The Sumerian Civilization
The Land of the Lords
          Brightness
Sumer meaning “land of the
lords brightness”, was a
civilization and historical
region in southern
Mesopotamia.
It is the earliest known
civilization in the world and
is known as the Cradle of
Civilization.
The Sumerian Civilization
spanned over 3000 years
(starting in the mid
millennium BC).
Sumerian Cities
There were at least 12
cities such as: Ur, Uruk,
Kish, Lagash.
These city states were
centered around a temple
for the city’s gods.
These cities were
surrounded by agriculture.
One of the reasons that the
Sumerian civilization was
so advanced is because it
had it had extensive trading
networks on land and sea.
Religion
      The Sumerians
      were extremely
      religious, all events
      were determined by
      gods.
      The Monarch was
      an agent to god.
      There were
      religious duties
      subject to accept
      king’s rule.
Class Systems
        The Commoners in
        Sumerian were illiterate.
        The Sumerians created a
        successful currency
        system.
        Kings were once elected,
        but then their system
        became hereditary.
        The Sumerians were
        paternalistic, men
        dominate, while women
        in their culture were low.
Art
They made their works mostly out of clay which was abundant
in this region.
The Sumerian used sculpture for religious purposes.
Sumerian religious sculpture included many depictions of
naked men in silent prayer.
In Sumerian culture, male gods were of higher worship than
female gods, although mortal men and women were depicted
as equals.
Marble and Diorite was also used to make sculpture.
The Sumerians hammered Gold which was used on sculpture,
of only the gods and goddesses.
Gold was also found in the tombs of Kings.
Sumerfinal
Architecture
Sumerians built building using a platform
structure, which started at ground level.
These temples were made from mud and
brick.
When finished these temples were square
shaped.
There would be three platforms, one on top
of the other.
The uppermost platform was for the gods.
The middle platform was used for religious
purpose.
Sumerfinal
Sumerian Government
Sumerian Government was a
monarchy.
It was leveled by the priest-king who
had total control over the military,
society and state.

by the priest.
