do you know about sumerians?

what is your thought about ancient knowledge origin...?

Answer 1

As the first guy said, they knew nature and the sky. They watched animals and the sky, like we watch TV. They hunted, killed, and cut up animals, knew as much as you can know about them. I think before writing, knowledge was equally known among everyone, new thoughts passed along as much as possible. After writing, scribes were very select about who would learn the symbols and knowledge came to be owned. Maybe, even, misinformation passed out in order for only a few to know the truth. This has caused troubles ever since. Just a guess.  

Answer 2

The word ancient refers to civilizations between 2,000 and 10,000 years old. The Sumerians were not the first, but were very important. Of course the ancients had some knowledge. They had at least enough knowledge to create a civilization.

Answer 3

It came from thousands of years of observing nature and the sky, before them. The first calendars are 20,000 years old!
