We can put this matter aside for now, but why did this Sumerian leader tell me this? Obviously he is not direct enough. If we can think of dragons alone, Hesha can also think of it, that is taking off her pants and farting.

Many times in one fell swoop. The old man must have wanted to hint at something else, but these things can only be guessed from the story.

"Miss Hesha, do you know why this old man told me this?" I asked.

"I don't know either, but he seldom talks, and he only said so much when he saw you today." Hesha replied.

"Then please ask him why he has to say so much today?"

Hesha immediately turned her head and muttered something.

The old leader thought for a while and said: "gilgamesh."

Hesha was about to translate, but I stopped her with my hand: "I understand this sentence, it is Gilgamesh, the name of the so-called hero."

The old man seemed no longer willing to say anything more and kept waving his hands. His son or grandson stood up and chattered a lot to Hesha.

Hesha translated: "He said that what needs to be said has been said, and it is time for us to leave. If we want, we can go to the Amorites to see if there may be any other information."

"Are you kidding us?" I asked.

"I don't know." Hersha replied.

"Well, let's go to the Amorites first." I tried to look as bored as possible so that Hesha wouldn't notice anything strange about me. The old leader just kept singing the Epic of Gilgamesh, which showed that

There must be some secrets hidden in it. Gilgamesh and Enkidu, as well as the monster Humbaba, and yes, there seems to be a beetle. It seems to be of no use for the time being, so I won't care about it for now.

Not long after we walked, we stepped into the territory of the Amorites. I know about the Sumerians because of history books, but I only learned about the existence of the Amorites from movies. Dwayne Johnson’s performance in The Scorpion King is really

Not bad, a thoroughgoing Akkadian, very powerful. But such a powerful race was killed by the Amorites in front of us.

"What's the difference between the Amorites and the Sumerians? Is it just like the Han and Mongolians in China?" I asked Brother Peng.

"Do you know the Semitic people?" Brother Peng asked.

"I don't know." I shrugged.

So Brother Peng started teaching me again: "The full name of Semites is Semites. They are nomadic people who originated from the Arabian Peninsula a long time ago. It is said that Noah's son Shem is their ancestor."

"Noah? Is that the Noah in Noah's Ark?" I asked.

"Yes, that's him." Brother Peng said.

"Why are we related to him again? Isn't Noah's Ark something from Christianity? This is the territory of Islam." I asked in confusion.

"In fact, the legend of the great flood that first appeared in the world came from here. Christianity also learned from here to create Noah's Ark. In fact, there are legends of floods in many places in the world, including China's Dayu who controlled the floods." Brother Peng.

explain.

"Okay, let's ignore this kind of questions for now. You can continue."

"Sumere was the original inhabitants here. The four ancient civilizations we often call are ancient Babylon, ancient Egypt, ancient India and ancient China. In fact, this is wrong. In the true sense, it will be the Mesopotamia Civilization, the Nile River Civilization,

The Indus-Gangetic civilization and the Yangtze-Yellow River civilization. The so-called ancient civilizations are just the names used by the Chinese. The Mesopotamian civilization mainly refers to the Sumerian civilization thousands of years ago, not the Babylonian Kingdom as we generally think.

civilization." Brother Peng said.

"Then why isn't it called Sumerian civilization?" I asked.

"It must have been mentioned in the history books that the Lianghe Civilization at that time was actually a city-state system, similar to the feudal princes in China before. In fact, each city-state was a small country, and there were often wars between them.

.But the rise of the Semites was beyond their expectation."

If I said that I just admired Brother Peng before I told him, then I can only describe him as worship in what I said next.

The ancient Semites lived by animal husbandry. They originally lived in the northern Sahara region and originated from the Arabian Peninsula. Around 5000 BC, the climate changed drastically and they began to migrate eastward, gradually arriving in the two river basins of West Asia and the Syrian grasslands.

It retains a fairly unified ethnic community. By the beginning of the third millennium BC, it was clearly divided into two branches, East and West, based on language. The East Semites lived in the northern part of the Mesopotamia and spoke the Acate language.

People absorb and integrate each other's language through contact. From 3200 BC to the beginning of AD, its representatives are Akkadians, Babylonians, and Assyrians. According to modern classification, this branch is called "Semitic"

"Northern Branch". The West Semites are divided into three branches: the Northwest Branch (now called the North and Middle Branch of Semites), which refers to various ethnic groups distributed in Palestine, Syria, and northern Mesopotamia. The earliest representative

They were Amorites, Canaanites, and Ugarites. After about 2,000 BC, there were Phoenicians, Jews, Aramaeans, Moabites, Aodis, etc. The middle branch (now called Shem)

The central branch of the Mitite (Southern Central Branch) was from about 2000 BC to 1000 BC, and its representatives were the Lisyanites, the Samds, etc., and were later unified and collectively called the Arabs. The Arabs are the youngest Semitic people.

