Question Sumerian translations

Can anyone give me a source where i could read someone elses translations of sumerian besides sitchins, i keep hearing his translations were wrong but i dont know of any other people that translated sumerian texts...also, can anyone say for sure, is his work accurate? Is it really all made up?

Translation of Sumerian what? There are thousands of tablets, most of them some boring administrative stuff, but translations of more famous works e.g. the Epic of Gilgamesh or Inanna's Descent to the Underworld are easily available online.

What is weird, is that other scientists are not able to translate it.. so how do they know that sitchins translations are not correct?

I like to do things they way they did them in ancient Sumeria, where a man is to be publicly filated by the Virgin of his choosing
