All those ancient empires, where did their people go after they crumbled?

For instance, where did the Sumerians go?

Are there any people today who are descended from them?

>Men are killed

>Women open their legs to the invaders

>A generation of mongrels takes over

I think it goes like that, more or less, so at the end of the day there are descendants. They're just half this and that.

People come in and out and mix with other people. For example, modern Greeks are just slavs in denial.

They build underground fortresses and kill any who venture down as to keep their location secret.

Modern day Assyrians are the ancient Assyrians and Babylonians, therefore Sumerians/Akkadians. Babylon was always extremely multicultural, so Sumerian DNA is shared by a lot of people. South Iraq Sabians, Mandeans and Marsh Arabs still have some old Sumerian/Babylonian tradition, but are descended from the old Chaldeans (modern Chaldeans are Assyrian Catholics in denial).

And Albanians. You have old ethnic maps that show spots like the Athens region completely surrounded by Albanians, Where did they disapprear to, huh?

This is the mystery. It is suggested that they fled to space, but I'm not sure if this is true because even if they had spaceships, how would they have left without anyone noticing?

>>323112

This is a minority though. The majority of all the Sumerians vanished without a trace, at the height of Sumer the population was 15 million and growing but most of them disappeared into seemingly thin air and people now say that at the height it was only 15 thousand if even that, but I don't remember the exact numbers, but I know that Sumerians had at least 15 million that vanished without a trace.

it's cultural. they don't "go" anywhere, they stay where they are. we happen to group them into "Sumerian" culture of "Babylonian" culture. but in reality all those cultures just progressed and evolved. it wasn't usually the case of a whole new people coming in and taking over out of nowhere, and the other people mysteriously vanishing. also dont forget as past empires crumbled and new empires rose, the people working as soldiers, officers, official positions etc. in the past empire would continue as the new empire took over. you have to leave your modern concept of invasion and occupation. back then it could be weeks between traveling to different towns, so everyone was much more isolated.

They went during the night

Are you only talking about near-eastern ones? Otherwise, we Sardinian are still here, and we are pretty much still the same. It's just that everything went to shit at the time, for unknown reasons.

People don't go anywhere once they are sedentary

Modern Sumerians are still around, today they are known as "Iraqis"

modern finnish people are the pure descendants of the ancient finnish empire.

It's an endless cycle of rape. Sumerians were raped by akkadians who were raped by assyrians who were raped by babylonians who were raped by persians who were raped by macedonians.

"Our grandfathers sired feeble children; theirs

Were weaker still — ourselves; and now our curse

Must be to breed even more degenerate heirs."

I want to get off the roman rollercoaster
