Welcome to Mesopotamia, modern day Iraq. Development of their city-states will show you how they were built and designed. In the time, the wheel invention led to many inventions such as the chariot. As time passed, stories and folk tales have been passed on including the Epic of Gilgamesh, and Exodus of Abraham and Moses.

Sumerians built around temples so the people were crammed tight into houses. The city-states were self contained within walls. Throughout Mesopotamia there were independent cities. Each city had a king and a God.

The invention of the wheel eventually led up to the chariot. The chariot has one person driving, and one person fighting. Weapons they used in the chariot are bow and arrows with some javelins. It was a light vehicle. It was a two people vehicle occasionally holding three. It was mostly made out of wood and animal skin. It was one of the vehicles you'd see the upper class ride.
