Journey to the cradle of civilization between the Tigris and Euphrates — Sumer, Babylon, Assyria, the invention of writing, the wheel, and the earliest codes of law.
Journey to the cradle of civilization between the Tigris and Euphrates — Sumer, Babylon, Assyria, the invention of writing, the wheel, and the earliest codes of law.
Cuneiform writing, developed by the Sumerians around 3400 BC, is the oldest known writing system, initially used for recording grain transactions before evolving to capture literature like the Epic of Gilgamesh — the world's oldest surviving narrative, dating to roughly 2100 BC. The Code of Hammurabi, inscribed on a 2.25-meter basalt stele around 1754 BC, contains 282 laws covering topics from property rights to medical malpractice, and is one of the earliest examples of a written legal code. The Sumerians also invented the sexagesimal (base-60) number system around 3000 BC, which is why we still divide hours into 60 minutes and circles into 360 degrees.
