<h3>What was significant about Uruk?</h3><h3 />
Uruk was one of the very first cities that was founded on Earth. It was in Mesopotamia and had thousands of people living in it at its height. Uruk was a very influential center for trade, politics, and the arts during its time and this was primarily down to their ability to write their activities down.
Using clay tables, the people of Uruk were able to keep a record of the art and activities they went through. This meant that they were able to preserve the memory and imagination of the city. This is said to be Uruk's greatest legacy.
During the reign of the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great (AD 306–337), Christianity began to transition to the dominant religion of the Roman Empire.
