    Mysterious Sumerian Statues With Big Blue Eyes – A Sign From The Gods

    Ancientpages.com – Sumerians made several ancient statues of beings who had very big and blue eyes. These ancient statues were then placed  in the high temple on top of the ziggurat. It seems clear that the eye motif on these figures was very significant to our ancestors.
    Why are the eyes usually looking up to something? What was the purpose or symbolism behind those big blue eyes?

    What Did Sumerians Look Like?

    Forensic archaeologist Jane Shuter studied several Sumerian burial grounds that contained skeletons. According to her, Sumerians were short and solid. They had thin lips, straight thin noses, and eyes that sloped downward. Shuter and other archaeologists suggest that Sumerians were dark-skinned, dark-eyed and dark-haired. Sumerians also referred to themselves as “the dark-haired people.”
    More than 5,000 years ago, the Sumerian culture emerged on a floodplain along the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in Mesopotamian, a region today known as southern Iraq. The word Mesopotamia comes from Greek words meaning “land between the rivers.”

    It was one of the most intriguing ancient civilizations that became famous for inventing cuneiform script.
    The Sumerians built large cities and ziggurats that had the form of a terraced step pyramid and served as temples. Sumerians were skilled astronomers, they mastered medicine and created a sophisticated farming society. They were without doubts one of the most advanced ancient civilizations.

    Importance Of Religion In Sumerian Civilization

    Ancient Sumer had a very complex pantheon of gods and goddesses, but four of these powerful figures played an important role because they were creators of everything. The Sumerian gods were depicted in human form. One of the most powerful and important gods was Enlil who arrived on Earth before humans were created.

    Blue Eyes Were A Sign From The Gods

    Scientists at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark have tracked down a genetic mutation, which took place 6-10,000 years ago, and is the cause of the eye color of all blue-eyed humans alive on the planet today. It is possible that some Sumerians did have blue eyes, but if that was the case it is unlikely it was many people. Blue eyes were by no means common among Sumerians.
    Like many other ancient civilizations, the Sumerians considered blue eyes to be a sign of gods. Some eyes are outlined and those without anything but white for the eyes have most likely lost the color that was inserted when the sculpture was new.
