River Valley Sumerian urban culture centered in Sumer [in what is now modern day Iraq], and Sumerian accomplishments included using the wheel, advancing mathematics (e.g. for measuring time), and creating the world s first writing system cuneiform - to keep records of what they did," thus beginning written human history (Kort 7). Many migrating peoples entered the region, some as peaceful settlers, others as invaders intent on conquest. Mesopotamia "must be seen as one of the first significant multilingual, multicultural societies in history, with its 3,000 years of development and no less that four major periods under different ruling groups (Sumerian, Babylonian, Assyrian and Persian)" ("Mesopotamia: The Formation of Cities and Earliest Literatures") Mesopotamia "[D]omestication of wild plants and animals was accomplished in Mesopotamia around 8500 B.C. E., well before any other nascent civilization" ("Mesopotamia: The Formation of Cities and the Earliest Literatures"; emphasis added). According to recent archeological evidence, "... people living near the present-day city of Jericho near the Dead Sea were some of the first human beings to practice agriculture, and Signs of equally ancient town life have been found at a place called Catal Huyuk in [present-day] Turkey [Anatolia], where people may have first practiced irrigation and domesticated animals (Kort 7; emphasis added)
