Advanced Technology

The Mesopotamians made several significant advances in science and technology during the Uruk Period and Early Dynastic Period, including inventing writing, developing mathematics like addition and fractions, and establishing a base-60 number system still used today for time. They were also skilled astronomers who could track planetary movements and may have discovered the Pythagorean theorem and pi. The Mesopotamians had advanced irrigation, used metals like bronze and iron, and wove cloth, establishing themselves as one of the most advanced early civilizations.

Developments of Ancient Mesopotamia got numerous significant advances within the regions of
science and technology during the Uruk Period (4100-2900 BCE) and Early Dynastic Period
(2900-1750 BCE) of the Sumerian culture of southern Mesopotamia. Maybe the foremost
significant development made by the Mesopotamians was the invention of writing by the
Sumerians with the invention of writing. With this knowledge of writing, Hammurabi's code was
inscribed as a law for the Mesopotamians and literature saw its rise by major workpiece of
literature like “The epic tale of Gilgamesh”. To the current day, the archaeologists do not know
evidently who invented the wheel, but the oldest wheel discovered was found in Mesopotamia.
It’s undoubtedly the principal utilized for creating pottery in 3500 BC and afterward, they utilized
it for building chariots in around 3200 BC. For time keeping the Mesopotamians invented a
number system just what we use in modern days, it used base 60 like we use base 10, they
divided time into 60s such as 60 seconds for 1 minute and 60 minutes for 1 hour which we still
use to the present day. They developed the idea that a circle covers 360 degrees. They had a
vast knowledge of mathematics such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, quadratic
equations, cubic equations, fractions, and many more. All of those qualities helped them evolve
into a civilization that was very advance in record keeping and with huge architectural
advancements. The Mesopotamians used complex formulas for measuring the circumference
and area for various geometric shapes like rectangles, circles, and triangles. According to some
evidence found it was also suggested that the Mesopotamians were really close to figuring out
the Pythagorean Theorem long before Pythagoras introduced it to the world. They may have
even discovered the number for pi and figuring out the circumference of a circle using their
advanced math. The Mesopotamians were also great astronomers of their time, they were able
to follow how the stars, planets, and the moon moved around. And by the help of their
knowledge in advanced logical mathematics, and by studying the phases of the Moon, they
were able to predict the movements of several planets and this was one of their major
achievements. Some proof recommends that they even realized the Pythagorean Theorem
sometime before Pythagoras himself. They may have even discovered the number for pi and
used it to calculate the circumference of a circle using their advanced math. The Mesopotamian
astronomers were really advance according to their timeline, they were able to follow the
movements of the stars, planets, and the moon. One of the significant accomplishments was the
ability to predict the movements of nearby planets, this took good knowledge in logic
mathematics, and the ability to use a scientific process by studying the phases of the Moon.
This civilization had some of the advanced irrigation methods to water their crops according to
their timeline. They used metals like bronze and iron to make strong tools and weapons. With
the help of looms, the Mesopotamians also used to weave cloth from wool. The Mesopotamians
was really an advanced civilization for their significant advances in science and technology
compared to other civilization in their timeline.
