Interesting facts about the Mesopotamia theme

In Mesopotamia, the first wheels were created about 5,500 years ago, and carts with wooden wheels soon became a symbol of progress and trade. Craftsmen often made the spokes and rims from durable hardwoods such as oak or elm. With the use of these wheels, goods could be transported over long distances – a milestone in human cultural history. Children in Mesopotamian cities like Uruk or Ur played with miniature models of these carts to replicate the adults' daily lives.

Clothing in this era was primarily made from linen fabrics in natural colors, sometimes painted or embroidered. In your coloring picture, you can use soft beige and brown tones or highlight the garment with strong reds. The cart itself invites you to experiment with different shades of brown and depict the grain with its wooden structure details.

Mesopotamia is considered the cradle of civilization: the first characters were inscribed on clay tablets, and irrigation systems revolutionized agriculture. Carts with wooden wheels were part of this rapid progress and made trade between cities possible.
