Cool finding! I always think there is a lost civilization that predates Sumeria, which occurred at least 10,000 years ago. I think this lost civilization likely stretched from India to Indonesia. I think some of them went to the Middle East. I believe the inhabitants are the present day Ainu and Polynesian people.

I believe the inhabitants are the present day Ainu and Polynesian people.I agree and disagree. I'd agree that there were civilizations which predate Sumeria, but I very much doubt that there was just one coherent civilization stretching across the Earth.
