Ancient Sumerian Warfare Techniques

A video that explains Ancient Sumerian warfare techniques.

Sumerian wars featured conflicts between city-states, using bronze weapons, chariots, and siege tactics. The military organisation included professional and levied troops, with a religious aspect seeking divine favour. Control of trade routes and resources was a driving force. Cuneiform writings and epics like Gilgamesh document their early military society.
