TheSumarians were a group of people native to the culture of ancient Ur situated in the southern part of present day Iraq. They are considered to be among the firstagriculturists using the water of the Euphrates to irrigate their fields and later on in the life of the city building canals for the same and also for trade, an activity in which they showed great ability, controlling trade routes further afield than Anatolia. The Sumarians are also noted along with their cousins the Babylonians for extensively using cuneiform as a means of communication most often it is though in financial activity. The religion practiced by the Sumarians was polytheistic in the extreme there was a pantheon of "state recognised deities" but each family, trade, city quarter and even individuals also had their own specific gods. In the centre of Ur was situated the great ziggurat dedicated to the moon god Nannar who was patron of the city. (Please see Abraham, Sir Leonard Wooley and The Encyclopedia Britannica)

Why was Mesopotamia a good place for civilization to develop?
I'd say the three main factors would have been 1)The Tigris and Euphrates rivers at the time rendered the region incredibly fertile, thus allowing large amounts of food to be grown and a larger population was supportable 2)At it's height Mesopotamian civilization was far more developed socially and technologically than most other cultures, their sophisiticated laws and advanced military organization and technology would have the lent the region a greater degree of stability than others at the time allowing them to further develop. 3)The surrounding desert would have detered all but the most determined nomadic raiders from attacking the cities in the fertile crescent, again lending greater stability to the region.Also, the Tigris and Euphrates River allow people to have a food surplus and not everyone had to be farmers so people can make there civilization more complex.
