Anyone with any historical knowledge knows that the first bureaucracies emerged with the first civilizations. The oldest bits of writing we have from Sumeria are bureaucratic documents.
There were civilizations before Sumeria. They just didn't write things down. Possibly they weren't bureaucratic and didn't need to write things down.
Bronze age civilizations like Sumeria were particularly bureaucratic, because bronze technology promoted bureaucratic empires. The level of bureaucracy actually fell during the iron age.
Huh? Sumeria WAS the first civilization.
