“There is a house. One enters it blind and comes out seeing. What is it?” Answer: A school. The ancient civilization of Sumer introduced the world to a number of different things, including irrigation, writing, and the idea of laws. With a society dating as far back as 4000 B.C., they were also responsible for one of the earliest examples of a riddle, said to have been written down almost 4,000 years ago. It was first translated by E.I. Gordon in 1960 and is a great example of Sumerian culture and their views on life. There are two versions but the shorter, and more poetic, reads: “There is a house. One enters it blind and comes out seeing. What is it?” Answer: A school. listverse/2013/10/27/top-10-intriguing-riddles-from-history/
