Events of Mesopotamia

The civilization of Mesopotamia was shaped by major events. With this blog post, we are going to analyze what some of these major events were and why they were so important to the rise of this civilization. In class, we will be looking at these events even closer as we divide up into groups and conduct a "tournament" of Mesopotamia events. Our tournament will match these events up against one another, creating debate and discussion on which event is more important in not only the rise of Mesopotamia, but in our world today. 




Task: Using the "Events of Mesopotamia Link" I want you to select 6 major events of Mesopotamia and tell me WHAT the event was and WHY that event was important for Mesopotamia. Use COMPLETE sentences. 
The Events: Irrigation, city-state, chariot, money, rise of Kings, bricks, cuneiform, ziggurat, Epic of Gilgamesh, wheel, Code of Hammurabi, Hanging Gardens.
Example Comment:
"Code of Hammurabi: This was a set of laws written down by King Hammurabi. This event was important to the people of Mesopotamia because it brought order and stability to their civilization. It made Mesopotamia safer because the people had to obey the law or face the harsh consequences."
DUE: Friday, October 19. 10:30 p.m.

Irrigation: Irrigation is when you can control when and how much water your crops get. People would starve to death if irrigation hadn't been invented. Farmers would not be able to farm very well.
Chariot: The chariot is a two wheeled cart that is pulled by a horse. The chariot allowed the people of Mesopotamia to be much more mobile.
Code of Hammurabi: The Code of Hammurabi is a set of 282 laws that were written down by Babylonian King Hammurabi. Without these laws the world would be extremely dangerous today. People would steal, kill, and assault.
Rise of Kings: Rise of KIngs is when kings were picked to be rulers of Mesopotamia. The kings told everyone wat they were supposed to be doing. without them, the people had no organization, no structure, and no leader.
Development of Writing System: People invented the first system of writing. Without a writing system nobody would no what the world was like before we came.
The Wheel: The wheel made so many more things possible, like driving very long distances.

I think that it was irragation because with out it the people of mesopataima would have died out do to hunger because the crops could not get enough water to grow so when thay did irragation that made the crops get enough water to survive.

1. Irrigation- It allows farmers to control how mush water their crops got. Without irrigation, the crops would be scorched in the blazing heat of the area.
2. Bricks- This is what the people of Mesopotamia used to develope a new way to construct buildings. Without bricks, we wouldn't have protection and without protection, the people could get attacked by worriors, wild animals, or natural disasters.
3. Chariot- This allowed the people of Mesopotamia to be much more mobile. This allowed the people of Mesopotamia to move around and travel easier and faster.
4. Code of Hammurabi- This is 282 laws that King Hammurabi made. Without law, people would steal, kill, and assult.
5. Ziggurat- A ziggurat is a pyramid shaped building used to worship gods. Without the ziggurat, it would have been much easier for an enemy army to attack the city and destroy it.
6. Rise of Kings- These guys established purpose for the people and led them twards progress. Without leadership, no progress can occur.

My 1 event is the Irrigation. It is important because you would not be able to have fresh food if there was no irrigation. It allowed the farmers to control when and how much water their crops got. without irragation the feilds would produce very little or no food.
My 2 event is Bricks. If we didnt have bricks their would be very little housaes and schools. The peaple would protect themselves from tornadoes and stuff like that.
My 3 event is the wheel. Why the wheel because their would be no cars or carriges for us to ride in and alot of peaple like it better, because then they wont have to walk so far.
My 4 is Money. Why money because if you wanted food at a store you would have to give them one of your things.
My 5 is the ziggurat. It is a pyrimad shaped buliding used to worship gods. This bulding gave the peaple of Mesopotamia a place to worship, Which is a major step towards creating a civilization.
My last but not least is the development of writing.Development of writing system was a major event in not only history of Mesopotama, but in the history of the world.

