Eridu Genesis and Debate between Summer and Winter

Warfare, Advancement, and Revisionism by Thomas Preston Floyd

Episode notes

In our final episode on Sumerian mythology this season we cover the tablets containing the Eridu Genesis and the Debate between Summer and Winter. The Genesis covers the creation of cities, kingship, the gods plan to wipe out humanity, and their survival thanks to the sage king Ziusudra thanks to the intervention of Enki. We also cover the birth of the defied Summer and Winter, Emesh and Enten and the roll these two forces played in the cycle of life in Sumer.
