In Sumerian social structure kings, landholders and priests were the highest and next wealth merchants and a majority of Sumerians who are slaves and farmers. Women had a lot of rights to do anything that men can do such as priesthood and artisans and other. In ancient Mesopotamia the Sumerians undertook the stupendous task of building embankments to control the floodwaters of the Euphrates River. The rich soil produced abundant crops such as wheat and barley. For the first time there was a surplus to feed city workers such as artists, craftsmen, and merchants. Good soil is good to these. This great change in living habits brought about civilized defined as a city-based society held together by economic enterprises. There were no nations then, only small city-states.
