Detailed explanation-1: -The lower, or working class, of ancient Sumer, consisted of the poor, peasants, farmers, and other associated members of workers. Overall, the group was the largest of all Sumerian social classes and was mostly made up of farmers.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The Sumerians relied on the Tigris and Euphrates to supply their irrigation canals with water to grow their crops. This meant that, if the river flow decreased due to drought, the Sumerians could lose food production and a famine could ensue.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Sumerian civilization collapsed c. 1750 BCE with the invasion of the region by the Elamites. Shulgi of Ur had erected a great wall in 2083 BCE to protect his people from just such an invasion but, as it was not anchored at either end, it could easily be walked around – which is precisely what the invaders did.
