Vandalizing important information about the origin of the Sumerians

HistoryOfIran is going through all my edits and deleting any edit i make or any source i add. I have added a source about the beginning of Sumer with two academic sources and it got deleted by saying it is not relevant! Please stop doing that or i will report you again. I know this place is your life but you don’t have an authority over putting down other cultures and civilizations that doesn’t fit your narrative.

"Looking for Dilmun"

"Somewhere round about 5000 B.C. the first agricultural settlers moved into the waste of swamps along the lower valley of the Tigris and Euphrates, the region which was to be Sumer and later Babylonia. And these first Stone-Age settlers made pottery of a greenish-yellow clay decorated with geometric designs in dark-brown paint. Where they came from no one knows, perhaps from the south, perhaps from the east." -- Looking for Dilmun, Geoffrey Bibby, page 376.--Kansas Bear (talk) 21:17, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
