Ancient Evidence: The Anunnaki

<a href="https://www.history.com/topics/ancient-middle-east/sumer" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Ancient Sumer</a> was the oldest civilization in Mesopotamia, now known as Iraq. Researchers believe this was among the first civilizations to appear on Earth. Ancient Mesopotamia had four main kingdoms: The oldest was Sumer, Akkad, Babylonia, and Assyria. This civilization is credited with being the closest to modern society. Over 6,000 years ago, this ancient society had agriculture, religion, cosmology, astronomy, language, science, medicine, math, royal hierarchy, schools, and a structured justice system. In centuries past, many excavation missions in the area have recovered thousands of Cuneiform tablets. These recoveries provided some of the first physical evidence of this ancient kingdom. The Sumerians invented the legendary Cuneiform writing system. The <a href="https://www.worldhistory.org/cuneiform/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Cuneiform writing system </a>is wedged-shaped writing with a stylus on clay and stone tablets. Archaeologists also discovered the ruins of the <a href="https://www.britannica.com/place/Ur" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">capital city of Ur</a>, the home of Abraham from the Bible.
