Yes.. 2200 BC would be at the end of Sumer. Do you know of a cross reference in time?

Somewhere after some 2300 bc, and before 2000, something catastrophic and seemingly nuclear/radioactive struck Sumer and ended it. The god Enki had warned some of them, and they were warned to flee northward from their ruined cities, taking no food or cooking pots with them for fear those had been touched by the ghost.

Very probably this event, to whatever extent natural or man-made, was the same event that devastated Biblical Sodom and Gomorrah and which seems to have virtually melted certain areas of the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt.

This may also have changed world climates and caused rainfall in Egypt to cease, made the Sahara a true desert, etc.

I believe that Sumer was around 4000 B.C.
