Generally, the first use of irrigation systems is credited to the Egyptians. Hieroglyphs show men irrigating the water from the Nile on their fields more than 4,000 years ago.
Most Sumerians were engaged in agriculture, cultivating crops such as barley, wheat, and various vegetables. This agrarian lifestyle was supported by the development of irrigation systems that allowed them to manage water from the Tigris and Euphrates rivers effectively. In addition to farming, many Sumerians also worked as artisans, traders, and laborers, contributing to the growth of a complex urban society.
The Sumerians are credited with several key inventions and developments, including cuneiform writing, which is one of the earliest forms of written language. They also invented the wheel, revolutionizing transportation and trade. Additionally, the Sumerians developed a sophisticated system of irrigation, allowing for more effective agriculture and supporting their urban civilizations.
The twin rivers of Mesopotamia (modern Iraq) are the Tigris and Euphrates The rivers provided waters for irrigation and their flood plains renewed soil fertility.
The important difference was the Sumerians being idolaters.
