Day 4: Museum and Noah Kramer

 

Day 4:

I didn't end up going to Denali. I slept in. What can I say? I ended up going to a museum in Anchorage instead. And I tell you what, it was a good museum. I only had the arbiters tell me I couldn't do something one time. I was getting a little too creative with a couple of their hands on experiments...apparently. I was crossing the components of two different displays to levitate balls in mid air. I thought it was what you were suppose to do. A man in a black suite walked over and said that I could wreck their machine, but I could tell that he thought what I was doing was pretty dang cool! 

All these museums are doing to me is making me seriously contemplate incorporating a laboratory into my house plans. I'll regret posting that I'm sure. But, oh well.

From there I went to Barnes and Noble. As much as I love book stores I'm always a little disappointed at how little there always is about Ancient Sumer. They only had one book about it (that I already have) called The Sumerians, by Samuel Noah Kramer. 

Kramer was a leading Assyriologist with a depth of knowledge pertaining to ancient Sumer, really, unparalleled. As far as I know he has written five books on the topic, of which, I own three. 

Anyway, I'm going to call it a night. 

Goodnight.
