The Sumerians were the first to invent over 100 of the first's for a modern culture. All academic references to the origins of writing, math, science, medicine, astronomy, lead to the Sumerian Culture and their amazing artifacts. We still use their math, medicine, science, time, music, astronomy, and many other fields, even to this day.

Sumerian Artifacts
I lived in Libya in my younger years.
My mother went out to some digs with the Swiss Ambassador's wife, who told her to bring a large purse. That is how I happen to have a mosaic ripped from the floor of some Roman housewife, circa Roman occupation in the first centuries of this era.
The Archeologist working there at the time told my Mom that, when he excitedly brought artifacts from this era to the Libyan Ministry of Whatever, they would smash them against the wall, shouting "It's not Arab!"
I did manage to be one of the few people to see an early Christian Church uncovered at that time. We had to climb down ladders to get to it. Of course, we females in our dresses (can't wear pants in a Muslim country) went down first to avoid them peeping up our skirts.
Yes, if it's not Arab (and by extension, Muslim), they adopt a posture that it's blasphemous.
