The claim that Sumerian drawings show they understood the sun is at the center of the solar system is incorrect.

This text presents a fascinating, but ultimately inaccurate and misleading, account of Sumerian knowledge. While the Sumerians were indeed an advanced civilization with significant contributions to mathematics, astronomy, and writing, the claims made here go far beyond what archaeological and historical evidence supports. Let’s break down the issues:

  • Heliocentric Model: The claim that Sumerian drawings show they understood the sun is at the center of the solar system is incorrect. The Sumerians, like most ancient cultures, had a geocentric worldview, believing the Earth was the center of the universe.
  • Accurate Planet Orbits: While the Sumerians observed and tracked celestial bodies, their understanding of planetary orbits was not “accurate” in the modern scientific sense. They didn’t have the same understanding of elliptical orbits or the physics governing planetary motion.
  • Giant Entities and DNA: The depictions of “giant entities” are artistic representations of their deities, reflecting their religious beliefs and mythology. The suggestion that these images depict “symbols resembling human DNA sequences” is a modern interpretation and lacks any basis in Sumerian culture or understanding of biology. The concept of DNA was, of course, unknown to them.
  • Medical Symbols: The claim about Sumerian symbols resembling modern medical symbols is also misleading. While some symbols might share a superficial resemblance, this is likely coincidental. The development of medical symbols is a complex and evolving process, and attributing modern symbols directly to the Sumerians is an oversimplification.

In summary: The text mixes genuine information about the Sumerians with inaccurate and speculative interpretations. It’s crucial to distinguish between what we know about the Sumerians based on evidence and what are simply modern conjectures. While their achievements are impressive, attributing modern scientific knowledge to them is not supported by historical or archaeological findings.
