A Short History of Sumer and the Sumerian Civilization from Mesopotamia

The Sumerians flourished in Mesopotamia between c. 4100 - 1750 BCE in the region of Sumer which was not a country, but a region made up of a number of walled city-states, each with its own king. The Sumerian civilization developed the first schools and jobs and developed the first cosmology and cosmogony, the concept of time, some of the oldest wheeled vehicles and the first-ever city. One of the most important innovations of the Sumerians was writing which is known as cuneiform, and was a script which was used by a number of Mesopotamian cultures including the Babylonians, the Akkadians and the Elamites.
The archaeology of Sumer establishes Uruk as the oldest city; however, according to the Sumerians, Eridu was the first city in the world, presided over by Enki, the god of water and wisdom. Eridu was seen as the home of the gods and the birthplace of the rules governing civilisation and, in Mesopotamian mythology, is comparable to the biblical Garden of Eden.

    Well, not really similarities, but there are elements that survived into Kurdish. Sumer was a collection of mega cities. They were basically the USA of the ancient times. Countless of immigrants gathering around the metropolies. Their traditions were quite estranged from what we would interpret as culture. But you can find many Sumerian words surviving into Kurdish. Also it's proven that Proto-Kurdish tribes were having an elementary part in those cities. And I mean here not the Gutis who were part of the non-assimilated tribes. I mean before that. Because Sumerian mythology says something about tribes wandering from the North to the South. Also, one interesting thing to look up is the origin of Gilgamesh or Bilga(mesh) (abbreviated in Hurrian and written with a "B"). There is still a Kurdish tribe around the same region were Gutians lived (today their name is continued in Mount Cudi Guti) that carries the same abbreviated name "Bilga". Also, "Ga" and "Gamesh" literally continued into Kurdish with the meaning "Ox" and "Bull" :), same as the mythological dude's symbolism

    You did there a very nice summary! One of the best overviews out there. One thing you might want to check for further reference. "Shumeru" was the name given by the Akkadian immigrants to them, meaning "creators". The name "Black headed people" was an interpretation done on the actual native term "Sakhgiga" or something like that. The country was named "Ki-en-gir", thus "land of the kings".

    You said "Sagiga" = black people is an interpretation, than you state that "Ki-en-gir" is the real name. Why wouldn't "Ki-en-gir" be an interpretation too? The point is that, Sumer is a melanated civilisation, you like or not, maybe dravidian, maybe east african but black as fuck.

The old translations all mentioned "black haired", which in any case both seem to be very weird designations to apply on oneself. That is why I deem it as an interpretation. It doesn't really look like a real name. "Land of the kings" however is an objective term describing a function or status. I know what you mean. The dark skinned ones were actually Elamite royals. It's attested that they were attacking Sumer with ships. Elamites actually ruled over Aryan tribes who took on their name over the course of time. But Elamites are predecessors of the Tamil. The word Elam exists still in their language. Oh, right, you said dravidian. Yes them. Sumer in its base was another people

    I love your Lamassu t-shirt. I have two myself. But they're getting worn out. I will be ordering a new one today! Over the years I have learned so much from the Ancient History Encyclopedia, now World History Encyclopedia. I am Assyrian. And through all my research I still have not learned where the Assyrians came from. They're were just there. It seems like many of the ancient people, such as the Sumerians, just appeared in Mesopotamia. From my readings, I learned that the Assyrians and Babylonians came from the Akkadians. They both spoke Akkadian until Aramaic took over as the main language. I have so many questions. Some basic and some complicated. For example, why are Hebrew and Neo-Aramaic so similar? I speak Neo-Aramaic and hear a lot of similarities between the two. I keep reading and watching because I am fascinated and I want to learn more. If anyone knows, or could point me to some reading material about where the Assyrians came from....I guess Babylonians too since they were basically they same right? Both were Akkadians? Please show me the way. Thank you World History Encyclopedia and everyone reading the comments.

Ancient West Asian history is usually dominated by Achaemenid Persia's wars with Greeks.

The queen found it and took it in, raised it - that’s exactly what Moses ’story copies. Oppert was told at a conference in France by the great Sumerian researcher that Sumer was not a Semitic people. Another interesting two-letter SU ... invented the name of this people Oppert. Perhaps the best clue to where the Hittites went was, the Hatti people ruled this area, half of Egypt was all over Palestine, and they rebuilt some of the Sumerian cities and temples - glorifying their ancestors. Then they united with the Parthians, then with the Scythians as Parthians. The Sumerian people are to be found here. By the way, the Sea People are Hatti, Hittite people.

