There is a possibility the Fara Period in achaeology and known history was actually a direct result of the ancient prophet-king Enoch being 'translated' into Heaven and being taught syllabic writing by angels then bringing that writing back to humans in Sippar where he had been king and teaching it and what he had written about Heaven and Earth. The site that gives its name to the Fara Period starting around 2700 BC is Tel Fara in Southern Mesopotamia (Iraq) and this was where Enoch's son and successor ruled the kingdom of Sumer in Sumerian times just before the great flood. A library of books unearthed there shows humans were starting to write down their flow of thoughts using cuneiform adapted for this purpose called syllabic text. Yet an equally important site for books of writing and libraries of books is the ancient city of Sippar. Here Enoch ruled around 2800 BC before what is described as his 'translation' when legends and scripture and ancient Sumerian and Akkadian texts say he was taken into Heaven by angels and told to record what he saw in a book and bring it back to teach those on earth. The place from which this seems to have happened is according to the Sumerian King Lists a city he used as his kingdom's capital, Sippar. So to find so much syllabic text written in Sippar is hugely significant yet it was the next capital Shuruppak that gives us the name of this period in history - the Fara Period, after the modern name of the site, Tel Fara. The Book of Enoch written in many languages and translated several times between languages till this day records these events but may be the actial writings of Enoch using the first syllabic writing system to pass on those lessons from Heaven to humans. http://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/boe/boe004.htm
