Alulim and the Dawn of Sumerian Kingship in Ancient Sumer | History for Sleep

In this episode, we return to the opening line of the Sumerian King List—before inventions, before wars, before any ruler is given a story. The tablets begin with a quiet statement that shapes everything that follows: “kingship descended from heaven.” Only after that claim does the first city appear. Eridu. And only then does the first name enter the record: Alulim—not introduced with deeds or titles, but placed as the first holder of an authority that seems to arrive already complete.

Why does Sumer’s earliest history begin like an administrative preface rather than a legend? Why does the list measure Alulim’s reign in immense numbers—constructed with the same accounting logic used for grain and labor—yet refuse to explain what those years meant? And what happens when archaeology at Eridu reveals deep temple continuity long before kings are clearly visible in the material record?

In this slow, atmospheric History for Sleep journey, we follow the structure, the sequence, and the silence—where institutions move between cities, where order exists before names, and where the beginning of history is marked not by a founding moment, but by an arrival.
