Everytime i read about sumerians it breaks my heart to think about all the culture we have lost.

They were much more developed than many people think. Its like looking at an old world that we lost

Yes, spring. Before extensive irrigation the rivers would flood and bring nourishing silt, somewhat like the Nile in Egypt but with destructive flooding. I should not just say the rainy season but when warming melting snow in mountains to the north.

The deadlines not the amount was the problem. France pushed for unrealistic deadlines that the weihmar republic couldn't keep up even when they printed so much money that ruined their economy.

Edit: changed book to blog

How came some say it’s a script while others say it’s not? A representation of a spoken language which in modern day would be script but back then it could mean representation of sounds or meanings behind sounds. How is that not a script?

Your comment reminds me of a post-war meeting between Georges Clemenceau (arguably the greatest French statesman of all time) and David Lloyd George, where the former criticized Lloyd George for becoming increasingly anti-French, with the Briton responding "Well, was that not always our traditional policy?"

Why does your video carry more weight than peer review?

Heh you forget how differently people experience something like spring. In Alberta spring is when all the snow starts melting so you get tons of water coming in from the mountains along with rain and everything turns into a swamp.
