Explore the Captivating History of the Sumerians What humans call "civilization" didn't always exist. We didn't always live in big cities, have roads to get places easier, or grow food on farms. For a long time, humans were hunter-gatherers. Hunter-gatherers wandered from place to place looking for food. They didn't build homes or stay in one place. The Sumerians, as far as we know, were the first people to start a civilization. These stories that describe how the Sumerians thought the world worked are now what we call myths. Even though myths aren't true, they can tell us about what the world was like in ancient civilizations Sumerians carved words on stone tablets, and some of those tablets are still around today. A few of these carvings are stories that tell us what the Sumerians believed in. They lived in a world where nature was everywhere, and they were at the mercy of it. Let Dinobibi guide you through a discovery of this fascinating culture and learn about early writing, the first civilization, and Sumerian's important gods and goddesses.
