Comment by ThunderWolf on June 23, 2008 at 11:53pm - Hi all! I'm a pledged priest of Inanna and Dumuzi. As such I've done some reading of archeological texts to learn more about the ancient people of my patrons. I've only completed one of them so far, but I do find the history/archeology of Sumer interesting and thought I'd join this group.
