Golden Age of Sumer

The Golden Age of Sumer refers to a period around 3000 to 2000 BCE when Sumerian civilization flourished in ancient Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq). During this time, Sumerians made significant advancements in writing, mathematics, and irrigation, leading to increased agricultural productivity and urbanization. They developed cuneiform writing, built impressive city-states like Ur and Uruk, and created complex social, religious, and political structures. This era laid the foundations for future civilizations and contributed greatly to human history, influencing culture, law, and governance. The Sumerians are often credited as one of the world's earliest advanced societies.