Irrigation:irrigation allowed the farmers to control when and how much water their crops got on their feilds Chariot: The chariot is a two wheeled cart that is pulled by a horse. This allowed the people of Mesopotamia to move around and travel much easier and faster at once. Ziggurat: A ziggurat is a pyramid shaped building used to worship the gods. another event is Rise of Kings: A King, or a leader, is needed to unite the people. As a bunch of individuals, nothing is accomplished, but as one, great things can happen. The kings of Mesopotamia gave the people direction. Epic of Gilgamesh:With the Epic of Gilgamesh and the creation of books, the people of Mesopotamia were able to tell stories, record history, and set the world on a path of reading and learning. A civilization can not grow if there is no reading and learning. The epic of gilmesh was the first book. Bricks: They used bricks. To make these bricks, the people used mud and straw. They would mix these two ingredients together and let them dry in the scorching sun. This would produce a very hard, durable brick. As a result of this invention, the people were able to build buildings.

My 6 events that I think taht are important are:

Irrigation- Irrigation was an extrimley important in Mesopotamia. It allowed farmers to control how muck water to give to the crops.

The Wheel- the wheel made so many things that were posible in mesopotamia. If you has a hudge thing full of wheat that would be difficult if you didn't have the wheel.

Bricks- The mesopotamia people invented a new way too make buildings. They used mud snd straw. they mixed it and let it dry in the sky.

Ziggurot- the ziggurot was a hudge jump in histery. this is were they worshiped the gods that they belived in.

Th Writing System- This was a hudge jump in the mesopotamia histery not just in mesopotamisa but in the whole world.

City-State- this was a totle game challenge in the whole world. in the stone age they just migratted, and then the city-stat of mesopotamisa came around and that all changed.

4CierrahT said...

Irrigation:Controll of how much and when something gets its water: Without irrigation crops wouldn't hardly get any water at all.

Bricks: They used bricks to make their buildings: Bricks would help them make their building so they had a place to live.

Chariot: A chariot is like a cart, that will take someone place to place a lot faster than walking: They used it to travel from one place to another faster.

Money: They used it to buy stuff they needed like food: They would either pay money or trade items to get the stuff they wanted.

The Wheel: It allowed them to transport their crops using the wheels: They used it for the things such as the chariot so it could move without it being dragged.

Ziggurat: A pyrmid shaped building: Used to worship gods.








9JordynnS said...

i think IRRIGATION was important. it was important to the mesopotamians because it controlled how much water they got so if they needed it they could get it. i think the WHEEL was important to the mesopotamians because without it they wouldnt have a chariot to travel. I think the CHARIOT was important to the mesopotamians so they could travel faster. I think BRICKS were important to them so they could build houses and stuff like that. I think the ZIGGURAT was important to them so they had a place to worship the gods they believed in. I think the RISE OF CITY STATES was important to them so they didnt have to wander around the earth hoping to find animals to hunt.

9SydneyR said...

Irrigation: The ability that farmers were to control when and how much water the crops got. Irrigation was important because it helped the farmers grow food. Since they could control it the crops didn't die of thirst and the people didn't starve.

Irrigation: This is how farmers controlled how much waters their crops got. Without this the crops would perish under the blazing heat. Bricks: This was important because they were able to protect themselves now. If they didn't to invent this then they would have no safe place to store stuff.

the bricks were inportant to meso because it protected the people so they woudn't get attacked by warriors,wild animals,or natural disasters. the chariot is inportant because people were able to get places faster.without a ziggurat it would have ben easier for an enemy army to attack the city and destroy it.the rise of the kings are inpornant because progress would not have been made in farming,writing,religieon,or building.money was inportant because it allows people to create the life that they wanted.the rise of city states was inportant because inventions of mesopatamia would not have ben possible.

A Ziggurat: Is a pyramid shaped building used to worship the gods.This building gave the people of Mesopotamia a place to worship, which was a major step towards creating a civilization.

The wheel it allowed the people to transport their crops using the wheels.Which meant it was a lot easier to get the crops to the storage bins and into the towns.Irrigation is important but with no wheels all the crops will go to waste.

