I prefer to post a QRD of the entire Sumer:
>Religion came with the invention of writing in 3500 BC. The first Mesopotamians ("Land Between Rivers" in Ancient Greek, referring largely to modern Iraq) were the Sumerians, originating during the Stone Age in what is now Dhi Qar Governorate, Iraq, during the Ubaid Period (6500 - 3800 BC). During the Uruk Period (3800 - 3100 BC), the Sumerians moved south to the Muthanna Governorate, making them the world's oldest literate civilization when the Bronze Age began around 3150 BC
>The area became known as "Sumer". It should be noted that "Sumer" is a foreign name, given to the Sumerian language by the later Akkadians; the precise meaning of the term "Sumeru" (later shortened to "Sumer") is unknown. The Sumerians themselves referred to their homeland as "Kengir", "The Country of the Noble Lords", and referred to themselves as the "Saggig", the "Black-Headed Ones". The Akkadians called them the same name, but in their own language - the "Salmat-Qaqqadi", the "Black-Headed People". In Sumerian writing, the cuneiform "Ki" would often be placed at the end of a place's name in order to identify it as such; in modern terms, the turkey bird would be written as "turkey", but the country Turkey would be written as "Turkey-Ki". However, both would simply be referred to in speech as "turkey"
>The Akkadians rose to prominence in the 29th century BC. The city-state of Akkad was likely located north of Sumer, in the modern Baghdad Governorate. Unlike Sumer, "Akkad" is the actual name of the city; however, the precise origin is also unknown
