| book description |

The book systematically presents the historical trajectory of Sumerian civilization from the rise of city-states to its demise, with a focus on the political system and social reforms of historical sites such as Eridu and Uruk. Through the three landmark achievements of cuneiform script, roller printing, and tower temples, it analyzes the civilization's pioneering contributions in terms of writing system, legal system, and architectural technology. It is important to note that the manuscript includes translations of original documents such as the Lugalbanda while combines chronology and archaeological images to restore the full picture of Mesopotamian civilization. This book also discusses the early relationship between the origin of words and economic activities. It integrates historical and archaeological perspectives, presenting the global influence accelerated with advances in Sumerian civilization from the end of the 4000s till 1800s.
