To start the second quarter off in a good way, I thought it would be a good idea to offer some extra credit if you would please help me educate my friend Andy, who is terribly inept when it comes to Mesopotamia knowledge. Luckily, we have been studying Mesopotamia for the last four weeks, so we have plenty of knowledge to share with him. I'm sure Andy is sitting in his dorm room right now at college with absolutely no idea what is going on. We might not be able to help him with his overall life, but at least we can teach him about Mesopotamia.Task: To gain extra credit for Social Studies, educate Andy about Mesopotamia by telling him 5 things about this ancient world. In order to get the extra credit, you must have your comment posted by Midnight on Thursday. Also, to gain extra credit, you MUST tell him 5 things in a list format. (use 1. 2. etc.)

Mesopotamia means land between the rivers
ReplyDeleteThe two rivers are called Tigris and the Euphrates
Cuneiform was the first form of writing
The Epic of Gilgamesh was the first book ever
Mesopotamia was the first civilization
1. Mesopotamia means land between the rivers
ReplyDelete2. Mesopotamia invented the wheel, monney. irrigation. and writing
3.A fertile cresent land is good for farming
4.their writing system was called cuneiform
5.the two major city-states were sumer and akkad
In Mesopotamia the people invented so many things we use today. They had the first writing system called Cuneiform, but it had many problems. The writing was much too complex, so only very few could understand it and be able to read. The only people that could write were specially trained scribes. Instead of using paper which wasn't invented they wrote on clay tablets that later would dry in the hot desert sun.
ReplyDeleteThey also had the first money. Money was invented by the Lydians, who made coins. With money, people could now buy and sell things without trading.
Mesopotamia probably wouldn't be so advanced without the wheel, which was and everyday tool that they needed to pull things from one place to another. When people farmed, they could tie their oxen or cattle to a plow, and then with the wheel they could plow the much, much faster. People would also use carts with wheels to bring things here and there to sell or trade them.
Irrigation was in my opinion the most important because without it, life would be much harder for the people Mesopotamia and even for us. Irrigation is a water system that moves water from one place to another. They would dig large trenches from the Tigris and Euphrates rivers to the farming lands. This is how they managed to grow so many crops in the desert where the only water sources the rivers that weren't easily controlled in the flooding season.
Mesopotamia had still many more inventions besides the ones I listed above, which are often called the Fabulous Four. Things they invented were sailboats and even worship temples called ziggarat. Laws are also an invention of the ancient civilization. The first set of laws was the code of Hammurabi. Some think it was too cruel, and some think it was completely fair.
Mesopotamia has a river called tigers? My schools team name is the tigers!! yeahhh!!
