World War 1 brought a series of technological advances that would change the way people live. For example, synthetic rubber was introduced and it dramatically changed the automotive industry. In medicine, the introduction of blood banks meant that it was now possible to store blood instead of having to directly transfer it from donor to recipient. Debridement, which is the removal of infected flesh in order to heal wounds, was also developed during this period.
This shifted the appliance of science into creations that would be used for mass consumption in order to improve the quality of living of people.
Ziggurats were temples.
Like many ancient people, the ancient Sumerians believed that powerful gods lived in the sky. They built huge structures, called ziggurats, with steps climbing up to the top. Religious ceremonies were held at the very top. People left offerings of food and wine. The priests enjoyed these offerings, as the gods could not eat for themselves.
<span>The Ziggurat was built in the center of town. It was the center of daily life. Except for festivals, which, for the most part, were gloomy things, the Ziggurat courtyard was gay and lively. You might see an artist painting, a boy racing by on his way to school, someone milking a cow or making a basket. </span>
<span>From the top of the Ziggurat, you could see the protective wall built about the entire town, and over the wall to the farmlands beyond.</span>
