Was Sumerian Civilization Exclusively Male Dominated?

Answer 1

Probably as most eastern religions have been.
The Sumerian civilization was established before 4000 BC.

But I did find this passage from their myths:
Yet Gilgamesh also reveals that the official scribe of the Sumerian heaven was a woman, and the invention of writing had been credited to a Goddess.
So they must've been cool with women !

Remnants of Lemuria created a male-dominated Empire system.

Answer 2

Yes, the SUmerians were patriarchal with women mainly in charge of food, clothing, and raising of children. All else fell under the purview of the men.

Answer 3

no there was one queen listed in the the Sumerian king list. her name was Kubaba

The house of Kubaba" is mentioned "in the reign of Puzur-Nirah, king of Akšak" (line 38) in the Weidner "Chronicle", a propagandistic letter attempting to predate the shrine of Marduk to an early period: "Kubaba gave bread to the fisherman and gave water, she made him offer the fish to Esagila" (line 43). Her reign as the only "king" of the 3rd Dynasty of Kish was one of peace and prosperity. Her reign is contemporary with the "Early Dynastic III" period of Sumer. Her reign is listed to have lasted for 100 years. If she is a historical ruler, she probably lived in the 23rd to 25th century BC. Shrines in her honour spread throughout Mesopotamia[1][2]. In the Hurrian area she may be identified with Kebat, or Hepat, one title of the Hurrian Mother Goddess Hannahannah (from Hurrian hannah, "mother"). Abdi-Kheba (= the servant of Kheba), was the palace mayor, ruling Jerusalem at the time of the Amarna Letters (1350 BCE).

Answer 4

According to my college notes, since we just got done with these early civilizations, it was a patriarchal society. I don't remember the professor mentioning anything else about if the women could do anything beyond being a wife and mother. I have provided a link that might help.

Answer 5

the sumerian culture was predominately male oriented as opposed to the old european culture of the 6th millenium down to the minoan period which was female dominated.
