They invented the chariot. Clumsy, with full wood wheels.
Their city states were heavily involved with trade and had small indutry. (i.e. formal division of labour according to skill. Their cities had such a successful waste disposals system that it drives archeologists crazy. (not much refuse to study). Their trade was far ranging. Their citires occur during the early copper age. Had sophiticated sculpture, art work, and music. There was kingship but a remarkably flat society. (i.e. not much stratification).
