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.

苏美尔（阿卡德語：Šumeru；蘇美語：𒆠𒂗𒂠，ki-en-ĝir15）为目前发现于美索不达米亚文明中最早的文明体系，同时也是全世界最早产生的文明之一。苏美尔文明主要位于美索不达米亚的南部，通过放射性碳十四的断代测试，表明苏美尔文明的开端可以追溯至公元前4500年。蘇美王朝在约公元前2004年结束，之後逐漸融入亚摩利人城邦，直至公元前18世紀被興起的巴比伦文明取代。苏美尔人被认为发明了世界上最早的文字，他们在粘土片上书写自己的文字。
