Sumer

Egypt and Sumer are both ancient civilizations that have flourished in the beginning of time, they have similarities but also many differences. Egypt, settled right on the Nile River, began as two separate regions: Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt. Oddly enough, Upper Egypt is, in fact, below Lower Egypt; but when a king named Narmer took over, he united them together into a single kingdom, which lasted over a period of 3,000 years. On the other hand, the ancient civilization Sumer was settled on two

Sumer was a very prosperous country.They had enormous amounts of money and natural resources, but they had one problem politically.They were divided into multiple city states spread throughout their region of land. City states are cities that are also separate, independent states.These multiple city states fought with each other for many years over land and use of river water and had been conquered twice.

Sumer was a growing civilization with a written language, education, government, religion, economy, and family hierarchy. “Sumer was a particular civilization that developed in the region of Mesopotamia.” Due to Mesopotamia being so plentiful, this let Sumer bloom into a great civilization. A written language in Sumer was in the form of cuneiform, characters

very impressive civilizations, Egypt and Sumer, took shape around the same time. This proximity provided them with remarkable similarities, yet a copious amount of differences still grew between the two areas. Largely due to their access to resources and environment, the communities grew in very different manners, which led to differences in political development, as well as their leaders, which in turn affected their overall success. In regards to Sumer, it flourished in the area of Mesopotamia

language because, in some instances, they seem to tell a story (say, of a hunting expedition in which specific events occurred) rather than being simply pictures of animals and people. Written language, however, does not emerge until its invention in Sumer, southern Mesopotamia, c. 3500 -3000 BCE. This early writing was called cuneiform and consisted of making specific marks in wet clay with a reed implement. The writing system of the Egyptians was already in use before the rise of the Early Dynastic

Impact of Fertile Cresent Cultures Sumer and Babylon Both, the people that belonged to Sumer(Sumerians) and Babylon (Babylonians) were part of the early/ancient Mesopotamian civilizations; however since Sumer was the first civilization on record in Mesopotamia and started off much more early than the Babylonian civilization, it couldn’t have adapted anything that the Babylonian civilization created. However the other way around. Babylonians did adapt some things about the Sumerians and had some

Sumer and Egypt were two of the first civilizations established in ancient history, the Sumerians being the pioneers of civilization. Each of the civilizations settled on fertile lands and established political, religious, and economic standards of their own. The Sumerians created a system of writing called cuneiform, developed a theocratic government, established an agricultural-based economic system, and created a polytheistic religion. Because the land was flat and marshy with few hills or mountains

The Sumer people were the first to create a written language in 3500-3000 BCE, 2000 years before the ancient Chinese. They were the first to enforce the idea of a set time for a work day, there is evidence to suggest they invented the wheel, and are even responsible for time itself. The Sumer people divided day and night into 12 hours each consisting of 60 minutes with each minute consisting of 60

Both of these places had wealthy civilizations but different styles of doing them.ancient Sumer and ancient Egypt are more different than similar because while they had a type of writing in common, they differed in their social classes and their types of government.

Ancient Sumer is considered one of the oldest, if not the first civilization known to man. Thought to be over 7000 years old by some historians, the ancient civilization of Sumer is truly one of a kind. Being such an old group of people, was Sumer able to advance its own culture and society in such an ancient time? Has Sumer affected modern society as we know it today? To begin, the inventions of ancient Sumer truly had an effect on both their society and us today. The wheel, although seen as such
