The Wheel
It appears to be such a simply invention. The wheel totally changed how people lived and worked in Mesopotamia. The wheel made so many more things possible. In a farming community like Mesopotamia, it allowed the people to transport their crops using the wheels, which meant it was a lot easier to get the crops to the storage bins and into the towns. Picture a huge load of wheat. It would be very difficult to move that load of wheat without the wheel. Yes, irrigation is important to the people of Mesopotamia and to growing crops
Money
The people of Mesopotamia started a system of money to get what they lacked. During Mesopotamia, trading was a major method in getting something that you wanted. However, people began to want to be able to get things without having to give up something. Imagine if there was no money in our world.
Chariot
The chariot allowed the people of Mesopotamia to be much more mobile. These event was a huge step forward in progressing as a civilization. The chariot is a two wheeled cart that is pulled by a horse. This allowed the people of Mesopotamia to move around and travel much easier and faster.
Bricks
The people of Mesopotamia developed a new way to construct buildings. They used bricks. To make these bricks, the people used mud and straw. They would mix these two ingredients together and let them dry in the scorching sun. This would produce a very hard, durable brick. As a result of this invention, the people were able to build buildings that were very strong. Also, this invention allowed the people to easily make buildings because there was a lot of mud and straw in the area. This was an extremely important event in Mesopotamia because people were able to protect themselves.
Ziggurat
