Sumerians
Good morning, everybody. Today I will be talking about Mesopotamia the "cradle of civilization." Right now we are talking about the Sumerians who lived in Mesopotamia. Sumerians were a big part to history. They created the wheel which made life for them very easy. Sumerians studied the stars and space, they created a calendar based on the moon, and the calendar had 12 months of 30 days. The Sumerians also had deities which were gods in their times. They named their city-states after their deities and the most powerful city-state was Uruk. Sumerians were also part of the Bronze Age. Bronze was made when tin and copper were mixed together and made a very strong and powerful metal. Sumerians had an unusual way to bury their king, first they would bring his servants to the burial site and bury his possessions with him then they would give their servants a drug to kill them all. Later somebody would go down and make sure everybody is dead. Sumerians are very amazing and interesting to learn about. Thank you for listening to my blog post.