The Chariot: Is a two wheeled cart that is pulled by a horse.The chariot allowed the people of Mesopotamia to be much more mobile.Ziggurats are big and cool, but if it takes people 2 days to get there.WIth the chariot, people are able to get places much faster and do more things.

Bricks are things made out of mud and straw.As a result of this invention, the people were able to build buildings that were very strong. Without this protection, they could get attacked by warriors, wild animals, or natural disasters.

colesiegfried3 said...

Irrigation is a great invention because you can control it. You can control how much the crops get. Without irrigation you would die. They control it by using sandbags and making a brirrer. You can use a wheel to get the crops back and fronth so people could live. Mesopatamia is located in the blazeing heat so they needed alot of water.

3brads said...

I think that irragation is the best. Because you can control the crops. And how much they water they get. And they but sand bags around it so it is protected. And they alow the river to go threw. So they can eat.

per8willr said...

bricks becaues brickes can protect food from super bad super strong storms.

Bricks. They used them to build buildings. It helped because they were now protected and didnt have to worry about the weather as much.

Chariot. It allowed the people of mesopotamia to travel quicker. It was important because they got to spend less time travleing and do more important things.

Ziggurnaut. Its a pyramid shaped building that allowed the people to worship the gods. It was important because it was a symbol for the gods that they were important.

irragation-irragation allowedfarmers to control when and how much water there crops got.

4 tatiana q said...

Irragation - is importanat beacuse whith out it we would all die irragation means the people(farmers) were able to control the water that got to the crops

Bricks is very important beacuse thats what they used to make the hanging gardens and ziggurats bricks are made out of mud and starw

Chaoriot was also importatnt beacuse thats what they used to transport things to other places

Ziggurat is a temple or building that they worshipd gods and goddeses in.

wheels are impotant beacuse without wheels it would be a one hundred times harder to travel

I think city-state is important beacuse with out it we would not have the inventios we have today beacuse city-state made us help each other and get things done faster whith out it we would all be weak.

Irrigation:
Irrigation was crucial to the survival of Mesopatamia (do I have to caps it?) it allowed them to get water from the Euraphrates (or Tigris) river and water there crops

Chariot: Walking to places was so long thats why the chariot was invented it allowed them to be more mobile it had 2 wheels and was pulled by a horse

Money: Today money is used as the main currency of the world it is used to purchase goods

Wheel: this changed how everything worked without it the chariot would not work and you would have to carry items to and fro

Bricks:
Today bricks are still used to construct buildings across the world but orrigannally they were made of straw and mud now they are made of stone or ciment I believe

Code of Hammurabi:
The king of Babylon Hammurabi (at first it thought (and I still like to say) ham-urabi) It was a set of laws it is a good thing that this happened other wise the world would be in flames!!

code of Hammurabi-this was a set of 282 laws people had to obey them or face consequences.

bricks-it's what people used to make buildings out of.They're mad of dried mud.

cunieuform-Their writing system.Without it we whould have no record of the past.

Money-It's what people use to buy stuff.It's important because it what was used to buy things instead of trading and running out of things.

the wheel-A round thing to get to places.Without it people couldn't get to places fast so the food could spoil.

rise of city-states-was where people lived. People would work together to make things making a lot of progress.

Tylers said...

Irragation it's where people can control the amount of water that crops are getting. It was important because if the wate didn't flood oce the soil wouldnt be fertile but if it did and ruined the crops they would most likely die of starvation or disease.


Rise of kings it was when the kings came up and made decisions. If they woulden't of come up they wouldn't have an organized method of writing, building, farming, and law.


Ziggurat it was a building made for worshiping gods. If there was never a ziggurat there would be no place to worship and that's a big part in creating a civilization.


Hanging gardens it was a garden built by Nebacnezzer for his wife.it was important to make a queen feel at home so he made it to make his wife at home.


City-State it was a big group of people who had a permanant home. It was important becasue the could rely one more than just animals because thats wat they relied on most.


