One of the world's first great civilizations began around 2500 BC in Mesopotamia, particularly in the region known as Sumer, located between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in present-day Iraq. This civilization is known for its advances in writing (cuneiform), architecture (ziggurats), and governance, establishing city-states like Ur and Uruk. The Sumerians contributed significantly to human progress, including the development of the wheel, mathematics, and early forms of literature. Their innovations laid the groundwork for subsequent civilizations in the region.

Egyptian civilization was among the earliest on Earth, beginning several thousand years BC. The Greek civilization in the Aegean occurred much later, following the Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations. Greek city-states appeared around 900 BC and persisted until their conquest by Macedon and finally Rome after 200 BC.
