History begins at Sumer by Samuel Noah Kramer

History begins at Sumer by Samuel Noah Kramer is an introduction to the civilisation of ancient Sumer, in southern Mesopotamia, and to the many firsts credited to it.

The book presents Sumerian life in broad outline: its cities, its writing, its laws, its schools, its literature and its ideas about society and the world. It argues that much of what later civilisations took for granted — from organised government to written records — first took shape in Sumer, making this early culture a natural starting point for the story of history itself.

What readers will explore:

• Sumerian cities, writing and government
• Law, education and literature in early Mesopotamia
• Everyday life and ideas in the world's first civilisation
• Why Sumer matters for the history that followed

Who this book is for: Readers interested in ancient history, archaeology, and the origins of civilisation.
