Around 3500 B.C.E, there was a civilization located in southern Mesopotamia known as Sumer. By settling in the Fertile Crescent, the city-states of Sumer advanced over time into one of the first great civilizations. Historians question whether Sumer was a civilization but I believe Sumer was a civilization because it created a stable food supply, formed a system of government, and created a social structure.
