Indeed, Sumerians were Asians, but none of those which inspired the series, which were East and South Asian ones.

However, as I've written before, some level of civilisation was needed to disrupt balance, if it happened, as it can be seen by the existance of a pretty complex script in the Cave of the Two Lovers, which is older than the Avatar.
