Sumerians And The Beginning Of Civilization
August 23rd, 2008 by admin
Ancient Mesopotamia and the Sumerians were the first to witness settlement. Man had ceased being a nomad and began raising cattle, farming and developing their skills at a fast pace. Perhaps the most number of discoveries and inventions ever made were in the ancient era of the Sumers. Ancient Sumerian clothing evolved and changed over the era as well.
Agriculture was initially relegated to the flax plant and rearing to sheep. Hence, came the first Sumerian clothing made of wool and flax stems. Earlier ancient Sumerian Clothing consisted of sheep skin worn directly on the body. With the advent of weaving and dyeing techniques, ancient Sumerian clothing style evolved to fabric covering the entire body. These were however worn with leaving the right shoulder and arm uncovered. Men and women, rich and poor wore the same styles; the wealthy however differed in the material being used for the fabric and wore brighter colors.
