and algebra considered the fundaments of modern day
mathematics. They dealt with mathematics, astronomy and
astrology. We continue today to use the same zodiac signs as
they did. The original five planets known until Kepler found
the other ones were discovered by the Sumerians.”
MÜZE DERGİ: Are there Sumerian vestiges in Anatolia?
MUAZZEZ İLMİYE ÇIĞ: “No, they never came up to Anatolia.”
MÜZE DERGİ: How did you come about to be interested
in Sumerology?
MUAZZEZ İLMİYE ÇIĞ: “I and my friend, we were two
happy teachers working in a beautiful place like Eskişehir,
but both of us were daredevils! As soon as the Faculty of
Language, History and Geography was established in Ankara,

but it was full and I had to choose another department...”

Hatice Kızıl, we decided that the tablets had to be catalogued and

Following my retirement in 1972, I continued to work at home. I wrote
18 books.”
MÜZE DERGİ: Is there a new book under preparation?
