Chapter 4.1 THE SUMERIANS

Sumerian city-states

Ur = an important Sumerian city-state

Sumer’s cities were surrounded by mudflats and patches of scorching desert. The harsh landscape made it hard to travel by land and communicate with other groups. The meant that each city was largely cut off from its neighbors. As a result, Sumerian cities became independent. The people of each city raised their own crops and made their own goods. As the cities grew, they gained political and economic control over the lands around them. By doing this, they formed city-states. Each city-state had its own government and was not part of any larger governing state. Historians think that each Sumerian city-state was protected by a large city wall. Ruins and artifacts have been found by archaeologists that support this theory. Because stone and wood were in short supply, the Sumerians used mud from the rivers as their main building material. They mixed mud with crushed reeds, formed bricks, and left them in the sun to dry. The gates of the wall stayed open during the day but were closed at night for protection. The ruler’s palace, a large temple, and other public buildings were located in the center of the city. Often, these city-states went to war with one another over resources and political borders. The fought to win glory or to gain more territory. During times of peace, city-states traded with each other and helped each other by forming alliances to protect their common interests. 1.FILL IN THE 4.1 ONESHEET WEB
