Reading academic text from 1944 is always a weird mental exercise because you have to:

1. Take certain assumptions with a grain of salt and look into newer works to glean where corrections have been made
2. Eyebrow raise when they say certain things that are absolutely out of pocket

However, it's interesting to see where a lot of research regarding Sumerian myth started. I find Sumer in general really fascinating. The creation myth in particular really intrigued me, this idea of a primeval sea from which earth and heaven arose.

I did snort at the myth where Ninmah creates "six types of humans" and the author says one is 'sexless, perhaps an eunuch?' I'll be looking at newer translations promptly
