The Sumerians

They are a fascinating group of people who taught us how to craft Iron. Do you remember Tubal-Cain? When the great flood happened, iron making was never heard from again, but when the flood and the ice age passed the Sumerians continued the job that Tubal-Cain had. There are some fascinating things that the Sumerians have. One is the fertile crescent. This means land between the rivers. The 1st civilization was recorded when they appeared in 2224 B.C.  They also have their letters that is called cuneiform. Do you know who is Sir Leonard Woolley? He was the one who found the royal tombs in the city of Ur. He also found a ziggurat. It is a flat looking pyramid that has steps.
