Relating to the ancient Sumerian civilization of Mesopotamia, known for inventing writing and cities, or the language they spoke.
From 'Sumer,' the ancient southern region of Mesopotamia (modern Iraq). The people called themselves 'Sag-giga' (black-headed ones), but Greek historians named them after their land.
The Sumerians didn't invent writing because they were inherently smarter—they invented it because they needed to track trade and taxes in their cities, proving that necessity really is the mother of invention.
