The Sumerians were pioneers of civilization, emerging around 3100 BCE in Mesopotamia, modern-day Iraq. They built some of the world’s first cities, like Uruk and Ur, which became hubs of trade and culture. Inventing the first writing system, cuneiform, they recorded everything from stories to trade records. They excelled in farming, creating advanced irrigation systems, and built towering ziggurats to honor their gods. Their innovations in writing, astronomy, and city-building laid the foundation for future civilizations.

There were over 700 known species of dinosaurs, with new species still being discovered regularly. They ranged from plant-eaters (herbivores) like the massive Brachiosaurus to fierce predators (carnivores) like the T. Rex. Dinosaurs went extinct around 65 million years ago, likely due to a massive asteroid impact that created the Chicxulub Crater in what is now Mexico. This event triggered wildfires, tsunamis, and long-term climate changes.

George Orwell, an English novelist and essayist, is best known for his critiques of totalitarian governments, particularly through his works 1984 and Animal Farm. His depiction of totalitarianism focuses on the absolute control of governments over individuals, often using fear, propaganda, and surveillance to maintain power.In today’s digital age, the level of surveillance by governments and corporations has increased significantly. With tools like facial recognition, phone tracking, and internet monitoring, some argue that these technologies echo Orwell's depiction of invasive state surveillance. The rise of mass data collection by governments in the name of national security, such as through the NSA in the United States, has sparked concerns about privacy and individual freedoms.
