What if the first civilization knew secrets we are only beginning to rediscover? Step into the mysterious world of Sumer—the land between two rivers, where writing, law, and myth were born. Long before Egypt raised its pyramids, the Sumerians built towering ziggurats, charted the stars, and told stories that still echo in our culture today. Yet their legacy remains shrouded in mystery. Why did they rise so quickly? How did their myths shape later religions? And why do their stories still haunt us? In Sumerian Mythology: Enki, the Anunnaki, and the Epic Flood That Shaped Humanity’s Earliest Stories , Sarah Lambert brings these ancient legends to life with vivid storytelling and deep analysis.
