what I learned lest week

the Ancient Sumerian's built all their buildings out of mud bricks, Sumerian Scribes wrote in cuneiform (which was not as complicated hieroglyphics but was still pretty complicated).

Ancient Sumerian Trade revolved around the the Tigress and Euphrates rivers, whenever they wanted to travel south they would build a little boat that was shaped like a bowl,(I can't remember what it was called) and float down the river, but  when they needed to go north, east, or west it was a totally different story they had to walk in thief infested deserts (as a result nobody traveled east, or west and only traveled north when they absolutely had to).

   I also learned about; Hunter Gatherers vs Farmers, Gobekli Tepe in Turkey, Mount Nemrut, The very earliest maps, Drawing Mesopotamia, Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh ,Even and Odd numbers, Counting up to ten, Doubling, Review of Epic of Gilgamesh, Ancient Lyre Music
