Ancient Sumerian artifacts, and other archeological relics not currently accessible to the public are looked at in detail and reveal a history that has been lost to the sands of time. These Annunaki artifacts usually depict them with wings or riding in winged discs. This is believed to communicate their ability to fly through visual pictographic language. It did not mean they actually had wings. The vast majority of people viewing these images could not read cuneiform, so pictures had to communicate content and meaning.
Sumer (or Shumer, Egyptian Sangar, Bib. Shinar, native ki-en-gir, (from Ki = Earth, En = (title) usually translated as Lord, Gir = (cultured) usually translated as Civilised, thus “the land of the civilised lords”) was an ancient civilization located in the southern part of Mesopotamia (modern day southeastern Iraq) from the time of the earliest records in the mid 4th millennium BC until the rise of Babylonia in the late 3rd millennium BC. The term “Sumerian” applies to all speakers of the Sumerian language. Sumer is considered the first settled society in the world to have manifested all the features needed to qualify fully as a “civilization”.
