Woher kommt ihr Wunsch nach extremen Autoritäten? Wer heute nach Abgrenzung, Härte, neuen Autoritäten und neuen »Wahrheiten« schreit, ist als Kind in seiner Verletzlichkeit allein gelassen worden.

Although the Sumerians continue to get second or even third billing compared to the Babylonians and Assyrians, perhaps because they never built an empire as great as the Assyrians or established a city as enduring and great as Babylon, they were the people who provided the template of civilization that all later Mesopotamians built upon. The Sumerians are credited with being the first people to invent writing, libraries, cities, and schools in, and many would argue that they were the first people to create and do those things anywhere in world.
