Sumer

Sumer

Sumer (/ˈsuːmər/)is the earliest known civilization in the historical region of southern Mesopotamia, modern-day southern Iraq, during the Chalcolithic and Early Bronze ages, and one of the first civilizations in the world along with Ancient Egypt and the Indus Valley. Living along the valleys of the Tigris and Euphrates, Sumerian farmers were able to grow an abundance of grain and other crops, the surplus of which enabled them to settle in one place. Prehistoric proto-writing dates back before 3000 BC. The earliest texts come from the cities of Uruk and Jemdet Nasr and date to between roughly c. 3500 and c. 3000 BC.

It is generally accepted that Eduk or associated beings of that entity maintained contact with the Sumer, off and on and provided subtle aid and protection.

It is also believed that the Guardian and other entities interfered and eventually severed further contact
