Notes	The Sumerians played a prominent role in the history of the Near East. They are the ones who created the brilliant and effective civilization that prevailed in the third millennium BC, the mother of civilizations and the builder of urbanization. They were the ones who created cuneiform writing, and created a good share of eternal literature and unique religious and spiritual opinions. This or others like it were copied by the Babylonians and Assyrians, and through them it reached Phoenicia, Syria, and Palestine. The Akkadian language, which is Babylonian, became written in cuneiform and became widespread throughout all parts of Western Asia. It contained the Amarna letters sent by the Phoenician kings to the pharaohs of Egypt. The Sumerian god Tammuz moved and became the most famous god of the Phoenicians. The stories of creation, the events of the Flood, and the Garden of Eden were leaked to the Babylonians. This is the tip of the iceberg of this people’s giving to all humanity. In a twisted language, he was the conqueror of human cities, and the original origin of every human civilization on the globe. This is what prompted various human societies to study the history of the Sumerians, consider the features of their civilization, trace their effects and remnants, contemplate their morals and religious and spiritual views, and express all of that in various books whose publication was not limited to one homeland or nation. Among those historical scientific works that vary in depth and originality and vary in size and value, we are presented with this book that is unique in its research and masterful in its status. It is “The Sumerian Civilization” by the scholarly researcher Jacques Perrin, in which he recorded the opinions of the Sabians, explaining the history of the Sumerians. You see him as a well-versed historian, who does not miss the views of others, but rather returns to them, and stops at the famous ones, absorbing and contemplating them. He enters the world of archaeology, and publishes in his book many important drawings depicting different aspects of that Sumerian civilization, almost bringing it to life before the eyes. He dives into history and returns from it with Zad Namer explaining his interpretation of that architecture, presenting his opinions and supporting his conclusions. Since geography directs history and fosters its emergence, he began his book by looking at Mesopotamia, and after that he moved on to talk about the role of religion and art among the Sumerians. When he dealt with the origin of the Sumerians, he considered it likely that they came from the plateaus of Iran. It refers to the contemporaneity of the three civilizations: Sumerian, Egyptian, and Indian. It stops the urban system and the formation of the urban bourgeoisie. It explains in detail the actions of each of the main characters, such as the king, queen, and temple, then the peasants and industrialists. It dates to the establishment of property and the emergence of civil equality. He searches for the basis of Hammurabi's work and finds it in the Sumerian laws. It charts the development of Sargon's empire and its connection with the Sumerians. These mature opinions and their fertile branches, and others like them, are presented by the author in detail, focusing on the view of the Sumerians, their commercial activity, and their connections with the Akkadians, in particular, and accompanying them in their social life, without forgetting the status of Sumerian literature. He extends the research and completes it by talking about the destruction of the Gothic Empire of Sargon, and the ownership of Divine Right in Lagash, during the reign of King Godaiah. From all of what he read, it became clear to him that the Sumerian civilization reached its peak during the era of the Third Dynasty of the city of Ur. It reveals the harshness of Sumerian law in some of its aspects. These are some of the opinions that this book reflects. -- Includes a bibliography.
