Most people know the ancient world as Romans, Greeks and Egyptians. But were did they get inspiration and where did they learn from? Sumeria gave us so much of what we today consider the basis of civilisation - the first proper writing system, the wheel, the first empire and much more. This website aims to give you an idea of what Sumeria was and why it is relevant, and allows you to dig even deeper if you are interested.
Sumeria is deeply linked to its geography. The hot dry climate by the rivers Tigris and Euphrates forced its inhabitants to organise themselves to build irrigation canals. Read more about the Sumerian geography.
Sumeria spans thousands of years of history. Learn about how archeology helps us understand this period, read about Sumeria by time period or track a city, kingdom or empire through the ages.
