The ancient Mesopotamians were one of the earliest civilizations to develop advanced agricultural practices and culinary techniques. While the concept of a lazy Susan may not have been present in ancient Mesopotamian kitchens, they did have practical storage solutions. Tiered shelves made of clay or stone were commonly used to store various kitchen items such as clay pots, cooking utensils, and food ingredients. The tiered design allowed for easy access to all items, making cooking and food preparation more efficient in ancient Mesopotamian kitchens.
