Although marriages in ancient Egypt
were arranged for communal stability
and personal advancement, there is
ample evidence that romantic love was
as important to the people as it is to
those in the present day.
Site of one of the earliest known civilization, located in the
southernmost part of Mesopotamia, between the Tigris and
Euphrates rivers, in the area that later became Babylonia and
is now southern Iraq from around Baghdad to the Persian
Gulf. It was somewhere around 8000 BC that people found the
concept of agriculture, and slowly started to domesticate
animals for both the purpose of food as well as to assist in
agriculture.
The word for `love’ was a compound verb that, in its
literal sense, meant `to measure the earth,’ that is,
`to mark off land’.
Bridegroom, dear to my heart,
Goodly is your beauty, honeysweet,
Lion, dear to my heart,
Goodly is your beauty, honeysweet.
Bridegroom, let me caress you,
My precious caress is more savory than honey,
In the bedchamber, honey-filled,
Let me enjoy your goodly beauty,
Lion, let me caress you.
My precious caress is more savory than honey.
Bridegroom, you have taken your pleasure of me,
Tell my mother, she will give you delicacies,
My father, he will give you gifts.
You, because you love me,
Give me pray of your caresses,
My lord god, my lord protector,
My SHU-SIN, who gladdens ENLIL's heart,
Give my pray of your caresses

Editor's Notes

  1. In research the vast majority of the concept of love is based on the relationship between two people.
  2. Sumerians decidedly viewed love as a business deal.
  3. One of the worlds first known love poems circa 2029 BC over 4000 years old.
  4. all of our love-struck men and women showed activity in two specific regions:  1) the Ventral Tegmental Area or VTA, located near the base of the brain; and 2) the Caudate Nucleus, a region of the Striatum - a multi-part brain area located a bit higher in the head.  The Caudate integrates your “rush” of romantic passion with your complex emotions and thoughts about your beloved. Manufactures Dopamine
  5. Taking from the psychology of love presentation, Dr. Frank Conner Survival-we are social animals we like living in community we are inadequate as a species we cant run fast not strong don’t hide well we survive in community. Procreation-progeny, pair up cultural norms babies is part of the coupling Socialization-need to socialize, share meals, conversation, partnership Affirmation-most important, helps you feel good about yourself help make sense of the grand meaning. Dr. Frank Conner 2009-2020 Psychology of love series.
