Hey all, my book isn't even out yet and it's already 20% off on Amazon! Well at least here in Blighty. bit.ly/originofnamesbook I believe Amazon have a deal where what ever the lowest price is between you pre-ordering it and when it comes out, you'll pay that lowest price! So no harm in pre-ordering it in case Amazon lower the price even more!

Kushim may have been the name of the payers. Cushites, maybe. Like they were paying some tribute to the local king. The suffix "im," in every Semitic language, pluralizes the root word. The Kushim existed around the same time as the tablet in question and, according to biblical accounts, made war and had trade with Semitic peoples.

Semitic culture affected a lot by Sumerian Culture, all Abrahamic languages rip off lots of stuff from Sumerian mythology. Since Semitic people oppressed by ancient Egyptians they usually followed principles and religions of Sumerians and rejected Egyptian and Greek mythologies. If you look at the connections you can see a lot of stuff in Judaism therefore in Christianity and Islam are directly inherited from Sumerian mythology. Things like story of Noah (but with more than one god) is way older than Abrahamic religions and It is comes from a story book written in Ancient Sumer

No Sumerian mythology was a rip off of the Hebrews, how you can tell Sumerian mythology is a perversion of Hebrew records is by the vessel that is described.

The Gigamesh cube is not the SUmerian tale, is the later Mesopotamian tale, the Sumerian vessel is actually sea worthy and it kind of represents a scaled up version of a traditional mesopotamian river vessel, the kuphar, in fact it has been tested by Irving Finkel (the decipherer of the tablet). Also I might say, usually to copy a narrative this has to be older, not younger than you. The bible story was written a more than a thousand years later that the Enki and Atra-Hasi story.

Yes, it was not seaworthy, but it floated. The same would be said about the Biblical Ark who, thanks to the square cube law would also not be seaworthy, but it would float, at least for a time (until the sheer weight of the structure combed the walls provoking leaks). In the 19th century and beginning of the 20th the biggest wooden boats were built and due to their size they had a ton of structural problems and needed pumps, and we are talking about boats with reinforced steel rivets and bracing, things that the Ark definitely couldn't have had. At the end they are mythological tales that at most could be based on a guy that survived a local flood in a big boat with his farm animals.

3:15 The skeleton was found 43 years ago, in Ethopia. She would go on to become one of the most important and celebrated archaeological finds in history. Lucy changed our understanding of the process of evolution that led to humans - but she also became a household name, going on to be publicly exhibited. How Lucy the Australopithecus showed big problem with 'Ascent of Man' Lucy was found during a long dig in Ethopia, on the southern edge of the Afar Triangle. On 24 November, 1974, archaeologists in a team led by Yves Coppens, Maurice Taieb and Donald Johanson found. That night, they celebrated the discovery in what sounds like an irritating way: loudly and repeatedly playing a tape recording of The Beatles’ ‘Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds’. After that, they decided to give the skeleton the same name. “We were listening to the Beatles tape,” Donald Johanson told Newsweek. “I was a huge Beatles fan, this was the heyday. I brought tapes with me to the field, we had a little tape recorder. That particular night, 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds' was playing and we had just started discovering fragments of the skeleton.” Johanson has suggested that the catchy name helped make Lucy into the widely-celebrated find that she is today. “If she was called Geraldine, she might not have the popularity,” he said.

The Australian Aboriginal people may throw some light on the development of language and names. Across the vast Australian landscape, they lived mainly as nomadic Hunter-gatherers. I say "mainly" because there are signs of settled communities, fish farming and land management of a type which encouraged the growth of certain crops, and also kangaroos. They did not have agrarian communities, pottery, metal, or writing. and they rarely wore clothes with the exception of skins for warmth or body decorations for ceremonies.. Yet across Australia, there are about 200 indigenous languages, with fully developed grammar, oral traditions, mythology, laws and names, both personal, and locational. A very large number of place names are aboriginal in origin- Illawarra, Wollundilly, Bogabri, Warragamba, Coonabarrabran, Bong Bong, Bogong, Wagga Wagga and Wee Waw. These same Aboriginal people, who until 1788 were living in the Stone Age (i.e. aceramic and pre-metalic), have a great love of jokes that are based exclusively on language, not on practical jokes, or humorous events. The naming system seems to have had a personal name and a group name which latter identified a "totemic emblem". The form of the name indicated gender, so a man would have the name Jackamarra, and a female Nackamarra. Part of the importance of this second name was that it dictated which emblemic groups one could marry into. So JA could marry NB or NC, but could not marry NA.

In Thai the word for "human" is "Manut" and it's spelling belies its Sanskrit origin of something along the lines of "Manursaya". In Latin "Manus" is "hand" which is a distinctive characteristics of humans, so I would venture to guess there is a connection. Both Latin and Sanskrit descended from Proto-Indoeuropean, so some connections are found. One country that will remain "nameless" went a bit too far after noticing those language similarities in the 1930s...

The idea that names didn't appear before we became "more than hunter gatherers" is moronic, a name is just a way to separate one individual from another and that would have been needed just as much in the stone age. Also, ever heard about most of the native Americans? Siberian tribes? Aboriginals? Guess what, all of those people were hunter gatherers and they all have names. The idea of handprints being a "signature" is also stupid. How many individual hands can you really recognize? And for how long? I don't know the exact answer but it can't be much in either of them so it wouldn't work, it's most likely something religious or just a way to say "I was here". (I know that sounds like the same as the signature thing, but having a bit of evidence for yourself that shows that you are part of this tribe or whatever is different to other people using it to recognise you, it's the same as when some mountains have piles of stones on the top made by humans, it's just people trying to show they climbed it but nobody is supposed to recognise them based on the rocks)

I think it's highly likely that cavemen would have had names. Names are very convenient things for people who live in groups, which is to say virtually all people, to have. Furthermore, when you look at existing primitive tribes, they have names. People need to be able to refer to one another, which is why names are useful. This holds true whether you live in a cave and hunt giant sloths or whatever for a living or you live in a high rise apartment building and are an accountant or something.

If dolphins have unique calls for themselves, I'm willing to bet cave men had unique calls for themselves. If not a name name, maybe a proto-name.

Lucy in the sky with diamonds was a space chimp in the early American/NASA space agencies. She would get a little apprehensive before a space flight so she was given a diamond necklace to hold on to when she was tucked into the capsule seat to calm her down. And that’s the story and that’s the song and that’s the TRUTH!

What do you think of gobekli tepe and Randall Carlson and Graham Hancock that there we ice age civilizations way before Sumer and Mesopotamia and that when the ice melted and the land receded that since life develops along rivers and oceans that the cities were swallowed by the sea and thus lost and only the hunter gatherers and people inland survived and that is where all the flood myths from around the world and almost all civilizations in history come from?

Doug dimmadome is an omnipotent being, he does exist, has existed, and will exist forever. He is dark and light, good and evil, all in one being, everyone in ancient Sumeria knew of him as does everyone today, no one wrote about him because he was so well known and didn’t require a name because his existence was deemed so obvious.
