Could I have more details about the paragraph????
Classical in my words would be something that is favored now that was favored in the past. favored meaning worshiped, liked, acknowledged, respected, so on and so forth. Greece is in my book a prime example for classic because for one, im pagan Hellenic and for two it was one of the "CLASSICAL" and first well known (now and then) civilizations and other civilizations based there beliefs off of the Greek civilization like the Romans when they overtook the Greek and they based there religion off of there gods lie Poseidon being Neptune and Zeus becoming Jupiter so on and so forth.
Answer:
6000 years ago
We believe Sumerian civilization first took form in southern Mesopotamia around 4000 BCE—or 6000 years ago—which would make it the first urban civilization in the region. Mesopotamians are noted for developing one of the first written scripts around 3000 BCE: wedge-shaped marks pressed into clay tablets.
They lost their land because they could not get enough money from the farming to pay their mortgages.
