The King List — 241,200 Years Before the Flood
A research archive examining the Sumerian King List, its eight pre-flood rulers, five cities, enormous reign lengths, and unresolved historical questions.
Field notes
The project arranges its argument around the textual record and the places named within it, especially Eridu and Shuruppak. It notes that more than a dozen copies survive from multiple cities and centuries, while the pre-flood section supplies only rulers, durations, and transfers rather than stories or deeds. The homepage also connects the list to flood traditions, Mesopotamian astronomy, farming infrastructure, and the persistence of base-60 measurement.
