Interesting. I would not think Sumerians are from Scandanavia. I have heard they might be from Indonesia. I have noticed ziggarat designs are same throughout the world. I have read that Dravidians have a legend that they are from Sundaland or Indonesia. I wonder if the Marsh Arabs or M'adans of Iraq are relics from Sumeria. Theire culture reminds me of Sumerians/Polynesian.

During the Ice Age (which ended a mere 14,000 or so years ago in the Old World, and just over 10,000 or so years in the New World) Southern India was very popular with people.

As the ice withdraw and conditions improved in the higher latitudes, people followed the game out of India.

For unknowable reasons, the people who are now the Sa'ami, and who may have been in Scandinavia for the last 35,000 years, ended up speaking languages that have as their closest relative the long dead Sumerian language.

I suspect it has a bit to do with Soma.

I think Sumerian civilization is a tad older than the towers in South India.

Doesn't mean they weren't built by the same people, but the point about Sumer is that it was FIRST ~
