Example of the Sumerian Script.

As I was reading about the Mesopotamians, I learned about people called the Sumerians. The Sumerians are believed to have created the basic foundation of the Mesopotamian civilization. Mesopotamians are believed to have also created the writing system of cuneiform used by ancient Mesopotamians. Sumerians also came up with the basic ideas and concepts of a religion which was later followed by Mesopotamians. Then in 2900 B.C.E. people named Semitics were found on the land of the Sumerians. From then on, Semitics slowly invaded the land of the Sumerians. Although Semitics adapted to many beliefs and ideas of the Sumerians, Sumerians were very little in population since the dominating people were those of the Semitic culture. http://history-world.org/sumeria,%20dress.htm
