The Rise and Fall of Sumeria: Civilization’s Greatest Mystery

The Rise and Fall of Sumeria: Civilization’s Greatest Mystery

Sumeria is where history starts—but it’s also where some of the biggest mysteries begin. The world’s first civilization gave us writing, cities, and law codes that still shape our lives today. But how did they rise so quickly? What secrets are buried in thousands of ancient clay tablets? And why did such a groundbreaking society disappear, leaving behind puzzles that still baffle archaeologists?

In this episode, we dive into the origins of Sumeria, the stories etched in cuneiform clay, and the gods who acted more like reality TV stars than divine beings. We unpack what we know, what we don’t, and why this ancient culture continues to fascinate—and frustrate—modern minds. It’s history, mystery, and a reminder that some questions from the past are still waiting for answers.
