Sumerians were the people who dominated the southern mesopotamia through the end of the third millennium B.C. They were responsible for creating many aspects of Mesopotamian culture including irrigation technology.
Their most famous king was Sargon the Great.
The Sumerians had a written language consisting of cuneiform on clay tablets, and their most lasting architecture were the daunting ziggurats. The Tower of Babel is believed to have been of a ziggurat configuration.
