The Sumerian people known as, "scribes" are the ones who recorded information. They would push a wedged-shape object into a clay tablet. Today, this way of writing is known as, "cuneiform". This was thought to be the first written language, but more recent discoveries prove otherwise. Archaeologists have found older writing in Egypt.

The Sumerians separated people into three social groups. The upper class which was made up of the ruler, his top officials, wealthy merchants, and large landowners, etc. The middle class was made up of mostly farmers and skilled workers. The lowest class was mostly slaves. This social order was supported by the government, and religious beliefs.

The Sumerians developed techniques to help them keep a productive farmland. The first technique they used was irrigation. When farmers used an irrigation system to carry water to crops, they would keep the crops away from flooding rivers. They could also take care of their plants in the hot, dry parts of the year.

Once writing was invented it was spread across the world. Each group made a language so it could fit each and every groups needs.First they used pictographs to just record the amount of sales,days, and even just writing for fun. They then made pictographs into symbols with wet clay. They then made over 2,000 symbols which they had to learn all of.
