Sumer rises again: The Guti Dark Age and neo-Sumerian Renaissance.
For the following hundred and fifty years, the Guti ruled Mesopotamia in misery; it can be called a dark age. There is little written record or art from this time, and the ones found are unsophisticated. The Guti showed little concern for maintaining agriculture, written records, or public safety.

Sargon of Akkad: Akkadians finally have their seat in power of Mesopotamia.

From Flood to Fields: How Eridu Turned Desert into Civilization
In the beginning there was a great flood. Eridu was not built on conquest but on survival. After the flood, humans reshaped the desert with canals and clay, turning scarcity into storage, and floodplains into farms.

लव-कुशको नागरिकता।
म सीता, म माटोकी छोरी, अझै वनवासी, अझै प्रश्नवाची। कहिले जनकपुर, कहिले अयोध्या, कहिले वनवास, कहिले ऋषिको कुटी; म कहिल्यै घरकी भइन। कसरी प्रमाणित गरूँ – म यही माटोकी छोरी? कसरी देखाउँ तिमीलाई – मेरो गर्भमा हुर्किएको पीडा?
