The history of the Sumerian civilization occurred at about 4000 B. C on the aquatic plain of the valley of the Tigris and the Euphrates Rivers. The social organization of the Sumerians, when compared to other existing societies, was intentionally built differently. The peculiar feature of the Sumerian communities is how the states were built and organized – constructed around a temple and governed by priests. This made majority of the community regarded as servant-slaves to the deity of the temple. People living in Sumer during that period felt unsafe and this gave the authority of the priest some sort of relevance. The temples and the priesthood offered succour and solace to the Sumerians during times of insecurity and troubles.
In the city of Sumer, besides the priests and locals, there also existed artisans who maximized their skills and knowledge by contributing to the civilization of Sumer. They spent most of their time building things such as chairs and desks, for the temple. They also produced items for the soldiers and warriors who defended the community. While these men fought to protect the temple, others were praying and interceding to the gods of the temple to prevent evil from coming upon the community.
As civilization grew for the Sumerians, they influenced the development of other communities, especially those in the northern region of Babylon. The Sumerians also developed the ancient city of Egypt. There are speculations that the Sumerians also brought civilization to the Indus River Valley. Numerous scholars have written quality recordings of the civilization of the Sumerians. Samuel Noah Kramer, a reputable scholar, made remarkable contributions to document the events of the civilization of the Sumerians. It was through these writings that referred to Sumer that led to the popularity of the Sumerian civilization. These writings were obtained by researches and inquiries of the ruins of Babylon and neighboring cities.
