Question

Is Sumer the first civilization

Answer 1

Yes, Sumer is considered the first known civilization in human history. It emerged around 4000 BCE in Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq) in the region known as Sumer. The Sumerians developed sophisticated systems of writing (such as cuneiform), agriculture, trade, and urbanization. They also established the world's first known city-states, with centralized authority and organized governance. The Sumerian civilization laid the foundation for later civilizations in the region, such as Assyria and Babylonia.
