The first floodplain civilization is generally considered to be the Sumerians, who emerged in Mesopotamia around 3500 BCE. They developed in the fertile land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, which provided rich soil for agriculture due to seasonal flooding. This environment allowed for the growth of cities like Uruk and Ur, leading to advancements in writing, governance, and trade. Sumerians are often credited with creating one of the earliest known forms of writing, cuneiform, marking a significant milestone in human history.
