Sumerians were the people of an ancient Earth civilization located in Mesopotamia.

History

Circa 4,500 BC, in the Neolithic Age, Sumerians invented written language, agriculture, and beer. (ST - Destiny novel: Lost Souls)

In 3,000 BC, Sumerians created the first known model of the Sol system. They believed that the stars floated under a tin roof that encircled a large sea, with a flat Earth at its center. (Star Trek Annual 1977 article: The Universe As You Won't See It!)

The goddess Ninhursag was worshipped by the Sumerians. (VOY - Distant Shores short story: "Brief Candle")

In 2273, Elsa and Paul Hoff discovered Rosetta Stone-like inscriptions within an underground structure on the planet Abaris. The writing was in three languages: Abaris hieroglyphs, an unknown language, and the language of the Sumerians. (TOS comic: "Aberration on Abaris")
