Description
Long before Rome, before Greece, before even the pyramids—there were the Sumerians.
They gave us the first written language, the 60-minute hour, city planning, legal codes, and… beer. But beyond the clay tablets and ziggurats lies something deeper: a blueprint for thriving communities, commerce, and innovation that still echoes today.
In this lunchtime dive into the world’s first civilization, we’ll uncover:
How the Sumerians managed trade, taxes, and tech—without TikTok
What their myths, laws, and records reveal about human behavior and leadership
Why they believed success wasn’t luck—it was alignment with natural laws
What modern leaders, entrepreneurs, and communities can actually learn from 4,000-year-old wisdom
This isn’t just ancient history. It’s a reminder that progress isn’t new—and that sometimes, the future starts by looking back.
Join us for a mind-expanding, eye-opening discussion that connects the cradle of civilization to the boardrooms of today.
