This culture developed between the Tigris and Euphrates
rivers in southern Mesopotamia, lasting from approximately
3500-2340 BCE. They developed schools, libraries, written
laws, the wagon wheel and plow, and they cast objects in
copper and bronze. They developed a system of writing
called cuneiform, made up of wedge-shaped symbols
pressed into clay. The Sumerians built large, stepped-
pyramid temples called ziggurats.
