The Sumerians developed a form of writing called cuneiform, making them the first people in the ancient world to do so. This allowed them to document their history, laws, and religion. Naturalism in life-size sculpture was first achieved by the ancient Greeks, while the Sumerians did not conquer the Greek city-states. The Sumerians did use bronze weapons, but this was not unique to them as many ancient civilizations also used bronze weaponry.
