- Hi my name is Ur-Nammu, I am the king or Ur. The gods have chosen me to rule the city. I come from the Mesopotamia era. I am here to tell you all about our wonderful Sumerian City-States! As a king I am in charge of ruling the land, hiring workers to build temples, roads, and new cannals.
- Hey wait a minute! What about me?I am the Sumerian city-state priest, and I am the leader here. I am the one who chooses the best person to lead us in battle, and I help you create religeous ceremonies that support your royal power.
- Our land is a plain that lies between the two great rivers, the Euphrates, and the Tigris. Our soil is rich and fertile, we can grow many grains and vegetables here! We can also raise sheep, goats, and cattle!
- Hey, Ur-Nammu! I created a way to irrigate our crops! My crew of workers can dig many miles of irrigation canals to bring water from the rivers to our fields. This way our crops can still get water during our hot and dry summer.
- Well I'm glad you asked! How could forget that the Sumerians made several advances in mathmatics and astronomy? We figured out how to divide an hour into 60 minutes and a minute into 60 seconds! We also divided a year into 12 months with 30 days in each month. I wonder if people in the future will keep this method?
- Excuse me! Who are you and what are you guys doing here?!
- Hey! What are we doing on the moon!?
- I have to take a moment to brag about how the Sumerian people where one of the first cultures to make bronze. Bronze is a harder metal than copper, so it is way better for making weapons and tools. This will be to our advantage in the future!
- Here Ye! Here Ye! I declare our city laws are now a law code. My Ur-Nammu law code will include laws about slavery, marriage, and causing harm to other people.
- Be warn people of Sumer! If a man knocks out the eye of another man, he shall weigh out half a mina of silver!
- Please keep track of the 18 fish I will be giving to the temple!
- I need a system to keep track of my stored goods! I will draw pictographs on clay and call this cuneiform. My cuneiform will be a system of writing that will use triangular shaped symbols to stand for ideas, sounds, or words!
