Sumerian slice of life: part 1
14 years ago
General
A letter I translated from Sumerian to English.
It is from the Ur III period around 2100 BC to a man named Lu gi na asking why his annual grain harvest was late.
To Lu gi na
The sailor
who owes grain
to the Bright Inanna
who was at your houses window,
when the waters flooded?
From the royal fields
to the window of your stable
who will establish the good grains
that turn our fate?
