just do a google search for sumerian and babylonian history...you should be able to find everything you need on a plethora of reliable sources
i've recently developed an obsession with sumeria and the annunaki(the creation gods of sumerian mythology). the term has been translated as "those
who came to earth from the heavens." interesting stuff, especially when delving into sumerian astronomy, and how ridiculously accurate they were in
mapping out our solar system
Looking for information about ancient Mesopotamia, page 1

Are you searching for general information on the area, or do you want specific things? I use Wikipedia if I need a quick intro, but if I want a quick
overview of the whole field, I look at several university sites to see what's being taught in courses in these fields (example:
humanities.uchicago.edu... ) because the teachers will often post a syllabus for the course with recommended readings.
That gives you names that you can google for.
Usenet also has FAQs from the scholars on the discussion lists. They're a handy way to get an overview:
sumerian - home.comcast.net...
Assyro-Babylonian FAQ: home.comcast.net...
The Sacred Texts site has reliable information on the mythology:
www.sacred-texts.com...
Although the scholarship here is old (books are dated 1900-1950), it serves as a good introduction to the beliefs and mythologies of the whole area:
www.sacred-texts.com...
And after you've gotten your feet wet with that, then the next thing to look at is the archaeology of the regions you're interested in and THEN hop over to scholar.google.com... and read up on all the new findings and interesting developments in the scholarly fields.
