Great Deluge Before Bible: The Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh

– The Sumerians that were of Armenic or Armenid extraction had established one of the first centers of civilization in the lower part of Mesopotamia. Many scholars agree that Sumerians initially inhabited Armenian Highland and gradually descended to first Northern Mesopotamia and eventually spread further south, establishing the cities of Ur (excavated by Sir Leonard Wooley in the 1920s), Uruk and Eridu (note the sacred variations — AR-UR-ER-OR prefix). Fortunately a number of Sumerian inscriptions dating from somewhere between 2750 and 2500 BC have been preserved.
