The minister for transport in Iraq made a controversial speech at the inauguration of a new airport in southern city of Dhi Qar, in which he stated that ancient Sumerians built the first airports 7,000 years ago and launched spaceships from there to explore other planets.

He also claimed that all the world’s angels were Sumerian. To support his claims, he referred to the work of the late Sumerian expert Samuel Kramer, who highlighted the Sumerians’ advanced understanding of the cosmos.

The planet Jupiter, for example, was associated with their main god, Marduk, patron deity of the city of Babylon.
