シュメール

メソポタミア南部の地域名

AI overview

Sumer was the earliest known civilization, located in southern Mesopotamia (modern-day south-central Iraq), that emerged between the 5th and 4th millennium BC in the valleys of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. It matters because it stands as one of humanity's original cradles of civilization, where agricultural surplus from grain farming enabled the development of the world's first urban settlements.

シュメール（Sumer、シュメール語: 𒆠𒂗𒂠 Ki-en-ĝir15, アラビア語: سومر‎、sūmir, スーミルもしくは sūmar, スーマル。イラク口語発音だとソーマルなどになることもある。）は、古代文明、その文明を築いた人々、またはその文明が栄えたイラク南部地方を指す歴史地理的な名称である。現代のイラク南部、ユーフラテス川とティグリス川に挟まれた地域は現在、メソポタミアと呼ばれる。このメソポタミアの南部（現代のバグダードからペルシア湾に至る地域）はバビロニアと呼ばれ、さらにバビロニアのうち古代都市ニップル近辺よりも北側をアッカド、南側をシュメール（シュメル）と呼ぶ。
