What were the Sumerians?

[Malkom2]

Just a random question that popped into my head, never really thought about it. Would the ancient Sumerians be considered white, or black?

They were white. Same with the Babylonians, Assyrians, Phoenicians, Egyptians, Akkadians (might have spelled this one wrong), the entire middle eastern and northern African area was all white.

There were also Black societies who were similarly highly advanced, like the Dagons, but they were further south.

That's good to know. I feel a very strong bond with ancient Sumeria, as well a strong attraction to the Sumerian sigils. Thank you.

The Sumerians were of Iranian origin.

The area that is now Khuzestin was settled about 6000 BC by a people with affinities to the Sumerians, who came from the Zagros Mountains region.

People who consider themselves heirs of the Sumerian culture are Yazidi. They profess a religion that existed in the ancient Mesopotamia. In addition, they speak Kurmanji which belongs to the group of Indo-European languages.
