Sumerian history

[peace frog]

The Sumerians: The history of Ancient Iraq is truly an epic of human endeavor, 3000 BC, Sumerians pioneered major discoveries and inventions. They are the inventors of the first system of writing, the founders of the first school, the pioneers of mathematical principles and calculations. From them spring the first astronomers and astrologers, the first legislation and jurisprudence, the first library and the first pharmacy, the first prose and the first poem, the first irrigation system, and the first city planning, the first principles of morality and the first attempt to theology through mythology, the first parliament and the first city-state. The Sumerians are those who made Mesopotamia the Cradle of Civilization.