Bricks it is a block of mud water and sticks used for building. It was important because it made homes for people gaurded crops from animals and was used for almost all buildings.

Irragation was extremly important because they needed it for living and for food for survival.

Bricks was for building the buildings in Mesopatamia so they would have a home.

Chariot the chariot allwowed the people to be much more mobile.

Code of Hammurabi is one of the most important the code of Hammibri is a set of 282 laws.

Rise of Kings never before in the world were there Kings until Mesopotamis rose.

Devolempt of writing without question there was no writing

One thing is money. Money is how the people in the city states bought the things they needed
another things is the rise of kings the kings were the people that made the laws. aonther is irrigation is how people know how much to feed the crops without irrigation people would die.another is cuniform this is the fist writing system. another is bricks bricks are what people built there house out of.

Irrigation - It hlps you control how much water your crops got. It made our crops better so we didnt starve.

Money - Something you use to buy things. Without this no one would work and we would become extinct from jobs not getting done that need to be.

Bricks - Big dried rectangular clay, with straw in it. It was used to make buildings, The hanging gardens, and a Ziggurat.

Cuneform - It is the writing system of Mesopotamia. It was used to write Epic of Gilgamesh and laws. It was the main reason why we write today.

Epic of Gilgamesh - The first book ever written. It enspired people 4,000 years ago to write more books and over the years we have made books better.

Code of Hammurabi - It is a set of over 282 Laws written by King Hammurabi. Without laws this world would not be civilized. We would run around sceaming,"die people I really dont like" and shot them a million times.

irriagation-controled when how much water their crops got. Without irrigation the crops would die in the blazing heat of the area. Irrigation allowed people of Mesopotamia to control flooding. Money wouldn't matter, if there's no crops, people die.
Bricks- were made for buildings. They were made out of mud and straw. Then they would let them dry in the scorching sun. it was also to protect themselves.
Chariots- made the people of Mesopotamia more mobile. This event was a huge step to making a civilization.Plus it helped them move from place to place.
-Code of Hammurabi. Just to start of, what would it be like to have no laws. You might be thinking "Yes!" but think hoe dangerous that would be. Back to the Code of Hammurabi there were 282 laws written by king Hammurabi.
-Ziggurat.A ziggurat is a huge think in Mesopotamia because that is where they worshiped. Also in battle they could see their enemy. They believed the most powerful gods was in they sky.
Writing System- ok, just think about if we didn't have a writing system. if not i wouldn't be writing this.Also no books or anything that has to do with writhing. Plus if it wasn't for a writhing system there wouldn't be the Code of Hammurabi.

Irragation:Without it there would be no crops and if there were no crops there was no food so everybody would be dead in a matter of days.
Bricks: Meso people created a new way to build by developing brick and bricks are important because without it no one would have a home.
money: It's important because people didn't want to trade everything they had just to get something.
Wheel: it devoloped a new transpertation way.
Cuneiform: without writting archeologists would have to dig up even more artifacts and we would not have made all the stuff we have today.
Code of Hamm.: a set of laws that kept people in order.

3 McKenna G said...

Bricks bricks were used to buil houses in mesopotamia. They were a really could product because they could construct them by hand to make these bricks, the people used mud and straw. They would mix these two ingredients together and let them dry in the scorching sun.

Chariot the chariot was really important because it made traveling faster oan it would be a lot more usefull in a war.

Code of Hammurabi was important because they were the laws of the land and without these laws there would be no rules and people could do anything they wanted to do and they would probably target the rich.

Money is important because if we didnt have money we would not be able to live the life style we want because it would cost money well probable not because then we would figure out something else to have in stead but any way we wouldnt be able to buy anything because we would not have any money.

Irragation I think is the most impaotant because if we didnt have irrigation we would not have very many fresh food and we would probably have no food at all, what they did for irrrigation is they dug ditches in the sand that controlled how much water got to the plants so they would not get flooded out.

