Neal Stephenson Quote
What makes one Sumerian city better than another one? A bigger ziggurat? Abetter football team?Better me.What are me?Rules or principles that control the operation of society, like a code of laws,but on a more fundamental level.I don't get it.That is the point. Sumerian myths are not 'readable' or 'enjoyable' in thesame sense that Greek and Hebrew myths are. They reflect a fundamentallydifferent consciousness from ours.
