Actually, there were civilizations before the Sumerians that invented Math. Babylonians had worked on it. There also civilizations before them. But we dont know that because HISTORY IS WRITTEN BY WINNERS. So if that civilization was conquered or destroyed then the winner wouldnt write about them because then they would glorify them more than themselves.
