Trivia of the Week (Answer)…


This week’s questions asked, where was the first known writing developed?  It was developed by Sumerians in Southern Mesopotomia.

The answer could be found any number of ways. One way would be to make use of the Daily Life through History database.  This database allows you to browse daily life in the ancient world, medieval world, 15th and 16 centuries, 17th and 18th centuries, 19th century, and modern world and find out what it was like.  You can also, of course search the database.  Find it listed alphabetically on LAPL’s Research & Homework page (https://lapl.org/collections-resources/research-and-homework) and access it with your library card.
