Sumerian drainage system was way better than some of modern day ones.

In the 1920s, Leonard Woolley, a British archaeologist, led a series of excavations at Ur, a city that held great significance in the history of Mesopotamia. As Woolley and his team carefully unearthed the remnants of this ancient civilization, they made a remarkable discovery beneath the city streets – a network of remarkably well-preserved 4,000 year old drains.

These ancient drains were not just ordinary channels for wastewater; they represented an advanced system of urban infrastructure that demonstrated the Sumerians' impressive engineering and architectural capabilities. The careful construction and maintenance of these drains provided a glimpse into the high level of sophistication achieved by the ancient society of Ur.

By meticulously documenting and studying these drains, Woolley was able to offer valuable insights into the daily life and urban planning of the Sumerians. The presence of such an advanced drainage system indicated the Sumerians' understanding of sanitation and public health, as well as their mastery of water management techniques.