The Wheel I think they wheel is impaortant because if we didnt have wheels we would have to walk places like if we wanted to go to sioux falls instead of only 20 minutes it would probaley take 2 to 3 hours if that and it makes transporting things easier like a wheel barrow.

4jazmynl said...

Irragation- allowed when and how much water the crop get. Meso. was in the dessert so there werent really any other food sorce and there wasnt really any water.

Code of Hammurabi-a set of 282 laws.The civilization needed laws other wise Meso. would be a dangerous place.

Rise of Kings-A king is a leader. the king would allow certain things to happen so there wouldnt be anything bad going on.

Writing System- Learned how to write. With out this there wouldnt be ant records and it allowed people to develop a complex and organized civilization.

Epic of Gilgamesh-First book written. Peopleof Meso. could tell stories, record history,and it set the world on a path of reading and learning.

The Wheel-a ting thats go round haha! Easier for farmeres to transport crops to barrels and let it spoil so easy.



9Brody O said...

The code of hammurabi is a seires of rules made by king Hammurabi peole must obey the rules or be punished. It is important because if they didn't have any rules people would steal stuff with out consequnce.

Irragation is what farmes used to control when and how much water the plants get. People dug ditches to where they wanted the water to go. They had sand bags to block the water when ther didn't need it. Irrigation is important because if you didn't have irrigation the crops would die then the people would die of starvation.

Bricks are an object that helps us build thing they were made out of mud and straw. they are also called sun dried bricks. they are important because wiht out them we would more than likely be cold.

The ziggurat is a pyrimid like building that is used for worship. the ziggurat is important because it is a quiet place to worship the gods.

Money is a system to buy stuff that you don't have. most people in mesopotamia just traded stuff so I don't think money was very important back then.

the wheel is a round thing that helps get us from place to place. I think that the wheel is important becauce it makes life easyer.

9amanda w said...

Irrigation: It allowed farmers to control when and how much water crops get. This was important to Mesopotamia because Mesopotamia was located in a desert so they didn't get much water.

Bricks: It allowed people to build building. It is important to Mesopotamia because they didn't have very good building to protect them from the heat.

Chariot: It was a two wheeled cart pulled by a horse. It was important to Mesopotamia because it allowed them to move around faster and easier.

Ziggurat: It is a pyramid shaped building used to worship the gods. It is important to Mesopotamia because it gave the people of Mesopotamia a place to worship.

Money: It is a system to get what they lacked. It was important to Mesopotamia because before money you had to give up something to eat and buy things.

The wheel: A rond wooden thing used to move crops. It is important to Mesopotamia because it allowed people to transport their crops.

9sarah k said...

I did irrigation. Irrigation controls how much water you crops get. It helped them because when the Tigris and the Euphrates river would overflow irrigation would help the water from ruining the crops.

I also did Code of Hammurabi. The Code of Hammurabi is a set of 282 laws that were written by Babylonian king Hammurabi. It would help them because they would have to obey laws and face consequences.

Another thing i did was the Ziggurat. The Ziggurat is a pyramid shaped building used to worship gods. It gave the mesopotamia people a place to worship and took a major step into civilization.

Also I did the Development of Writing. It was a major event not only in Mesopotamia but the world. It helped archaeologists study what happened in Mesopotamia.

Another thing i did was the the wheel. It was something they would help use to transport stuff. It would also help farmers transport their crops.

The last the thing i did was the Hanging Gardens. It is a garden built for the queen. King Nebuchadnezzar built this for his wife to have a private terraced garden to enjoy.

4sydney6 said...

Bricks are most important because with out we cant have shelter or any place to get out of the heat, wind, and sand.
Cuneiform is important because you with out you have to get by on grunts and hand motion.
Wheel is also important because with out you cant get around.
Chariot is important because you need a veical to get around.
Money is also important because it was easy to get aposed to objects.
Irrigation is important because with out you cant farm.

