The Sumerians lived in southern Mesopotamia. They built a number of cities. Because they lacked stone and timber, they used mud bricks to build walled cities, temples, and palaces. Their architectural innovations included arches, columns, ramps, and the pyramid-shaped ziggurat. These new features and styles influenced building throughout Mesopotamia. In addition, the Sumerians developed copper and bronze tools and weapons. They also developed the world’s first known writing, cuneiform. They used it on clay tablets.

Pyramids were built as a final resting place for the ka, or spirit, of the pharaoh. The embalmed body of the pharaoh was placed in a special room within the pyramid. Also in the room were gold, jewels, chariots, statues, and other objects the pharaoh might need in the afterlife. Pyramids were built of huge blocks of stone that were moved into place by groups of peasants and other workers. The government organized and directed these armies of workers.
