Sumer (Wikipedia) Sumer (/ˈsuːmər/) is the earliest known civilization in the historical region of southern Mesopotamia (now south-central Iraq), emerging during the Chalcolithic and early Bronze Ages between the sixth and fifth millennium BC. Like nearby Elam, it is one of the cradles of civilization, along with Egypt, the Indus Valley, China, Caral-Supe, and Mesoamerica. Living along the valleys of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, Sumerian farmers grew an abundance of grain and other crops, a surplus which enabled them to form urban settlements. The world’s earliest known texts come from the Sumerian cities of Uruk and Jemdet Nasr, and date to between c. 3350 – c. 2500 BC, following a period of proto-writing c. 4000 – c. 2500 BC.

Phils Trail - Thrush Gap Loop (wta.org) Phil’s Creek Trail (also known as Phil’s Trail) and the Thrush Gap Loop offer perhaps the purest Squak Mountain experience: a mountain rainforest where flora and fauna thrive to produce an undisturbed, numinous experience regardless of season.
