Fun Facts about Ancient Mesopotamian Cultures: The Invention of Writing: The Sumerians, one of the earliest Mesopotamian cultures, invented the world's first writing system, cuneiform, around 3200 BCE, using wedge-shaped marks pressed into clay tablets to record everything from beer recipes to epic poetry. The Ziggurat: These were massive stepped pyramids built in the center of Mesopotamian cities, like temples. They were not tombs, but were thought to be meeting places between the gods and humans, literally raising the temple closer to the heavens. Hammurabi's Code: The famous legal code from Babylon (around 1754 BCE) is one of the oldest deciphered writings of significant length in the world, establishing the foundational principle of "an eye for an eye."
