Was the Sumerian civilization the first civilization to emerge in human society?

The Sumerian civilization in the two river basins, which has been recorded for more than 3,000 years, can be roughly divided into two stages based on language

First, the period from Uruk around 3200 BC to the establishment of the ancient Babylonian Empire can be called the "Sumerian civilization";

Second, the period from the establishment of the ancient Babylonian Empire to the fall of the Persian Empire can be called the "Babylonian-Assyrian civilization."

As we all know, primitive humans lived by gathering, and they could only get food from nature to sustain their own survival. Due to the limited availability of food and the inadequacy of the capacity of small groups of human beings, the number of human beings is very limited and the population density is extremely low. Later, humans learned to tame animals and cultivate plants in the direction that humans wanted, successfully turning them into animals and plants that obeyed human discipline.

However, when humans are in a gathering society, they do not dare to have more children, for fear that the extra children will affect the entire race. Sometimes, in order to control the population, the adults of the community will actively kill or abandon the weak children. Now, with farmland, they can put aside the concerns of a large population and reproduce their offspring.

In this way, the food supply has increased, the population density has increased, and the living standards of the entire ethnic group have also been significantly improved. Moreover, some members of the ethnic group can also leave the agricultural life altogether and engage in other handicrafts to enrich the daily necessities of the interior. This is the birth of civilization, and people within the whole society are engaged in different industries, and the overall level of development is much higher than that of other ethnic groups, and it is bound to assimilate or eliminate other ethnic groups.

Now, we need to broaden our horizons to include the area around the two river basins. As we all know, the lower reaches of the two river basins are located at the intersection of Eurasia and Africa, which was the best channel for the exchange of information between the three continents at that time. The Sumerian civilization had the geographical advantage of being "close to the water", and they were the first to develop advanced knowledge and technology, which is unmatched by other regions.

From this perspective, it is understandable that the Fertile Crescent gave birth to the earliest civilizations.

If, compared to its competitors, the Fertile Crescent also has unique natural conditions. Now, let's compare it to the region of the lower Nile near it.

Therefore, the well-known ancient Egyptian civilization is not the earliest civilization, it is only a derivative civilization of the Sumerian civilization. It can be seen that the Sumerian civilization is the earliest civilization in our cognition, and it is also the cradle of the birth of human civilization. The two river basins are the origin of civilization and the birthplace of the two major religions that later influenced the world, and it can be said that all this is related to its superior conditions.

Yes, as one of the four ancient civilizations and the earliest country, the Sumerian civilization created the world's most advanced level of scientific and technological production at that time, which was a milestone in the history of human development and the earliest emergence of human society.

The Sumerian civilization is indeed the earliest civilization in human society, and this civilization has been recognized by the whole world.

Yes, the Sumerian civilization predates the ancient Egyptian civilization and is located in the valley of the two rivers.

The period from 4500 BC to 2000 BC is the earliest time point of human civilization known to mankind. The birth of the Sumerian civilization was a bit like the Airborne Forces, which appeared without warning.

Why? Modern people excavated Sumerian ruins from the Lianghe River valley only to find that they not only mastered cuneiform writing (more than 1,000 years earlier than the Chinese oracle bone inscriptions, note that they were written rather than pictographs), but also their clay tablets were engraved with UFOs, pineal glands, and "sports bracelets".

Most notable are the Sumerian royal watches that have been excavated, which record the rulers of the dynasties before and after the Flood, who ruled for hundreds of thousands to centuries. Yes, that is, it may be that non-humans have lived on earth, that is, gods. It is said that they are the Anunnaki people of the planet Nibiru who came to Earth in search of ** to solve the problem that their planet's atmosphere cannot block ultraviolet rays.

In addition to these, the development of Sumerian civilization can be seen as follows.

First of all, their astrology is the same as modern discoveries, which means that they have long mastered astronomical knowledge.

Secondly, the Sumerians used a lunar calendar, which used the waxing and waning of the moon as the standard for timekeeping, with 12 months in a year, a week of 7 days, and a leap month. The Sumerians invented the division of the 12 unit with the 60 unit measure.

In addition, some excavated frescoes and stone slabs also record that their buildings were made of bricks, and some large buildings appeared, the city was well established, and the army was equipped with chariots, bronze helmets, spears, bows and arrows, etc., Sumerian laws were perfect, and the Babylonian Code of Hammurabi was based on the Sumerian Code.

At present, the spires are most sought-after by the ancient Sumerian clay tablets. Clay tablets, whether privately or preserved, are the most valuable cultural relics.

Sitchin is the author of the Chronicles of the Earth, one of only about 200 people in the world who can read cuneiform. He is a well-known writer and researcher who compiled the prehistory of the earth and the history of mankind based on the text and speculation of the extant clay tablets. If you want to know more, you can read Xiqin.

Sumerian civilization is a real civilization, is an important part of the civilization of the two river basins in 3200 BC, although the Sumerian civilization is not as brilliant as the ancient Chinese civilization, but the Sumerian civilization has a profound impact on the ancient society and the modern society, are the brilliant treasures of human civilization.

Sumerian civilization is the civilization used by the people of the Sumerian region, which has a history of more than 5,000 years, the Sumerian civilization and the ancient Babylonian civilization jointly built the civilization of the two river basins, although the Sumerian civilization is not specifically recorded in the ancient books, but the Sumerian civilization has more outstanding contributions than the ancient Babylonian civilization to a certain extent.

According to archaeological records, the Sumerian region at that time had grown wheat, barley, cucumbers and other crops, so the Sumerian civilization has reached the level of ancient Chinese feudal civilization. The life of self-sufficiency, male roots and female weavers was common in Sumer. The people of Sumer have long been able to use canal irrigation and animal-assisted farming, which greatly slows down manual labor and has the progressive nature of the new era.

Compared with the ancient Babylonian civilization, the Sumerian civilization was more progressive, and the Sumerian civilization took the lead in quoting legal provisions to restrain the behavior of the local people through the law, which also reflected the large number of people in the Sumerian region, and the management norms were clear.

At the same time, Sumerian civilization in science and technology, there is also a huge development, Sumerian people have a high talent for mathematics, many modern mathematical achievements, are inseparable from the Sumerian civilization to meet the contribution of God, Sumerian civilization also took the lead in opening astronomical research, and medical research, contemporary people in the Sumerian civilization under the promotion of life and prosperity, people live and work in peace and contentment.

1. Sumerian civilization refers to the civilization in the Sumerian region with Sumerian literature as the main symbol, the ancient place name Sumer, located in the lower reaches of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers in present-day southeast Iraq. Sumer is also the earliest center of civilization that is now unanimously recognized. (It was once generally agreed that the cradle of civilization was the Egyptian civilization in the Nile Valley.)

In the Old Testament Sacred Book, Sumer is referred to as the "kingdom of Shina."

2. The wisdom of Sumerian civilization is not exactly equal to the civilization created by the Sumerians. The Sumerian civilization in the two river basins, which has been recorded for more than 3,000 years, can be roughly divided into two stages based on language. One is the period from Uruk, c. 3200 BC, to the founding of the ancient Babylonian Empire (18th century BCE) can be called the "Sumerian civilization."

The second is the period from the founding of the ancient Babylonian Empire to the fall of the Persian Empire (4th century BCE) which can be called the "Babylonian-Assyrian civilization."
