Episode description
Welcome to Part 2 of this very first series for The Human History Podcast. Last time we introduced the Sumerians and heard about some of history's most lasting figures, including Gilgamesh and Abram (Abraham). In part 2 we're going to take a dive into some of the key events and innovations of the ancient Sumerians, including the settlement of the world's first city, the development of writing, the invention of the wheel, and some of the first stone architecture and large stone structures in the ziggurats.
Grab a beer, a glass of wine, or a cocktail, and sit back and let me tell you even more about the fascinating people who are the ancient Sumerians.
