Dragons in Ancient Sumer? : Othor Games

» Fri May 13, 2011 7:33 pm

I've discovered that dragons were in fact real, and much like in Skyrim they have left us clues around the world!

This is an ancient stone tablet from Sumer.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Komodo_dragon But whoever made the dragon language text said they got it from how a dragon would carve their talons into rocks. One of the GI videos has more info on it.

Even if we did have a major scientific discovery, and dragons were in fact real...

...it still wouldn't belong in the Skyrim forum.

Oh man, thanks! This thread reminded me of that documentary. I saw it years ago when it aired and I came in in the middle of it. I had no idea it was intentionally fictional, and I thought it was real. It blew my mind.

Meh, on a serious note I honestly posted this because I think it's very fascinating to see where the language might come from and how it's developed from 'scratch'. But if no one else finds it the least bit exciting then just let it sink to the bottom then!

Didn't intend to spam the forum in any way.

All fantasy languages are based on real world languages to a certain degree. Be it Sanskrit, Gaulic, whatever.

The sumerians invented writing. In cuneiform. Just because cuneiform sort of resembles a fictional language made up by a gaming company does not mean dragons exist.

This. I don't think anyone can see the connection but you, OP.

IIRC, the "dragons" were the (what we would call) spaceships/flying machines of the "Gods". They were also called such things as "Thunder Birds", "Divine Birds", "Divine Winds", and other such things (one Sumerian-to-English translates a vehicle as "Divine Storm Bird".)

Check into the "12th Planet" series by Zecheria Sitchin. Enormously entertaining and informative if you're a raving lunatic Ancient-Aliens type like me.

Lol that was pretty funny

Actually, i looked at the writing on the tablet closer, and I gotta say, cuneiform and dragonish do look very similar.
