It was the time that civilisation begun , 7000 BCE, early hunters began to settle in the area known as 'Fertile Cresent' currently known as Southern Iraq to grow crops. 

After 2500 years later by between 4500 and 4000 BCE, a couple of societies begining to appear along this Fertile region in between Eupharates and Tigris rivers known as Mesopotamia (in Greeek for "between two rivers") and the kind of people lived there was known as Ubaidians. Ubaidians drained mashes, grew wheat and barly and irrigated their crops by digging ditches to and from the river. They kept farm animals, made pottery, did weaving, leather and metel work. They even involved in trading with other societies.

Meantime the world's first cities were emerged in the southern parts of Mesopotamia known as 'Sumer'. Sumarians built cities with villages, farm lands, high walls around the city, houses, buildings for industries, Temples with deities. Among all these they invented the world's first writing system. This is where this story begins.
