Z Cynthia Alvarado Ziggurats Ziggurats • Ziggurats were temples built by the Sumerians to pray and bring food for the gods. They were located in the center of town and they were built on platforms. Ziggurats had stairs to the top and a wall to protect it. They were happy and exciting places where people went to daily. Ziggurats The ziggurats are similar to today because we have churches where people gather and worship god. They are centers of their communities just like ziggurats were for the Sumerians. C Cuneiform Writing Cynthia Alvarado Cuneiform Writing • Cuneiform writing was the first writing system made. Kings didn’t know how to write so scribes did it for them. Scribes had to go to school to learn how to write. They used clay tablets to write on. At school they had to write straight lines. If they did it wrong they got punished. They wrote with reeds that they found near the rivers. The rivers were the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. C cuneiform writing • Today writing is an important part of our society. Our writing came from the Sumerians. The people of Sumer had to go to school to learn how to write just like today. Today we use pencils and erasers. In Sumer, people used clay tablets and wrote with reeds. Sumerians were punished if they were late or did something wrong. Today,if people are late they get in trouble.
