Oh?

Well, the fact of the matter is that of the tens of thousands of cuneiform tablets unearthed in mesopotamia, only a few thousand have actually been translated. Granted, that's been enough for scholars to proclaim that it was in sumer where we find most of the "firsts" that comprise advanced civilization. Further understanding of the sumerians - who they were, where they came from, who their "anunnaki" were, etc. - is utterly fascinating to me. So many of their influences remain extant in today's world, whether in astronomy, religion, music, art, literature or what have you, and IMHO, you must know where you've been to know where you're going.
