The document summarizes the Sumerian civilization that arose around 3000 BC in Mesopotamia. Some key points:
1) The Sumerians lived in independent city-states like Uruk and Ur and were one of the earliest civilizations, developing technologies like writing, the wheel, and agriculture.
2) They practiced polytheistic religion and believed gods controlled aspects of daily life. Priests had high status and interpreted the gods' will.
3) Sargon conquered the Sumerian city-states and created the first empire by raising a standing army, with his capital at Akkad. However, the empire fragmented after his death.
Sumer
The Sumerians established advanced city-states in Mesopotamia around 3000 BC, where rulers claimed divine approval and religion played a major role. Sargon later conquered the region to form the first empire, though it did not last after his death as rival city-states regained power. The Sumerians developed new technologies, built walled cities like Ur for protection, and practiced polytheism with gods influencing all aspects of life.

3.1 The Indo Europeans
Indo-Europeans migrated throughout Europe, India, and Southwest Asia between 1700-1200 BCE. As nomadic pastoral people from the steppes north of the Caucasus mountains, they introduced horses, chariots, and iron technology to the peoples they encountered. Their languages gave rise to language families across the regions like English, Spanish, Persian, and Hindi. Groups like the Hittites established kingdoms in Anatolia and Southwest Asia, while Aryan peoples entered India and developed one of the earliest caste systems as they established kingdoms across the subcontinent.
Nubian culture and anthropology
Nubia is the land between Egypt and Sudan, where the Nubian lived for centuries, but which dissapeared under the water of Lake Nasser after finishing the Aswan Dam in 1964. Wat happened to the Nubians? Did their unique community life survive? This slideshow focusses on the centuries-old traditions, the meaning of Nile water as essential part of daily life and about what remained nowadays from the Nubian culture.
Yellow river valley
The early Chinese civilization flourished along the Yellow River valley around 5000 years ago. Natural barriers isolated China, fostering a strong sense of national identity. The first dynasty was the Xia, established by Yu who implemented flood control projects. The subsequent Shang dynasty gained control of the region through organized bureaucracy and military might. They developed advanced agriculture, handicrafts like silk, and the first form of writing in China. Despite social stratification, family and respect for elders were core values. The Shang fell when nomadic groups like the Zhou allied and overthrew the corrupt rulers.
Civilizations
The document provides information on several ancient civilizations including the Indus Valley, Sumerian, Egyptian, Greek and Chinese civilizations. It discusses aspects of these civilizations such as town planning in the Indus Valley, communication methods used by Sumerians, mummy making and pyramid building in Egypt, architecture and wars in Greece, and technology, ornaments and art forms that developed in China. The document serves to introduce various facets of these influential early civilizations.

African society & culture
Ancient African societies developed towns that served as centers of government, trade, and crafts. Towns were ruled by kings who held audiences and maintained order in exchange for taxes and trade. Extended families and lineage groups provided the basic social structure, and while women held important economic roles, societies were usually patriarchal. Religions varied but often involved belief in supreme beings, ancestors, and an afterlife. Slavery, trade, and the spread of Islam impacted African cultures over this period.

From hunter foragers to settled societies
Modern humans originated in East Africa between 200,000 and 100,000 years ago and gradually migrated across the globe as hunter-gatherers. During the Paleolithic period from 2.5 million to around 10,000 years ago, humans lived as hunter-gatherers using tools made of stone, bone, and wood. Around 8,000 BCE, as the last ice age ended, humans began the Neolithic Revolution by developing agriculture and domesticating animals, leading to population growth, the rise of cities and civilizations, and more complex social structures.

Camera angles
High camera angles make objects seem smaller and less significant by swallowing them up in their wider setting. Low camera angles give a sense of confusion and powerlessness to viewers by limiting background details and psychologically dominating viewers with heightened objects that can inspire fear. Dutch angles are deliberately slanted camera angles that can portray unease, disorientation, and other dramatic effects.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

- 2. BACKGROUND • Civilizations rose around rivers, and they became more organized and advanced. • Religion became a main characteristic. • Rulers claimed to rule with the approval of the gods. • Humanity began to develop more advanced technologies
- 3. AN ADVANCED SOCIETY • No one knows where the Sumerians came from, but they moved into Mesopotamia around 3000 BC. • City States • Most people lived in rural (countryside) areas but gathered in urban (cities) areas. • These cities grew big enough to house as many as 100,000 by the year 2000 BC. • These “units” were called CITY- STATES. • Rivalries between the many city-states led to the build up of armies and fortifications. • The two most important were Uruk and Ur.
- 4. THE AKKADIANS • North of Sumer, lived the Akkadians. • They were a different culture and spoke a different language. • They lived in peace with each other. • This peace was broken by Sargon. • He raised a permanent army. • Built a new capital: Akkad (near present day Baghdad). • Conquered all of Mesopotamia • Created the first Empire. More information on page 61 of your book.
- 5. FALL OF THE AKKADIANS • After Sargon, the later rulers could not hold the empire together. • Ur rose back after it rebuilt it’s strength. • Sumerians were once again the most powerful civilization.
- 6. RELIGION SHAPES SOCIETY • Religion was so important, that it played an important role on every aspect of daily life. • The Sumerians practiced polytheism. • Some of their gods: • Enlil, lord of the air. • Enki, god of wisdom. • Inanna, godess of love and war. • Pazuzu, king of demons of the wind. • Each city-state considered a god to be its protector.
- 7. GODS & PRIESTS • According to Sumerians, gods had enormous problems and could be blamed for evil or thanked for the good things. • Success or defeat in life, had everything to do with the gods. • Priests, people who performed religious ceremonies, had great status in Sumer. • They interpreted the wishes of the gods. • They helped gain the favor of the gods. • They made offerings to the gods.

- 9. UR
- 10. UR • Most of the city was filled with a maze of houses and shops. • Inside the city’s walls there were canals. But outside, they connected Ur to the nearby Euphrates. • Farmers grew crops like wheat and barley outside the city’s walls. • Massive walls protected Ur from attack. • A giant temple dedicated moon god Nanna and his wife Ningal dominated the city. • Was Ur an advanced city?
- 11. UR • Ur was not discovered until the 1800s. Until that time, people thought references to the city of Ur were mere legend. Excavations in the 1920s indicated that the city was established around 4000 BC. • Even today archaeologists still find amazing artifacts!
- 12. ASK YOURSELF • Identify: • What is polytheism? • Explain: • What kind of powers did Sumerians think their gods have? • Recall: • What purpose did the walls around the cities serve? • Describe: • What were the city states? • Draw Conclusions: • How was Sargon able to build the first empire?
