They sought resins and the Cedars of Lebanon but they also traded for ivory, gold, silver and precious stones like Lapis lazuli.

Sumerians developed important mathematical ideas. They also created a number system based on 60. We have them to thank for our 60-minute hour, 60 second minute and the 360- degree circle.They used geometry to measure fields and put up bulidings

The Sumerians were the first known civilization with a written language called Cuneiform. Translating the hundreds of symbols and patterns told us that these people not only payed taxes but had report cards. Mostly, "documents" were found that pertained to matters of currency or government. The Sumerians used math for bookkeeping, building, and time. We adapted their 60 seconds in 1 minute, 60 minutes in one hour, and 24 hours in a day calender system. (the 24 hours in one day derived from the 3 segments on your fingers on both hands. The Sumerians used their thumb to count each segment and that's where we get 24 from.

Yes they invented the twelve month calender.

they traded grain and clay and guns and weapons and stuff and stuff and stuff and stuff and stuff and stuff and stuff and stuff and stuff and stuff and stuff with people from a different countries and people out of the Persian gulf and Mcdonalds and Burger King and Wendys

The Sumerians were in existence during the Neolithic and early Bronze Age. They used stone hammers and bronze implements and weapons.

Sumerian civilization were city-states.

it helped them alot, to also tell time time, by the minutes like 60 Min's 60 sec and other stuff. written slol4lifemaize

what the Chinese and the Sumerians had in common and what was unique about each culture. (5 points)

Their eyes were opened to the powers of the Universe.

2 Kings 25 - The Fall of Jerusalem and the Captivity of Judah

A. Jerusalem is conquered.

1. (1-3) Jerusalem under siege.

Now it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army came against Jerusalem and encamped against it; and they built a siege wall against it all around. So the city was besieged until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah. By the ninth day of the fourth month the famine had become so severe in the city that there was no food for the people of the land.

It is widely believed that iron was the only metal not imported by Sumerian merchants as their tools and weapons were crafted using either copper or bronze metals.

There is quite a bit known about the Sumerian civilization. People known as Ubaidians in the fifth millennium formed settlements that would become Sumer. The Sumarians after 3250 BC began to intermarry with locals and thus formed Sumerians. The Sumerians would eventually form the Semites, those people living in the Middle East and Mesopotamia. They had a long history of decline and prospering, and built cities discussed in the Old Testament.

The main material that Sumerian houses were made out of is sun baked mud bricks

cuneiform was the system of writing that the Sumerians invented

if you are in sixth grade this is a question you will be getting in social studies!

have fun with it

:)

in about 2000BCE

The most important invention of the Sumerian's was Irrigation.

Irrigation is how the Sumerian's led their water through pipes, etc.

It was based on the moon's rotation around the earth. The year therefore consisted of twelve moon cycles, which is roughly 40 days less than the sun-year we use today.

The ROMANS

they invaded after Darius the Third

i believe that the Assyrians owned horses so yes
