History (Maximum Systema)

The History of the Human race has been one of constant rise and fall as Human civilizations have spread out across Terra and have battled each other for dominance.

Early Beginnings
Homo Sapiens is generally thought to have evolved in what is now modern day Ethiopia. From there, they spread far and wide, crossing land bridges and reaching every continent save Antarctica and Mu. The new species came into contact with another Hominid species, the Neanderthals, who eventually went extinct.

Sumeria
The first civilization to emerge was that of Sumeria, whose cities first emerged around 4000 B.C. These cities initially were priest-led theocracies. This gradually changed to hereditary monarchies who warred with each other to unify the region.

The first city to unify the others was Akkad, who established the first Empire in Human history. This empire lasted for several decades, before being succeeded by the cities of Ur, Susa, and then Babylon. After those cities, the nation of Assyria took over, and the era of city-state empires was replaced by nations.

Sumeria is notable for inventing many things, from writing to the wheel. These inventions were crucial for Sumeria's early dominance, and remain vital elements of modern societies.
