Is that lens flare brighter than normal lens flares to anyone else? I actually winced a little.

>>1738326
Sumeria was first right? Did Babylonia have no connection to it? If so, how did that happen?

>>1738338
Sumer came first (it was the first urban empire) and it controlled Babylon for a period of time. Babylon eventually gained power in the region and became an even larger empire.

>>1738324
Sumeria developed writing, Babylonia developed the first codified law I believe and Mesopotamia isn't a country it's a region along the Tigris river and the Euphrates river

FYI this was a quick explanation, rather than going into more facts

At this point is /his/ just a collection of meme jargon from other boards?

Sumer was not an "empire." It was just a region with a common culture, consisting of several city states. Babylon was also a city state, not located in Sumer. Both were in the larger region called Mesopotamia.
