The Mesopotamians created many inventipns.One of them was the wheel.It is a mystery when the wheel was invented or what year it was invented.The wheel was used for many things.It was used on charriots and plows for farming.The wheel was made from planks of wood.Not everyone knew how to write during that time.Some people,if they had enough money,had to hire someone to read or write for them.But,when people signed a contract,they didn't have to write.The cylinder seal was used for that.When someone signed a contract they used the cylinder seal.A cylinder seal is a circular shaped invention that has the letters on the circular part.When you press down on the contract it will stamp your name.Back in the Mesopotamia time,they didn't use letters.They used pictures to show what something meant or to weite something.Later on they began to think of new ways they could write without pictures.Eventually,they created cunieform.Cuneiform is a way to write something without using pictures.They used symbols which was what cunieform was.After they invented cunieform,they had an easier way of writing something using symbols.The Sumerians needed a way to harness the wind when traveling across the sea.That's why they created the sail.The sail was attached to the top of a boat which would make the boat go in the right direction.They needed to find a way to make a boat go a little faster and go in the right direction for trading systems.They would travel across the seas to trade with other people.3.Cunieform was invented to find another way to write without using pictures.Before they used cunieform,everything was written using pictures.They needed another way to write.So,they used cunieform,which is a way of writing using symbols.The Sumerians created cunieform.
