In this section at enenuru.net, we offer links
to some of the most interesting and active communities on the
net. This is an effort to increase networking and communication
among enthusiasts, students and experts, although our choices
below are based on simple criteria: we have linked just those
sites which are academically orientated and which aren't completely
and entirely defunct and inactive. Because most online ANE communities
are entirely inactive, the section will perhaps remain perhaps
modest..
General discussion boards:
Of this type of board which actively discusses
Sumer and or Mesopotamia I can only mention two currently. And
the livejournal doesnt really fit here. Please contact us if you
know addition boards to list!

Facebook Groups:
Facebook groups are not as sparse on the subject,
although do not expect discussion at any of the below boards.
A good strategy is perhaps to contact those you know or might
like to know privately is you divine similar interests and aptitude.

StudiVZ:
This is the German facebook, modeled much in the
line of facebook but with some difference - it is even more centered
on Students (StudiVZ is short for Studiverzeichnis which translates
'Student lists'). Student groups are strong here, and most often
you can view anyone profile and see their interests: helpful if
you intend to introduce yourself. The following groups are interesting
here:
