The Sumerian King List Framed Print, Canvas, Poster Assyrian Babylon Akkad

  
The Sumerian King List, a crucial artifact from ancient Mesopotamia, consists of prisms with Sumerian cuneiform writing documenting the succession of cities, rulers, and their reign lengths. In its antediluvian sections, reigns of kings extend to extraordinary lengths, reaching up to 36,000 years, originating from the time "Kingship was lowered from heaven" when gods bestowed power upon humanity. Ten kings ruled before the biblical flood, after which the royal abode shifted from Kish to Uruk, Ur, and others. The list also notes notable figures' diverse backgrounds, including shepherds, fishermen, and even a female tavern-keeper named Ku-Baba, who reigned for a remarkable 100 years in Mesopotamia.
