Actually, it seems that she is really the first named author --as far as we know today. Some dates and other claims are wrong. The numeral forty-two, in the reference that she wrote "forty-two hymns", is actually a literary topos of mythology. Old people in my place, Kypros, use to say "I have forty-two things to do". This is not a report about how many things I have to do. Rather, it is an expression that I have a lot of work, I am very busy. So, saying that she wrote forty-two hymns it actually means "she wrote many hymns".

This is a very interesting and helpful piece of information. Thank you so much! In Myanmar, we use '16,000' to express something which is numerous ("I have 16,000 things to do", "You're giving me 16,000 excuses"), and 16 to express something which happens frequently ("The electricity has gone out for the 16th time", "It's been 16 times you've asked me for a new playstation"). I've also read that 7 and 9 are the "holy" numerals that represent magnitude and/or infinititude in Persian and Chinese cultures respectively.
@Mauromoustakos3 жыл бұрын
@@nienna9844 Aa!! Many, many thanks for your responce. It is for me yet another valuable information confirming that in many cultures there are literary topoi, motives of expressing something using a number. In the Buddist tradition they have many things counted as 84000, or 86400. It seems that India is where these cultural motives started. In the Greek tradition there are indeed many mentions of number 9, and also 5. In the Jewish tradition, like the Old Testament, there are a lot of references to things counted as 7. There are also many references to 70 things, which seems like an augmented version of 7. Number 12 is found in many cultures. There were 12 great gods in ancient Greece, 12 plus one gods in the ancient Germans, 12 tribes of Israel, 12 imams in one of the major sections of Islam. Actually, I am writting something about these. I will leave a note here when its finished.

For once (maybe there are other women who weren’t married off to men and instead were assigned for significant roles during their time), this is so SO nice to know.

She’s not really the earliest known author known by name. Maybe poet from Mesopotamia but definitely not author full stop. For example, the Ancient Egyptian royal inspector Merer had written a diary 300 years earlier describing the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Which is significant since this is the first time we have found actual first hand accounts for the construction of the Great Pyramid. EDIT: “author - a writer of a book, article, or report“ - Oxford Dictionary. I’m not sure why people are trying to make the case that if you penned down technical writing, that doesn’t make you an author. That’s like saying Newton and Einstein weren’t the authors of their own published works. But if you’re looking for an example that isn’t technical writing, look up The Maxims of Ptahhotep written literally a few decades before Enheduanna‘s time. It was written by Vizier Ptahhotep and it describes his own personal philosophy and experiences.

There are older remaining works from the early dynastic period of Sumer. But most of them are legal/trade documents. One of the most interesting ones is the Mesilim Treaty, which resolved a border conflict between two neighboring cities. The conflict was mediated by a non-partial third party arbiter, and described remarkably sophisticated legal mechanisms such as a crop-sharing arrangement for a portion of boundary land that was cultivated by one city under lease with payment of an annual rental fee to the other city.

Make a video on why should you read the MAHABHARATA
@mariadinizcosta70984 жыл бұрын
@That Sports Guy It's a series Ted-Ed makes, called "Why you should read..." where they talk about books, their authors and their historical and cultural context. It's great! Check it out. Their video on "Midnight's Children" convinced me to read it and I'm really glad I did, it's a great book. Although I do think the Mahabharata would be best covered in one of their mythology videos.

Hate to break it to you, but this video was heavily influenced by todays society. Inanna (the god you were referring to) was referred to as the "Queen of Heaven" in Mesopotamian mythology, according to worldhistory.org. She did in-fact have a gender. In this video, they also made the claim that Enheduanna (the priestess) influenced Hebrew script (The Torah, specifically), however, The Torah was revealed by God to Moses. While this video does present a good deal of facts, the writers of the Ted Talk also took to manipulating Enheduanna's works in their own way. I suppose the choice of who you want to believe is up to you.

This is brilliant! Phenomenal video and such an unbelievably impacting human! So is that why we refer to ourselves as “I”? And beyond that, she was the reason we even thought about God’s relating to humans and having emotions/actions similar to our own. What if we came up with a different idea? Maybe it’d be our common cultural perception of what a god is, and then change how other things in culture have played out.

Did she wrote the Epic of Gilgamesh? I've read somewhere that that's the oldest piece of written fiction/mythos.
@ErickSoares34 жыл бұрын
No. The Epic of Gilgamesh is the oldest that we still read (and was done by several authors across the time and only later compilated in a single story/book), but there's still older texts (I saw that the Egyptian texts are older than Gilgamesh). Looks that the only texts by Enheduanna (that we know), are what is told in the video.
