Writing, laws, cities, and science-these and other innovations were devised by the enterprising peoples living in Sumer, the land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, some 5,000 years ago.
The foundations of human civilization first flowered in the fertile lands between the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers. Known today as Sumer, this ground-breaking culture gave birth to not only the first cities but also innovations in transportation, literature, and monumental architecture.
For more than 2,000 years, Sumerian culture flourished and was the dominant power in Mesopotamia. Across the region that is now southern Iraq, powerful city-states emerged, towering ziggurats rose, sweeping epics were told, and golden jewelry adorned the rich and powerful.
Dominance and control would shift among its glorious cities as the years rolled by. The civilization reached its peak in the late third millennium B.C and then gradually fell away.
Sumerian civilization and its achievements would be forgotten for millennia, until archaeologists began exploring the region in earnest in the 19th and 20th centuries.
