These are a few essays I've written. All of them are from
my time at college. They're all about religion. Unless I decide
to put up some of my essays on science at some point.
Worship And Suffering In Ancient Mesopotamian Religion
This is my Division Three, which I like to call a senior
thesis on steroids and crack. It's what I spent my last year
of college doing, an independant study of Sumerian religion
that led to this very long essay. After learning more about
the subject than at least 95% of the people in this world,
if not 99%, I knew enough to know that I was a mere beginner
who knew nothing at all. Sadly, far too many people are ignorant
of ancient Mesopotamia, and Sumer especially. I'd like to
do my little part to correct that, so now you can get a quite basic overview
of their religion here. This is one of the bases of Western
civilization, after all.