    Hi, Great video. I just wanted to bring to your notice that no one knows much about the Saraswathi / Sindu Valley culture because the ancient universities and libraries were all burnt by Islamic invaders. The Saraswathi Valley people should be well versed in writing at the time when Sumerians lived because these universities existed during this time already. The artifacts excuvated should be re-analyzed for real dates, which will bring the real truth and revelations about the mis-compiled history by Mr. Caldwell and Müller for their own Vested Interest.

    Please correct yourself. Mesopotamia is a geographical area where Sumerians, Akkadian, Assyrians and Bebylonia civilizations existed. Sumerians were Dravidian peoples whose language was categorised under Dravid/Tamil linguistic family. Tamil word Vannakam for welcome is synonyms with Hebrew Sholem "Alekom" or Salam "Valekum" .... Alekom and Valekum have same root as Tamilian Vanakam. Hebrew word for father is Abba is synonyms with Tamil Appa, Hebrew word for mother Imma is synonyms with Tamil word Amma. Ur in Tamil's family Kannada means "City" as you can observe many Indian cities like Nagpur, Kanpur and Jaipur have suffix "Ur" in their name.

    Genesis 10:8-12 (Torah) 8) Kush (Nubia, Sudan, Ethiopia) begot Nimrud: and he became a warrior/tyrant upon the earth. 9) He was a warrior hunter in the face of the Most High: therefore it is said, like Nimrud the warrior hunter in God’s face. 10) And the first of his kingdom was Babel (East Africa), Erekh, Akkad, (city north of Iraq) and Calneh, in the land of Shinar (Sumer) 11) From that land he went to Asshur, (Regions of Iraq, Turkey, Syria and Iran), and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah, 12) And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: that is the principal city. Nimrud ruled from East Africa all the way to India he was from North Sudan. The people out of North Sudan a part of the Kush Empire was where the men were very tall and strong Nimrud came from there. These people are mentioned by Isaiah in 18:2. These people were known to be a fierce warrior class. Nimrud was known by many different names, here is a list of some just to name a few: Gilgamesh, Baal, Belus, Melcartth, Adonis, Eshmun, Dumuzi, Dionysus, Bacchus, Orion, Mithra, Apollo, Ra, Tammuz, Osiris, Titan, Hercules. www.bible-history.com/old-testament/nimrod-kingdom.gif image.slidesharecdn.com/iraqhistoryppfinal-150506130819-conversion-gate01/95/the-history-of-kurdistan-and-iraq-30-638.jpg?cb=1430918125 Sir Henry Creswicke Rawlinson was convinced that there was a relationship between the Sumerians and Africans. As a result he used two African languages: one Semitic and the other Kushitic to decipher the cuneiform writing. Rawlinson was sure that the ancient Nubians and Puntites founded Mesopotamian civilization.(1) The Sumerians referred to themselves as ùĝ saĝ gíg ga (cuneiform: 𒌦 𒊕 𒈪 𒂵), phonetically /uŋ saŋ gi ga/, literally meaning "the black-headed people" Sumerians were head shavers just like the Egyptians. Sumerian Ruler Gudea Madrid, Spain - February 24, 2017: head of Gudea at National Archeological Museum of Madrid. He was a ruler of the Sumerian city of Lagash in Southern Mesopotamia. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/Testa_verde_di_berlino%2C_350_ac._ca._02.JPG thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/head-gudea-sumerian-art-madrid-spain-february-national-archeological-museum-madrid-was-ruler-city-lagash-88290696.jpg upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8c/Head_of_Gudea.jpg/1280px-Head_of_Gudea.jpg?1583915544988 The Sumerians came from the Sahara before it became a desert. Affinities exist between Nubia ware and pottery from Ennedi and Tibesti. Dr. Himanshu Narayan Singh (CSIR-Institute of Genomics & Integrative Sciences, Delhi, India) believes that this pottery spread from Nubia, through Mesopotamia and Iran southward into India.(5) The earliest examples of this BRW date to the Amratian period (c4000-3500 B.C.). These Saharan people were round-headed ancient Mediterranean types. They were often referred to as Cafsa or Capsians; a group of people not devoid of negroid characteristics according to Jehan Desanges a French historian, philologist and epigrapher, a specialist of North Africa during Antiquity. A member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton[1](11) Wyatt MacGaffey, Professor of Anthropology, Haverford College, Pennsylvania claims that the term “Mediterranean” is an anthropological euphemism for “Negro”. The boats of the Saharan people are similar to those found on ancient engravings of boats in Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley. Many of the boats found in the eastern desert of Egypt and among the Red Sea Hills show affinities to Mesopotamian models. The Sumerians and Elamites often referred to themselves as “ksh”. For example the ancient Sumerians called their dynasty “Kish”. The words “kish”, “kesh” and “kush” were also names for ancient Nubia-Sudan. The Elamites also came from Kush. According to the classical writer Strabo, Susa the centre of the Elamite civilization was founded by Tithonus, king of Kush. B.B. Lal (Braj Basi Lal, better known as B. B. Lal, is an Indian archaeologist. He was the Director General of the Archaeological Survey of India from 1968 to 1972 and has served as Director of the Indian Institute of Advanced Studies, Shimla.) has shown conclusively that the Dravidians (original east Indians); (southern India), came from Nubia and were related to the C-Group people who founded the Kerma dynasty.(3) They both used a common black-and-red ware (BRW) which Lal found was analogous to ceramics used by the megalithic people in India who also used analogous pottery signs identical to those found in the corpus of Indus Valley writing.

