There are a number of scripts from that civilization. Sadly for many writers, the large discovery of early Sumerian tablets in ancient Canaan was yet to happen, and they felt safe in associating themselves with old Sumer. That which *was* known was derived from Akkadian writings made a thousand years after the fall of Sumer. The attribution is quite spurious. (which is a > dead language at this time).

This would be materials from the early third millenium BC and prior. There are few remaining documents from Egypt in this period, thanks to both Octavian and the Hyksos. The reference is, therefore, conveniently unverifiable. > The Latin > translation as well as the Greek translations were the primary focus on > creating the English version.

Dagon arrived thousands of years after the fall of Sumer: the god was half-human, half fish, and was never a dragon. > The proper name to this group I am unaware of exept > Dacon Occult. > If anyone knows how to trully read 95% Summerian I can attempt to relocate > this book in the original manuscript..so far I have found it in Dragon (the > Dacon Occult's language). Most of the Sumerian variations have been readable for a number of years. A simple trip to a valid educational instituite would make that a simple matter of verification. >
