There are similarities between Sumerian and Greek, which suggests extensive Greek colonisation of Syria-Palestine and Mesopotamia before the emergence of the Sumerians. The name of Palestine alone indictes that was a European land.
Sumerian civilization starts at 3.500 bc. but the Greek some thousands of years before. Archeological finds in Macedonia of 5250 bc, and the island of Yaros proved the existence of alphabet there which is almost 2000 years older than this of the Sumerian, as well as they have prove that symbols found in Sumerian objects were existed on Greek objects at least 2000 years earlier.
The oldest script in the world has been found not in Northern Greece, not Mesopotamia.

The meanders, crosses, swastikas, found in Lerna, Sesklo, Diminio (5th millenium) are older than this which were found in the Sumerian city Samara in Mesopotamia. (3rd millenium). There was also found double axes which have their origin in Crete.
The archaeologist Fr.Schachermeyer says that the pottery of Lerna, Sesko, And Diminio (Greece) which belong at the 5th and the 4th millenium bc, is closely related to this of Mesopotamia which is of after 3.500 bc. Something anybody can note just looking at the objects.
But first of all the Sumerians them selves said that they came in Mesopotamia through the sea and the most important researcher of the Sumerian civilization S.N.Kramer confirms the Mediterranean origin of the Sumerians in his book "History begins at Sumer" where he points out that "the skulls of the Sumerian tombs shows a commixture among the Armenian race and the Mediterranean race, where the second (Mediterranean race) predominates"
Carleton Coon in his book "The races of Europe" (1939) claims that there was a massive emigration of Mediterranean people to Asia at about the 7th millenium BC. These people arrived in northern and southern Mesopotamia and comprised the pre-Sumerian, Elamitic people of Mesopotamia. The prehistoric Greeks had the ability to travel through the sea and settled in Mesopotamia.
The finds in Xoirokitia Cyprus and the others in Ugarit(Ras Shamra) in Syria shows that people from Greece had come to the Middle East already from the 6th millenium bc.
All of Mesopotamia had no inhabitants due to the claciers until 14.000 it was impossible for people from other places except the Aegean to settled there. The archeological exhibits in Greece (at Frachthi and at the island of Giaros) shows that Greeks were traveled with sailboats and ships already from the 11.000 bc.

By those finds has become clear that Sumerians isn't the first civilization of the world. The fact that European languages have more cognates than Mesopotamian ones and Greek has the most, is another giveaway. The Gods of the Sumerians all have names which can be resolved in Greek.
Sumerian Gods. Greek version
Enlil ---- Elanios (Zeus)
Ninki (wife of Enlil) ---- Niki =victory
Ea (God of earth) ---- Gea = earth
The Sumerian God of waters was Kamilos (a known name of Hermes in Greece) Ea was the Sumerian God of earth and the name comes from the Greek name Gea - Gaia ("e" and "ai" sound the same in Greek) and it means earth.
The Sumerian Gods such as Tammuz and Shamash (from which the name Shem derives) were all of Greco-Phoenician origin.
Tammuz derives from a word knowm in Akkadian and Sumerian which originates from an INDO-EUROPEAN root - POTAMOS meaning River (in Greek) since the Tammuz cult originated from the annual flooding and drying-up cycle of the Euphrates.
The name was so common the virtually every river in Europe was named Tammuz from the Daube (Eri-Danu to Thames is named after Tammuz as is the Danube, ie. EriDanus and the Rhone/Rhine or RoDanus. The very name Thomas is derived from the name Tammuz.
Tom = Thomas = Tammuz.
It has been proven by the archaeological finds the linguistic and anthropological studies the Sumerians and the Helamitic people of Mesopotamia were of Greek origin and they went in Mesopotamia coming from the Aegean. The finds at Limnaion, Frachthi, Sesklo, Diminio, and Yaros has prove that decidedly.
There's much of similarity in mythology, religion, pottery (and it is proven that the Greek pottery is 2000 years older than this of Sumerians) and also symbols, language, and origin since it's also proven that the source of Sumerians was Greece.
THE AEGEAN PROVENANCE OF THE SUMERIAN AND THE HELAMITIC PEOPLE OF MESOPOTAMIA
In many of the history books is alleged that the source of the civilization was the surrounded by the rivers Tigris and Euphrates area of Mesopotamia.
They claim that in this area the writing was founded and there came to the light the oldest civilization of the world the Sumerian civilization. However this theory has to face some new datums since the new archeological finds indicates the Aegean as the source of the civilization and the Aegean provenance of the major popular element of the Mesopotamian people.
The Sumerian language is influenced massively with Grecopelasgic words and ditto the religion and the mythology of the Sumerians. Therefore the roots of the Sumerian and Helamitic civilization is in Greece and not the opposite. The Sumerian cities were discovered and excavated at 1843-46 (Ninevi) at 1854 (Taylor) and at 1925 Leonard Wooley discovered Ur the most important Sumerian city. The only real agreement among the historians is that Sumerians came to Mesopotamia at 3.500 bc.
All of Mesopotamia had no inhabitants due to the claciers until 14.000 it was impossible for people from other places except the Aegean to settled there. The archeological exhibits in Greece shows that Greeks were traveled with sailboats and ships already from the 11.000 BC.
