Sumerian song - "Epic of Gilgamesh" [lyrics cuneiform] 

I am studying sumerian culture and it helps me a lot

The fact that one character of that ancient alphabet needs about 1 minute to carve into stone is crazy

Hello Mr. Merchant!

​@@bitshox1215 ?

where did you find this?

@@serasvictoria4884 find what

Interesting how AI know transalate this.

Linguists reverse engineered the modern language that it derived from.

@@eakbeagle7039 Hmmm, i really wonder how you can do that and what is the chance you get that figured right? 50% guessing?

@@rilosvideos877 I forgot to mention earlier, but not only that, but they had access to the Rosetta Stone that had about 3 languages translated on it. One was Sumerian. Scientists knew the other languages as well (Like ancient Greek) So they were able to decipher it fully through that

@@eakbeagle7039 Yes, agree for the deciphering method. But the audio? Was it recorded on the rosetta stone as well? How can you really reverse engineer something if you don't have the key? Deciphering the meaning (semantics) is something else as phonetics.

@rilosvideos877 I understand that. The explanation is pretty lengthy but I'll provide an example of how it was done. Despite Sumerian being a language isolate, it's people who spoke it have had close contact with the Akkadians, whose language is semitic, so it's descendants are still alive today. So, languages like Akkadian, Hittite, and Ugaritic would give a brief glimpse at what Sumerian would sound like. However, it won't be 100% certain how it sounds. We only know how it sounds on a basic level.

Its Iraq Flaq. Mesopotamia nad Uruk was in that country before.

Iraqis are direct descendants of ancient Mesopotamians.

@@sirmiles1820 not depends, it's a fact

​@@blueshirt26 no iraqis are Muslim arabs. The Arabs invaded Mesopotamia in the 6th and 7th century ad. They genocided the locals and colonized the region. Once the centre of the world , Mesopotamia has been a shithole ever since Muslim Arabs took over. (Same happened wherever Muslims have gone).

​@@blueshirt26это арабы лол

With that argument, just say Egypt isn't Egyptian.

So, it all became a void? And "arabs" came in out of no where?
