Sumerian Influence

Sumerian influence refers to the impact of one of the world's earliest civilizations, located in ancient Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq). The Sumerians are known for developing cuneiform writing, which was one of the first writing systems. They also made significant advancements in mathematics, astronomy, and law, and are credited with creating some of the first cities and organized governments. Their innovations, such as the wheel and irrigation techniques, laid essential foundations for future civilizations, influencing culture, technology, and governance throughout history. This legacy continues to shape modern society in various fields today.
