Talk:Sumer

Biblical evidence?
If this is to be a wiki based on the Bible, information drawn from secular archeology needs to be kept to a minimum.

As far as I know, Sumer, or biblical Shinar, did not encompass any part of Canaan. Canaan and Egypt as well as what became Greece and Turkey, were settled after Babel was dispersed.

Shinar/Sumer was 'between the rivers' (Mesopotamia) across a desert from Canaan and Egypt. Ur was settled, probably by Shem's son, after the dispersion. Abram's father brought the family up the Euphrates to Heron. From there Abram went DOWN into Canaan.

I will return and at least put Biblical references in this article.
