Sumerian Wagon Wheel
The Sumerians were the inventors of many things that are common objects in present-day, like the wheel and the sundial. These people are also credited with creating the arch, the dome, the Potter's wheel, and making bronze from copper and tin. All these accomplishments imply that the people of Sumer were advanced in math for their time period. They made a system of numbers that, unlike today's Base-10 System, was Base-60. However, the numerals were complex and hard to write, different from the simplicity of those today.
