“it was 30 sars. then an innumerable number of moons. 30 years according to someone's solar calendar.”#“then someone else changed the whole calendar and there was a huge jump back... or it was forward..?”#“(help)”#obey me #obey me nightbringer #obey me solomon

<- the shepherd in question

#he takes on different forms; he can turn into a sheep a bird a gazelle a flower and;;; lettuce #but his original form is that of a beautiful man #he was an ancient mesopotamian deity associated mostly with agriculture and shepherds #and like g.ilgamesh; he also appears on the sumerian king list #curiously enough he's stated to have also been an ancient king of the city of uruk as well like gil!#its a situation that is sort of like how some people believe king arthur existed and ruled somewhere #and others just think he was just a literary figure #I'm going to be honest with u chief i dont really vibe with his style in f.ate so im giving him a diff fc #he's still pretty much the same but i just want him to have pretty long eyelashes and beautiful fluffy hair #;d.umuzid

rectangle shaped-

#;ooc #ooc #for context; that is an old version of the sumerian king list #i am simply absolutely fascinated by the fact there are people who can interpret and/or translate markings on stones; tablets; etc #ALWAYS #its so wild to me im always like;; no way omg-#LIKE;; ho w do u look at something that dates from turbo ancient ages and be able to figure out what it means when u have close to no #existing data (in some cases of course) to help you truly confirm that a certain marking means something #like; yes i know there are things (as an example) like the rosetta stone and the understanding it brought to scholars about egyptian hierogl #*hieroglyphs through ancient greek writting #bc not everyone knew the first few diff kinds of writting on it; but the bottom part in greek-#very convenient truly; i can only imagine the joy of finding out that 'hey! i can at least understand this!'#ANYWAYS #insanity frfr its marvelous

Sumer was the southernmost region of ancient Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq and Kuwait) which is generally considered the cradle of civilization. The name comes from Akkadian, the language of the north of Mesopotamia, and means “land of the civilized kings”. The Sumerians called themselves “the black headed people” and their land, in cuneiform script, was simply “the land” or “the land of the black headed people” and, in the biblical Book of Genesis, Sumer is known as Shinar.

According to the Sumerian King List, when the gods first gave human beings the gifts necessary for cultivating society, they did so by establishing the city of Eridu in the region of Sumer. While the Sumerian city of Uruk is held to be the oldest city in the world, the ancient Mesopotamians believed that it was Eridu and that it was here that order was established and civilization began.

Tons of monarchs make an appearance on the Sumerian King List, but there’s only one lady Kubaba. The Chronical of rulers that often straddles the boundary between history and legend, provides us with the little information we do know about her.

The Sumerian queen Kubaba was a true monarch. A queen regnant who ruled in her own right, rather than a queen consort, who is simply the wife of the monarch. The King List refers to her as Lugal (king), not as Eresh (queen consort). She is the only woman to bear this title.

Well known rulers who were strong women in antiquity is Egypt, the country of the pharaohs Sobekneferu, Hatshepsut, and Cleopatra. Very few women ever rose to power in the kingdoms and empires established in the Near East, Asia, and Europe. These women often first accessed their power through men (fathers, husbands, brothers, and sons).

Evidence of construction and engineering as old as humanity itself... this could even be built by pre-human hominids.

"These artifacts represent the oldest-known example of humans - in this case a species that preceded our own - building wooden structures"

"Along the banks of the Kalambo River in Zambia near Africa's second-highest waterfall, archaeologists have excavated two logs of the large-fruited bushwillow tree that were notched, shaped and joined nearly half a million years ago."

Could be one of the biggest archaeological finds in history, staying tuned...

For context, here's where this was found:

#suddenly that Sumerian kings list doesn't seem so far-fetched #Zambia #archaeology #this is going to enrage racist archaeologists #me I'm loving this

@ardenssolis replied ; not CAMAZOTZ or anything. Or a certain Shinsengumi. Or a certain king. Or----

POV: Ozy goes to war a mission and c.amazotz glances over at B.rynhildr and S.igurd and all the other couples in c.haldea and he awkwardly looms over to hug him in the stiffest way possible- but the intention is there ok !!

#ardenssolis #;c.amazotz #c.amazotz: :WAITING FOR HIM TO SAY SOMETHING:#ANSWER !!!!!!#while at the same time; if he did say something; he would die of embarassment #he'll sit around the r.ayshifting area and wait for u okok #If they went together; he would protect him from any b.ullets or attacks with his big wingsies #maybe... maybe love is about sharing ur most precious mangoes with the one u love-#maybe love is teaching ur significant other the m.aya ball game #o.zy sleeps in his chamber and c.amazotz is facing upside down the ceiling #he can sleep 'regularly' in a bed its just he will take over all ur space even if theres plenty of empty spots #he gets embarrassed about hugging but then the next moment ur taking a nap with him and suddenly his arms are wrapped all around u #MAYBE--- maybe the sun is allowed ONCE (1) in the house of the bats- maybe- but dont get too cocky #/on the other hand; S.AITO AND O.ZY TOOOOO #random what-if thought as well but s.aito would bring him the newspaper each morning and they would sit around and have breakfast #while reading #oz.y fixing his necktie and s.aito fixing o.zy's cloak #teasing each other until the other get embarrassed and its like;; one point for o.zy or s.aito!#g.il and o.zy-U KNOW HOW THEY ARE TOO- DISASTER! i love them so much too😭😭their dynamic always makes me laugh #what are the chances that an ancient sumerian king and a pharaoh would bicker like an old married couple??#GIVING U ALL MY MUSES TO U AND O.ZY ! and also to ur multi's muses
