Sumer

Sumerians in Ancient Mesopotamia, built sun-dried mud brick walls along the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers to prevent flooding and they dug irrigation canals if the river became dry.

The Sumerian's made early versions of mathematics, advanced writing\language, and art.

Brick and wood because bricks were made of mud and that was very plentiful near the Tigris and Euprates rivers. Trees, wood were also very plentiful.

The Sumerians recorded the positions of the stars and planets and develop a calendar for a couple of reasons. First they believed in a form of astrology where local events could be predicted understanding the heavens. Also, it helped them tell the best time of the year to plant crops.

In ancient Sumer and Babylonia, most structures were made of Mud Brick.

The role it played was the center of Sumerian lives. Sumerians worshiped gods in the temple, called a ziggurat, and that's why the ziggurat is the largest structure and in the center of the village. The ziggurat gave Sumerians a place to worship their gods, who they believe can prevent disasters and created humans to serve them, so that's their main purpose in life. This was the role the temple played in Sumerian society.

They believed that the gods could save them from floods, droughts, and famen.

No, the Sumerians and Babylonians did not follow the Ten Commandments. However they had their own moral values, taught by their own religion.

Mesopotamia domesticated sheep, goats, cattle, and pigs, to name a few. Domestication came about in order to have stable supply of food.

In their warfare between each other to acquite and protect their land an water, some cities became dominant and established control over lesser cities, establishing first concederations, then empires, the first of which was Akkad uner Sargon, who established an empire in the later 3rd Millennium BCEcovering Mesopotamia, the Levant and part of today's Iran. The cities lost independence under this rule.

I think priests were so influential because without priests, who would know what the gods needs.

sumerian pottery was better known for its quantity than its quality ; there was alot made but few were works of art and beauty.

This early type of writing practised by the Ancient Sumerians is called cuneiform or impressing onto clay tablets an alphabet as well as numbers or scores to record anything from a simple bill of sale, a record of what was bought or sold, inventories of storehouses and even marriage, dowry, and letters of communication. Clay was abundant and inexpensive. Papyrus developed later was a time consuming, labour. A dried and kiln fired clay tablet was a bit heavy, yet so durable they have been unearthed today intact. The soft clay was pressed into by a scribe who used a stylus typical shapes were triangle shaped at the end and the other end round or elongated. Errors could be easily wiped clear and edited with a soft wet cloth. Once the tablet was sealed by its preparer or signed, it was dried then fired as pottery was. A recorded event, a bill of sale an army captains orders could then be dispatched in a written form. Some tablets have been found to contain more than one persons recorded information almost resembling "scratch" paper notes reused until no space remains or like a card signed by more than one author.

Genesis 2

"And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. And out of the ground the LORD God made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. The name of the first is Pishon: it is the one which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. And the name of the second river is Gihon: it encompasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: it goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates. "

The 15 consonants distinguished by the ancient Sumerian writing system are transliterated by modern scholars as b, d, g, ĝ (like English 'ng' in "sing"), h (sometimes written with a crescent underneath, and thought to resemble German 'ch' in "Bach"), k, l, m, n, p, r, s, š (like English 'sh'), t, and z. We are not certain exactly how these sounds were pronounced, or whether, for example, the distinction between 't' and 'd' was one of voicing, as in English, or involved some other contrast such as aspiration (breathiness) or tenseness.

There is thought to have been a sound somewhere between d and r, variously transliterated as 'dr', 'dr', or 'ř', and perhaps variant 'l' and 'h' sounds, but these are not clearly represented by the writing system. It has also been suggested that the language may have contained a glottal stop (the initial sound of English "uh-oh!"), but this too do is not represented in the writing.

the Sumerians used clay that was dried as a shape of a brick and it made them a comfy house

The Sumerians used a script called "Cuneiform" pronounced qew-nay-i-form. Cuneiform documents were impressed on wet clay by means of a blunt reed and the impressions left by the reed were wedge shaped, hence the name cuneiform from the Latin term cuneus, meaning "wedge").
