Three of the Sumerians main inventions were the wheel, the plow and cuneiform. Cuneiform was the first forms of writing. The alphabet was distinguished by wedge-shaped marks.
Irrigation was a huge invention. With the creation of levees and canals the Sumerian's controlled water flow to their crops. This was a major advance in farming because it stopped crops from flooding and brought water to the crops instead of water needing to be carried.
Sumerians contributed greatly to the area of mathematics. The first number system along with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division were said to come from the Sumer people. They came up with 360° circles, , and time. 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour and 24 hours in a day were Sumerian creations.
Eridu is argued to be the oldest city on earth. Eridu was built and settled by Sumerians. The Sumerians started the tradition of burying people when they died. The dead were buried with food and tools.
