Where were the sumarians?
Sumerians refer to the people of the earliest historically documented civilization that existed for over three thousand years from sixth millennium B.C. to second millennium B.C. in Mesopotamia, around what is the South Iraq today.Often referred to as the 'cradle of civilization', the Sumerians have left a legacy of historical evidence about their existence as well as about other civilizations that existed in their time including those of Egypt and India, which suggest that they were advanced enough to have trade across different continents, even in those times. Sufficient historical evidence is also available about their language, literature, religion and cultureThe Sumerian civilization seems to have taken roots in sixth millennium B.C. and they mastered the art of agriculture which they began practicing the year round from around 5300 B.C. They are also credited with inventing the wheel, which probably revolutionized their existence and helped them built the first cities in the world. Their urban density was sufficient to dictate division of labor and they also developed their own Sumerian language which is considered a language isolate as it does not belong to any particular linguistic family. It is an agglutinative language, where different units of meaning are added to create words rather than sentences.Their history is divided in to Upbraid period in the Neolithic to Chalcolithic age (from 5300 to 4100 B.C.), Uruk period which lasted up to the early Bronze age (from 4100 to 2900 B.C.), early Dynastic period (2900 -2334 B.C.), and the age Akkadin, Gutian and Ur III dynasties, which lasted up to 1940 B.C., when the Sumerian civilization was finally replaced by the Babylonian rule.The most impressive and well known part of Sumerian culture is their pottery. The primitive pictograms suggest that there were all types of pottery made since early times, including dishes, vase, bowels and jars of all sizes. There are many metal artifacts found with written inscriptions in Sumerian language, as are seals of Indus valley civilization of India found there, suggesting extensive trade links across the world. Sumerians followed a lunar calendar, and a religion of gods worshipped as humans. The early region is dominated by existence of spirits while the late periods are devoted to human gods. Every city was built as a temple centered inhabitation, where the king-priest dominated the power. Every city had a different god.'An' was the Sumerian god of heaven or sky, while 'Enki' was the earth god. Other major deities included 'Enlil', the god of the ghost-land, 'Inanna' was Venus, 'Utu' the Sun god and 'Nanna' the Moon god. In addition there were hundreds of minor deities. Their agriculture was highly developed, with crops including wheat, barley, lentils, date, onions, garlic, lettuce and mustard. The agriculture thrived on irrigation systems that they developed, and their final downfall was brought about by the increasing salinity of soil resulting from poorly drained land.Sumerians have left numerous legacies for mankind including instruments of agriculture, pottery and war trade. They invented many new techniques and skills in different wakes of life in their time including mathematics, boat and ship making, armory and communication.

Who started the Aryan race?
The notion of an "Aryan Race" has been around for a long time. As for "why" they came about, I'm not really sure. Wikipedia says: -- Aryan is an English word derived from the Sanskrit "Ārya" meaning "noble" or "honorable". The Avestan cognate is "Airya" and the Old Persian equivalent is "Ariya". It is widely held to have been used as an ethnic self-designation of the Proto-Indo-Iranians Since in the 19th century, the Indo-Iranians were the most ancient known speakers of Indo-European languages, the word Aryan was adopted to refer not only to the Indo-Iranian people, but also to Indo-European speakers as a whole. In Europe, the concept of an Aryan race became influential in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as linguists and ethnologists argued that speakers of these Indo-European languages constitute a distinctive race, descended from an ancient people, who were referred to as the "primitive Aryans", but are now known as Proto-Indo-Europeans. In linguistics, Aryan is most often used in the context of the sub-branch of Indo-Iranian languages referred to as Indo-Aryan languages. --
