I honestly don't know how you get that from what I wrote!
It's all about looking for an ideal, a dream, an identity
beyond today's sectarian divisions and
apart from the actual muck of history. Think of the way most American's celebrate Thanksgiving today,
without having just gone out and killed some indigenous Americans themselves!
It's about a meme and dream to bring the Middle Eastern nations together: not recreating some kind of historical amusement park! (Although an 'Ancient Sumer' amusement park might be part of a tour of the region one day. I'd go there!)
It's about looking at the fact that civilisation first rose in Sumer because a critical mass of people got themselves
organised.
The Sumer
meme may or may not be the most inspiring idea to promote a secular Middle-Eastern Union. It may or may not be marketable and palatable. But I in
no way mentioned copying their lifestyle! I honestly despair of the reading capacity of some supposedly modern people. I don't know how and where you got the idea that I was recommending a Sumer lifestyle from what I wrote. Indeed, let me make bold certain key phrases from the OP:-
_____________________
Remembering what was achieved in their glorious
deep past, they look
to the future. Let's abandon the names of the British Empire as it unimaginatively called the region the "Middle East" to distinguish it from the “Far East”. Dreams are not born in names of servitude, but of greatness!
Sumer is where their great ancestors invented
the very idea of civilisation itself, so #Sumer should become their
new dream, their
new movement.
Modern day Sumerians dream of
trade, not terror;
of
conversation, not combat;
of
building, not barbarism;
of
wealth, not war.
Indeed, they want to end the proxie wars....
...They want their shared identity as an ancient peoples to protect them from
future proxie wars.

All I was suggesting is a rallying cry for them to move forward into a new, self-protecting geopolitics rather than self-destructive proxie wars.
I mean, imagine all these nations in the British named Middle East were looking out for each other rather than doing this and allowing other superpowers to play proxie wars across their lands like some bizarre game of chess?