One branch, originating from the Arabian Peninsula. With the rise of Islam in the seventh century, a major migration of Semites began. They are now distributed in Egypt, Sudan, Morocco, Algeria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Yemen, Tunisia, and Lebanon.

, Jordan, Libya, Kuwait and other countries, can be divided into 47 ethnic groups according to dialects, history, cultural traditions and region. The Southern Branch (now called the Southern Semitic Branch) is distributed in the south of the Arabian Peninsula. The ancient representatives include the Ma-Shemites.

The Saba people, Cataban people, Hadera people, etc., the southern branch crossed the Red Sea to the Horn of Africa in the seventh century, and are the ancestors of the Semitic peoples in present-day Ethiopia. The Mahri people and others belong to this group. From these

According to the account, “The Arabian Peninsula may be the cradle of the Semitic people. After the Semitic people grew up in this place, they migrated to the fertile crescent area (i.e., Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine and Jordan), and later became the Babylonians in history.

, Assyrians, Phoenicians and Hebrews. It is reasonable and reasonable to say that the Arabian Peninsula is the birthplace of pure Semitic culture." "There are still two living peoples.

, can represent the Semitic people, one is the Arabs and the other is the Jews; in terms of special appearance and psychological characteristics, the Semitic characteristics preserved by the Arabs are much richer than those of the Jews." From this we can see the creation of Judaism and Christianity

The Hebrews (people of the Jewish nation) and the Quraysh (people of the Arab nation) who first introduced Islam are all descendants of the Semites.

Brother Peng said so much without even taking a breath. Cat and I were shocked and stood there dumbly, unable to walk. Even Hesha was a little surprised and asked: "You are a madman."

?"

"No, it's just that the racial problem in the Arab region is huge, and it's worth studying. In fact, they are so noisy because they all have the same ancestors thousands of years ago, the Semites." Brother Peng finally concluded.

"You talked a lot of nonsense, but you still didn't tell me the difference between the Sumerians and the Amorites." I said helplessly.

"Oh, I think you understand. In fact, the Semites and Sumerians were both residents of the Arabian Peninsula more than five thousand years ago. In layman's terms, one farmed and the other was nomadic. The stability of farming

Not moving from one place, the nomads changed places every year, and ended up walking farther and farther, and finally reached North Africa, which is now the Sahara Desert. As a result, due to climate change, they finally returned to this place, and then took root.

They continued to develop and grow. Just like the Mongols, they were very powerful. The early representatives were the Amorites. They overthrew the Urdi dynasty of the Sumerians and established the so-called Kingdom of Babylon. In the long history, there were no

It must be that advanced civilization defeated the old civilization. For example, did the Mongolian civilization definitely surpass the Han civilization? But the Amorites were very smart. They knew that they were not as good as the Sumerians, so they learned a lot of things and gradually assimilated the rest.

The Sumerians caused the Sumerians to truly disappear from the world. From this point of view, they were much better than the Mongols. They only thought that massacre could solve all problems, but they did not know the importance of civilization, and even

Many Mongolians have also been assimilated into Han people."

"You mean, the Amorites killed the Sumerians, but they were also an ancestor many years ago?" I asked.

"That's what it means." Brother Peng said with certainty.

"Then why did the Amorites come back here? Why can they live in peace?" I continued to ask.

"Didn't I tell you just now? The Amorites have assimilated a large part of the Sumerians, so in fact, the Amorites here are still Sumerians, with the same blood, but different cultures. As for why they didn't fight, I think we should

It’s because the Sumerians came earlier and didn’t know about the war at all. They didn’t even know that their country had been destroyed long ago. They were the only Sumerians left in the world.” Peng Ge regretted.

said.

"Fuck, what you said is true." Mao'er, who hadn't spoken for a long time, spoke up. Obviously, Brother Peng's words made him find it difficult to understand, or in other words, incomprehensible.

"So? The Hanging Gardens were built by the Amorites?" I suddenly remembered.

"Yes, it is a manifestation of the Amorites absorbing the advanced civilization of the Sumerians. They don't know what method they used to build this aerial miracle. What is even more puzzling is that at such a height, there are

The complete irrigation system, I don’t know how the water goes up, so I have to ask today.” Brother Peng’s eyes were shining.

"I guess you will be disappointed. Maybe the Amorites here came down before the Hanging Garden was built." I struck.

"It doesn't matter, I have gained enough now." Brother Peng said with satisfaction.
