At first they drew simple pictures to stand for different items. By 3000 B.C. priests made a system that could record far more numbers of objects. Writing was so useful that priests set up schools to train scribes.

Many good things were started in Mesopotamia when the Sumerians turned it in to a farmland. Two new techniques made things easier. One of them was irrigation. Irrigation was a system for watering crops. They could keep their crops nice and fresh on a really hot or dry day. The other one was the plow. The plow made digging easier. Instead of digging with bare hands, they simply dragged the plow and it made a hole to put in the seeds to plants new crops.

The Sumerian city-states devolved a social order with 3 social classes . The upper classes consisted of the ruler, his top officials, powerful priests, wealthy merchants, and large landowners. The average class was farmers and skilled workers. The last level was mainly slaves. This order was supported by religious beliefs and by the government of city states.

Priests were like the rich people in Mesopotamia. They had some special powers that normal people could not have. They were the ones who can communicate to the gods. This is why the normal people were depending on them because they wanted to know what the gods wanted and what they were saying. They ran temple they the gods communicated and worshiped. These temples were called ziggurats. They were ruling the Sumerians until kings came which ruled them.

Priests had to make marks on tablets of wet clay in order to keep track of all the goods they kept. They just drew symbols to keep track. Then in 3000 B.C, they made a new system. They mad schools that thought scribes how to write. A scribe is a person who was trained to writ to keep records.
