%X Writing firstly exists in Mesopotamia at the end of the year 400 B.C. Writing firstly began with hieroglyph in Sumers. It began with picture writing and then changed to ideographic writing. Before building the cities, human beings firstly settled down in Neolytic era. In the valley of the southeastern Toros mountains, they setteler the first villages. After that, the first cities exist in southern Mesopotamia at the end of the 4000 B.C. The first cities which were accepted that Sumers founded were politically city states at the same time. We can give Ur, Uruk, Eridu, Lagoes, Kis and Larsa cities as an example to these city states which were called sites. Harran, Babil and Jerussalem are first big city samples. Judgement and law writing tradition firstly began with Sumers. These judgement and law writings affected all the societies lived in Mesopotamia by the time. Urukagina laws were the first known law writing materials. Hammurabi laws were amongst the ol dest and well protected laws which exist in Mesopotamia in 1760 B.C. Among the law collections before this era, the law book of Ur king Ur Namnu (2050 B.C.), Eˋnunna law book (1930 B.C) and the law book of Lipit ˋˋtar from Isin can be counted.The invention of the writing is the most important step to reach the culture to the level of our Era
