no response to this quotation?"In addition, the habit of Sumerians to consider civilization and the world as an interchangeable term. "
At first blush, it suggests that the "world" is a construct made by or for humans.
Not a physical place, but a political and cutural realm.
Another interpretation may present this reality as a sim world, a computer program that reboots every so often. You know my theory on the means of deconstruction -- comets.
World ages would be caused by these resets. The Mayans proposed 4 previous ages, making this the 5th. Ovid and Hesiod spoke metaphorically, or maybe factually, of 4 previous ages: Gold. Silver, Bronze, Iron. What metal describes our current world? Sorry, plastic is not a metal.