    Most people are aware that the Pharaonic civilization of ancient Egypt is one of the world’s oldest and longest-lasting. However, the nation of Ta-Seti predated Egyptian civilization. According to Our Weekly, in 1962, a research team headed by Keith C. Seele, director of the University of Chicago’s Oriental Institute Nubian Expedition, discovered a Pharaonic dynasty in Nubia that predated the first Pharaonic period in Kemet (Egypt). The area extended from northern Sudan to southern Kemet; in some literature it was referred to as ancient Ethiopia, or as in the Bible, Kush. Today, it is called Ta-Seti. On March 1, 1979, The New York Times carried a front page article by Boyce Rensberger, with the headline: “Nubian Monarchy Called Oldest.” In the article, Rensberger wrote: “Evidence of the oldest recognizable monarchy in human history, preceding the rise of the earliest Egyptian kings by several generations, has been discovered in artifacts from ancient Nubia.” He estimated that “The first kings of Ta-Seti may well have ruled about 5900 BC.” www.nytimes.com/1979/03/01/archives/ancient-nubian-artifacts-yield-evidence-of-earliest-monarchy-clues.html

    History of Early Ethiopia or Kush (13,000-7500 BC) The region known as Kush has been inhabited for several millennia. Royal Ontario Museum and University of Khartoum researchers found a "tool workshop" south of Dongola, Sudan with thousands of paleolithic axes on rows of stones, dating back 70,000 years. As early as 13,000 BC, ceremonial burial practices were taking place at Jebel Sahaba and Wadi Halfa in the northern part of modern-day Sudan (known to archaeologists as the "Qadan" period, 13,000-8,000 BC). At the Toshka site in modern-day "Lower Nubia," archaeologists have uncovered tombs where domesticated wild cattle were placed above human remains, indicative of the use of cattle in a ceremonial fashion. Circular tomb walls with above-ground mounds are further evidence of the beginnings of ceremonial burials. At other sites nearby, we can see the development of Ethiopian (better known as "Egyptian") civilization. At the Kadruka cemetery, spouted vessels were found, and the tombs at El Gaba were filled with jewelry, pottery, ostrich feathers, headrests, facial painting, etc.--all of which were present in "dynastic Egypt," and are still used today amongst different peoples of modern-day Ethiopia. The neolithic Sabu rock paintings even depict dynastic Egyptian-style boats. Just west of the city of Kerma lies the site of Busharia, where shards of pottery dating from 8000 to 9000 BC have been found. A nearby discovery at El-Barga shed light on foundations of round buildings, graves and pottery shards from 7,500 BC. Therefore Kushitic civilization began on the banks of the Nile over 15,000 years ago and was settled at least 55,000 years prior. Furthermore, based on the traditions of the first settlers and the artifacts found in this region, Kushitic civilization gave birth to that of so-called "Egypt"
