Detailed explanation-1: -We believe Sumerian civilization first took form in southern Mesopotamia around 4000 BCE-or 6000 years ago-which would make it the first urban civilization in the region. Mesopotamians are noted for developing one of the first written scripts around 3000 BCE: wedge-shaped marks pressed into clay tablets.
Detailed explanation-2: -Other ancient people made pottery by hand, but the Sumerians were the first to develop the turning wheel, a device which allowed them to mass-produce it.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Sumerians were the people of southern Mesopotamia whose civilization flourished between c. 4100-1750 BCE. Their name comes from the region which is frequently – and incorrectly – referred to as a “country”.