3 sean frearson said...

the rise of kings: it was important because. if there wasn't a king the laws wouldn't be enforced therefore people would do whatever they wanted.

the epic of Gilgamesh this was the first book ever writen. it helped us learn about how Mesopotamia was long ago.

the ziggurat: this was very important for the people of Mesopotamia. because they had somewhere to worship,and find a new king.

bricks: the people of Mesopotamia needed this to build their houses. these were also needed to build storage sheds for their crops.

code of Hammurabi: the code of Hammurabi was very important because it was a set of laws that people needed to follow so they don't have a punishment by execution.

chariot: this was needed mainly for farmers who needed to get their crops back to the storage shed before they died.

IRRIGATION:TO WATER CROPS HOW YOU WANT WHEN YOU WANT.I THINK IRRIGATION IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE WITHOUT IRRIGATION YOU WOULDNT HAVE CROPS AND YOU NEED WATER TO SURVIVE.CITY-STATE:A LARGE OR IMPORTANT TOWN OR STATE.I THINK A CITY-STATE IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE YOU NEED TO HAVE SOME WHERE TO LIVE.CHARIOT:A WHEELWD CART PULLED BY A HORSE. I THINK A CHARIOT IS IMPRTANT BECAUSE WITH THIS TOOL YOU WOULD WALK FOR HOURS AND WITH THISTOOL YOU CAN GET CROPS AROUND BEFORE THEY SPOIL.MONEY:A GREEN PIECE OF PAPER OR A CIRCULAR COIN THAT IS USED TO BUY.MONEY IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE PEOPLE IN Mesopatamia didnt hsve sny thing to trade.brick:a piece of dried up clayish piece of mud.bricks are important because you need bricks to build such as houses,ziggurats,kingdoms,and dungeons.cuneiform:a type of writng in mesopatamia.cuneform is important cause if we didnt have it we would not be able to write or read.Zigguray:a ziggurat is a big kingdom made of brick to worship.i think that zuggurats are important because you can get closer to gods you want to worship.epic of gilgemesh:the first book ever writin in the world .ts important because if that book was not invented we wouldnt know what a book was.wheel:a circular shape that rolls on the bottom of something like a chariot.i think its important because we would have to walkeverywere and would not have cars today.code of hammurabi:a knife made up by the king.i think its important becausewhen you need to protect your self with it.hanging garden:a garden that worships the queen. i think its important because it makes the queen feel good about herrself.

6kateh said...

First is irrigation, without irrigation there will be no water for the plants, and we will die. Money, becuse today we will trade evry thing if we did not have money. Weel becuse with out it, are cars will not move and possibly not even get invented.Now chariot, chariots are the cars of the past.Bricks are the materials they used to build houses.Last we have ziggurat, ziggurat is ware Mesopotamia people wership the gods.

6danielles said...

I think that irrigation bricks chariot code of hammurabi ziggurat and the Wheel are important. irragation is how they would grow food and contral water.And the bricks were important because the would build houses out of them to protect them when harsh weatheer came. the chariot would make thing go faste and to transfer thing easly. A ziggerate is an immportat because it were people can do religens. And the code of hummbia is very immportant that was making it so people could not kill steal and go crazy. and the wheel made transportation go really fast.

8CadenR said...

Irrigation: Was a major part of Mesopatamia because they were in the desert and they could not get wayer to their crops.

Code of Hammurabi: Without laws everyone would be killing,robbing, ect.

Chariot: This allowed people to move faster.Without it the crops would die because they could not get the crops to bins quicker therefor killing the crops.

Writing: Without this how would we keep our records or teach.(We would be just as bad as the Stone Age.)

Ziggurat: This is what the people believed that this was a place of sancuary,where they worshiped.

The rise of kings:Without kings they would not have been able to keep laws for the king made the law.

9 Rachel D. said...

1. Irrigation: This is the way that people watered the crops. It was important because this is what ket the crops (and the people) alive. Before irrigation the crops would ether get too much, or not enough water.

