Does the city Sumer still exist today?

The city of Sumer does not exist today as it was an ancient civilization located in what is now southern Iraq. The Sumerians thrived around 4500 to 1900 BCE, known for their innovations in writing, agriculture, and urbanization. While the ruins of Sumerian cities, such as Ur and Uruk, can still be found, the civilization itself has long since disappeared. Today, these sites are archaeological treasures rather than functioning cities.
