They first improved agriculture. They later established which was essential for storing crops. Then it was used for grinding grain. Last, it was then used for farm and military vehicles. Sumerian were the first to use writing and math, even systems were used to keep track of food storage and trade. The military used it to keep track of men, weapons, and supplies. They were the first to study the stars and sun in a serious way. It helped them tell time so they could decide when to plant crops. A way of reading the stars also helped them plan when to attack their enemies. They believed that the stars could speak of their success or failure.
