Emegr/Emegir script--the Sumerian Cuneiform

*Emegr/Emegir was the term the ancient nation -population of a vast area called his script and speech in the III-I millenia BCE. In XIX century researchers called the script "the cuneiform script". Julius Oppert wrote that word and another word the Sumerian" were coined and introduced into science literature because at the early stage of the studies in XIX century researchers had not discovered the text saying what that ancient people called their nation, their language, their script.

The Enygmatic Person in 580-ies BCE

The image of Nabukodori II chiselled on a cliff or a piece of stone is not of a fat man with glaring frightening looks one would expect, considering the greatness of his vast kingdom that included the river Khapi/Nyl in what was called KMT in the West and Margiana in the East. To the amazement of any XXI century lover of the ancient history he was a tall and very thin man of over 50 with a look of a devoted and prudent man. His gaze is directed beyond the sculptor to distant spot. It was a surprise to me to see a long candle-like object in his devotionally upheld hand. Some four or five long sentences inscribed on the stone- block in the Emegr* script might tell important facts concerning him. I was unable to find the translation of that text in any modern language, so the text is a mystery to me. The author of the English-language information on the image of that stone wrote that the stone-block was very important because to the right of the king the Temple Tower of Babili was depicted- that was( and maybe still is) the only image of that famous edifice available to the said author in the 1950-ies.
