The Sumerians are the oldest known civilization on Earth,

the cradle of our modern world, where many inventions were made: agriculture, writing, the code of laws, cities, medicine, astronomy ... Originally a goddess of grain, Nissaba became the patroness of writing. She is one of the oldest attested Sumerian deities and remained an important goddess through many periods of Mesopotamian history. The art of writing was known as a gift of Nissaba . Many clay tablets honor her with the phrase " Nissaba be praised."
