Ancient History
"Long before recorded history mankind had found lumps of metal and hammered it into useful shapes. However, at some unknown time in early Mesopotamia the ability to purify metal from ore, then smelt and form it using heat, unearthed a new world of tools. Rocks rich in copper, tin, and lead could now be more readily used and they came into demand.
Sometime around 6000 BCE copper smelting became common, which later lead to uncovering the secrets of bronze and iron smelting. Better tools, such as plows and scythes, as well as weapons and armour revolutionized society at every level and time."

Metal Working
"The seeder plow, invented by the Mesopotamian, was a major technological achievement. It revolutionized agriculture by carrying out the tasks of seeding and ploughing simultaneously. Seed was dropped down the middle funnel into the furrow that the plow created. The ancient Mesopotamian believed that the god Enlil created the seeder plow and that the image of the plow could also be seen in the stars. They discovered that by observing the movements of celestial bodies they could measure time, which was key for planting crops.
Their astronomical observations still aid today's scientists."
