Many of the Sumerians live here in Mesopotamia. There are many works of literature. The Epic of Gilgamesh is actually the first piece of literature in the world! An epic is a long poem that tells a story about heroes! Gilgamesh is an amazing epic, by the way. Everyone here in Sumer LOVES Gilgamesh. I can’t wait to see Gilgamesh at the Mesopotamia Festival!
