This episode is the second of a few that will explore the history of Sumer. The episode investigates the first people that would settle in the area that would later become known as Sumer. First, I touch on the modern archaeologist that discovered the once thought mythical city of Uruk. Next, I discuss the Ubaid period and the people who lived there at the time. Finally, the Uruk period is examined.  Also, I give a review of the Sumerian King list. The discussion of the Sumerians will continue next week.

After listening, let me know what you think.
