Sumerian influences

Sumerian influences are seen in many aspects of human civilization, as they developed some of the world's first cities, writing systems (cuneiform), legal codes, and complex religious practices around 3000 BCE. Their innovations laid the groundwork for later cultures in Mesopotamia and beyond, shaping concepts of governance, law, and literature. Many ideas, such as the wheel, irrigation, and standardized writing, originated with the Sumerians and were transmitted through history, influencing subsequent societies like the Akkadians, Babylonians, and Persians. Their contributions are fundamental to the development of civilization and continue to impact modern culture and institutions.
