What about the alternative history proposed by others? Like the "homelands", Atlantis...and Lemuria? I think that in this matter will be better to just make conclusions, because the this has been discussed in another thread. If this is not accepted then you're right, the Summerians.

Well on Atlantis at least, their is simply no argument to make: Atlantis is a Platonic Allegory (like the ring of Gyges or the Cave of Socrates), it begins and ends with its creator. To the extent that it resemble any other place is coincidence, combined with the fact that Plato was a talented and creative writer who took the time to decorate his rhetorical creations with more than just the bare bones of a story.

Edit:A further thought, there a huge bit of cherry picking the evidence with Plato’s Atlantis story. Plato asserts that Athens was technologically comparable to Atlantis in his story, in other words that at some remote pre-civilization data (9000 BC or whatever), not only was there an Atlantis but there was a Greece with an Athens that was just as advanced. The second part of that equation is demonstrably not true, so why should the first part be true?
