Contributions
The Sumerians made many contributions from technology to writing. They made lots of contributions to the future we live in.
WHEEL: Their most important technological advancement was the wheel. It was made back in 3500 B.C.E. They used the wheel to shape the pottery. They made it for wheel carts for farmers, and chariots for their army. They made it by clamping pieces of wood together.If they didn't invent the wheel they would have to drag them on the ground and they would get stuck in the mud.
WRITING: Another contribution that was made was their writing language called cuneiform. I comes from the latin word wedge. They carved their writing into stone tablets.They had as many as 2000 symbols and sounds, but over time the Sumerians simplified it down to 700. This writing system was made back in 2400 B.C.E They carved pictures into the tables so their writing style was like pictographs.
Arches were made by the Sumerians also.Arches were u or v shaped stone blocks above door ways. They believed that arches would bring lots of beauty so they put them on every entrance and home in the upper class, scientist believe that this is a big achievement as well.
PLOW: The plow was a big help to people of Mesopotamia. It was very useful to farmers, and there soil. The plow helps turn over the soil to keep the soil fresh. They did this so they could plant more crops for their farm.
SLEDGE: Sledges were another source of help for the farmers. Before the wheel they had sledges. They would get a box and put a log under it. Then they would pull the box and it would move. This was the only way they could move these heavy boxes, or they would have to carry them. This took lot of time but it made it easier to move the boxes around to where the farmers needed to go.
These invention helped influence the future. One way it influenced the future by the wheel.After manny improvements .They had made the wheel we see today that helps us every day so that our transportation is faster and less work. We use the wheel every day on cars,shopping carts, bikes, and computer carts. The farming tool gave farmers more ideas for easier ways to farm. The writhing system made helped people come up with there own ideas for a new righting systems and different languages are formed.
