In Sumerian mythology, Nammu was a primeval goddess, corresponding to Tiamat in Babylonian mythology.
Nammu is associated to the oldest generation of Mesopotamian deities. She is given the title "mother who gave birth to the heavens and the earth". She has the idea of creating mankind.
At Nammu Software Development Company, we believe the understanding of the Mesopotamian Civilization is fundamental.
Below an extract of the Britannica Encyclopedia :
"More than 5,000 years ago, people in Mesopotamia developed what is thought to have been the world’s first writing
system. They pushed styluses - specially pointed sticks - into soft clay tablets, leaving marks in the clay as symbols.
When the clay hardened, it became a permanent record. Some clay tablets have survived to this day. They hold clues to
the lives of these people.
Mesopotamia is part of the “Fertile Crescent,” an arc of land through the Middle East connecting with Egypt in the west.
The cultures of Mesopotamia are considered civilizations because their people: had writing, had settled communities in
the form of villages, planted their own food, had domesticated animals, and had different orders of workers.
Compared with the lives of most people at that time, civilization in Mesopotamia was sophisticated and unusual. The
shift from hunting and gathering to civilization allowed Mesopotamians to diversify.
Farmers in Mesopotamia grew more than their personal needs. Their surplus food allowed others to specialize in new
duties. Some made tools. Some built homes or cooked food. Some became priests or leaders. Still more people worked for
the leaders, keeping written records of laws, labor, and goods for trade.
The use of law in Mesopotamia is important, as it set an example for civilizations to come. Hammurabi, a Babylonian king
who lived in Mesopotamia 38 centuries ago, is still famous today for his laws. The contributions of Babylonian
mathematicians and astronomers also live on."
Our team is inspired by the beauty of this civilization and has chosen Nammu as the name of the company.
