Sumerian Accomplishments

  • We know from relieve sculptures dating to 850 BC that the Sumerians were capable of using the wheel. This sets them apart, as perhaps the first culture to fuse art and technology.
  • The Sumerians employed a system of counting that is based on 60, and a circle of 360 degrees-this system was used to measure time. It was a basis for calculating like our decimal system--it allowed for multiplication tables, square roots, cubes.
  • The need for mass production of pottery led to the invention of the POTTER'S wheel.
  • At the same time, Sumerian technology had accomplished the casting and invention of glass.
