Mgw...I agree with James F that this is not a perfect solution becuase it perpetuates much of the POV of BC/AD, but I believe that this is nevertheless the most sensible thing to do.
Since BCE is defined as BC and CE is defined as AD, just changing the name is (as said above) just putting a make-believe NPOV face on an inherantly POV concept: it makes believe, somehow, that the Common Era is not exactly congruent with the Christian Era.
In my own view, BCE and CE were developed to deal with Christianity and try to remove Christian influence from the world.

Susa is one of the oldest-known settlements of the region, probably founded about 4000 BCE; though the first traces of an inhabited village date back to 7000 BCE.
The city lost some of its importance when Alexander of Macedon conquered it in 331 BCE and destroyed the first Persian Empire, but after Alexander's vast empire collapsed upon his death, Susa became one of the two capitals (along with Ctesiphon) of Parthia.
In 647 BCE, the Assyrian king Assurbanipal leveled the city during the course of a war in which the people of Susa apparently participated on the other side.

 Sumeria
From its beginnings as a collection of farming villages around 5000 BCE, through its conquest by Sargon of Agade around 2370 BCE and its final collapse under the Amorites around 2000 BCE, the Sumerians developed a religion and a society which influenced both their neighbors and their conquerors.
In addition, there is evidence of the Sumerians in the area both prior to the Uruk period and after the Ur III Dynastic period, but relatively little is known about the former age and the latter time period is most heavily dominated by the Babylonians.
The Early Dynastic period ran from 2900 BCE to 2370 BCE and it is this period for which we begin to have more reliable written accounts although some of the great kings of this era later evolved mythic tales about them and were deified.
