Nothing lasts forever. Sumer (a collection of city-states in Mesopotamia) had a really good run at it. Remember, they started in around 3500 BCE and a little more than a 1,000 years later (even though they were on a down turn for a while) they were finally over taken by a city-state that eventually turned into the very first empire: Akkadia in 2300 BCE and the rest is history.
