Archaeology in Sumer.
Ancient Sumer is all we've talked about. I'm going to tell you about some things in present day. Okay, fine - 2012. We . Archaeology in Sumer was very interesting. The archaeologists that dig at the digging sites in present-day Sumer found many, many things. Some examples are swords, pottery shards, pieces of wood, etc. But that was normal for the archaeologists. They wished for something different. They wished for something BIG. Then, one day, they got that wish. Through their eyes, they could only see those pottery shards and pieces of wood. But a satellite imagery proved that there was one very large structure under the ground. The digging site in which the tall structure was found was called Tell Khaiber. After the under go of a lot of research, the archaeologists found out that the structure was a very important part of an ancient sumerian's life. It was a temple. So far the archaeologists have uncovered one wall of the temple. They are working on the other walls. They need to uncover some towers as well. This was certainly an exciting find! The archaeologists are working hard and we hope to be able to see the whole temple at some time.
