ancient Sumerian links?


I read before in a newspaper article that some of the earliest settlers in the country arrived in the shores of Southern Mindanao and landed particularly in the present municipality of Palembang, Sultan Kudarat (Palembang was also the name of the capital city of the ancient Sri-Vijayan empire based in Sumatra, Indonesia)sometime in the 5th century. This was somehow reconfirmed by this report that I read a while ago wherein stolen artifacts were discovered that could lead to a lost tribe:

Artifacts discovery may lead to lost tribe

However, I find the faces of these anthropomorphic artifact intriguing:



As anyone may notice it seemed to have striking similarity, particularly with the distinct "eyebrow" pattern, with that of an ancient Sumerian artifact:






Not surprisingly, I had once read about the creation mythology of another indigenous group, the Samal tribe in Davao hours away from the find but still south of Mindanao, having similarity with the creation mythology of the ancient Sumerians. Ancient stories also narrate about a certain giant race known as the "Dinagat" that once inhabited Samal Island. But these giants were rude and bullying, and would often raid neighboring mainland villages, stealing and violating their women. The giants were eventually eliminated by the opressed villagers by drifting a boatload of poisoned food, in retaliation for their offenses. Skeletal remains of these giants were said to be discovered in some parts of the island, but some of these were looted through the years. These reminded of the biblical giants of yore that were offsprings of nephilims, part 'god' and part humans. It is evident that biblical accounts borrowed their sources from ancient Sumerian knowledge.

The Sumerians were considered to be the oldest yet strangely advanced civilization that existed in the Fertile crescent (present day areas in Iraq) during the post-deluvian era (after the Flood). The father of biblical Abraham (his name was changed from Abram after converting to monotheism, supposedly from the Sanskrit word "Brahma") was a Sumerian priest. The Sumerian civilization mysteriously vanished thousands of years ago.

Hi,

You are right. The Sumerian civilization was strangly advanced from the very beginning. It also vanished mysteriously.
Now we say mysteriously because the reasons have been hidden or lost. But it's equally a historical fact when and why the destruction of Sumer took place.
I take the opportunity to mention my book, "Planet of Gold - White Powder of Gold and the Christian Forgery". The real human history, gods and secret societies.

@ Andreas

Yes, I also did research as to why ancient Sumeria 'mysteriously" vanished. I recalled ancient Hittite documents narrated the demise of this once great civilization in contemporary with the destruction of biblical Sodom and Gomorrah, where the masterminded attack of the Sumerian gods backfired into their people when dark clouds (most likely radioactive fallout) from th destroyed 2 cities were blown by the wind towards the Sumerian habitations, causing the very sudden extinction of a once great civilization that thrived for thousands of years.

Are those 2000-year old Sarangani artifacts related to present-day tribes like Blaan & Tboli?

The early ancestors of the tribes you mentioned probably arrived only later, said to be about 500 A.D. perhaps the 'lost tribe' arrived earlier as carbon dating predated it at 5 BC. Also the latter tribes did not practice burying their dead in anthropomorphic jars. perhaps the kind of burial practice would reveal a clue to the mystery of this 'lost tribe'
