- enhanced Kur page to hotlink to online copy of Samuel Noah Kramer's "Sumerian Mythology" [1944, 1961] expounding on the mythical Kur, the first ever dragon,associated with the Zagros mountains to the east of Sumer.

- The Sumerians were a non-Semitic, non-Indo-European people who lived in southern Babylonia from 4000-3000 B.C.E. They invented cunieform writing, and their spiritual beliefs influenced all successive Near Eastern religions, including Judaism, Christianity and Islam. They produced an extensive body of literature, among the oldest in the world. Samuel Noah Kramer spent most of his life studying this literature, by piecing together clay tablets in far-flung museums. This short work gives translations or summaries of the most important Sumerian myths.
