The Rise of Sumerian City States...in five minutes or less

This is a brief explanation of how Sumerian city-states grew in size, faced various problems, and solved those problems during their rise in prominence. Disclaimer: As much as I desire to share as much as I can about the topics in the forthcoming episode, I understand that I have five minutes or less to expose information. There will be info skipped, glossed over or missed. These episodes are supposed to be a starting point for learning about the topics, not an ending point. Enjoy the episode.