2. Bricks: the bricks were made of mod and straw. They use bricks for the important matter of building houses and buildings. With bricks the poeple of Mesopotamia had protection.

3. The Code of Hammurabi: It is a set of 282 laws for the people of Mesopotamia. It was super important because without laws it would be chaos. People would always be sealing stuff and hurting each other.

4. Ziggurat: It was a huge, tall building that people gathered in. A ziggurat was a place where people went to worsheph. It was also used for pretection.

5. Development of a Writing System: The writing system that the people of Mesopotamia was Cuneiform. This was important because without it we would have no records or information from this time period.

6. Hanging gardens: The Hanging Gardens were said to be 400 feet wide and 400 feet long and 80 feet high. King Nebuchadnzzar built it for the queen, his wife. It was t make her feel less homesick.

6 Allison R. said...

I think, "irrigation", irrigation is the amount of water being tansfered to the crops. This event is important because the crops fed people and without irrigation, you may die. "Ziggurat", a ziggurat is a place built to worship gods. This event is important because, it can be used to watch for enemies or armies trying to attack them. "chariot", a chariot is what they used to haul things around and to get to places. This event is important because, it helps to get places faster and saves people time. "Bricks", bricks are mud placed inbetween the stones to make bricks. This event is important because, they use the bricks to make houses, it makes the houses safe and sturdy. "Wheel", the wheel is attached to the carriot, and they charriot carries things around. This event is important because it hauls crops around and makes it easier to travel and to get work done. "Development of writing system" the writing system helps archaeologists study the artifacts from the past. It's really helpful otherwise we woundn't know anything from the past. This event is important because then the people of Mesopotamia develope a complex and organized civilization.

9 Andrew R said...

Cuneiform: the Mesopotamia form of writing. It was the first writen language.

Ziggurat: where people of Mesopotamia worshiped gods. It gave people the freedom of religion.

Irrigation: how people in Mesopotamia water their crops. This helped have more food for the year.

Wheel: a cirlular device used to move things. This was used on karts to move in the harvested crops.

Rise of Kings: The rise of kings is important because without the rise of kings no progress would not have been made and most things wouldnt have been invented. Everyone would only be worrying about survivel.
Irrigation: Irrigation is being able to control how much water the crops would get. They would dig ditches from the river to crops so during the drout they could open it up so the crop get water.
Code of Hammurabi: The code of hammurabi is the set of laws written by king hammurabi. The laws controled the people so it wasnt so crazy. The laws were very harsh if not obeyed.
Develofment of writing: It is pretty much just writing. Without writing we wouldnt have a way of recording things. Well we might but it would be way more confusing.

6DrewS said...

Code of Hammurabi,All of the writing was writen down by the King of Hammurabi. It was important cause all the people in Mesopatamia it brought order and stability to there civilization.
Irragation was important cause we needed crops watered to survive. Brick helps us to build houses to keep save. We use chareiots to help us get to another place to another. Money was important so we can by food to also survive. Wheel helps us move around, we also need it for the chariot so we can move again.
















6dykstra z said...

A two wheeled cart pulled by a horse is a Chariot. This was important to the people because it made them go faster to places. Bricks are to build strong houses for people. They are much more important instead of money because you can make bricks. The wheel is the spinning thing on your charoits. It allows you to go anywhere your going.

6EmilyE said...

Irrigation helped the people control when and where they wanted the water to go. Bricks helped the mesopotamians build strong and sturdy buildings. Cuneiform helped by letting the people communicate. The Cod of Hammurabi helped the people be safer and in less danger.
Ziggurat's let the people have a place to worship the gods. The wheel helped the people with transportation which soon invented the chariot.

6 Mallory P. said...

Irragation was a very important part of the mesopatamia people many people died of starvation everyday because the was no food!!!
Bricks were needed as well because they helped people from getting robed or to store thier food.
Code of Hammurabi was laws that were written out and were inforced by the kings.
rise of kings were needed because without them people wouldnt follow the laaws because there would be know one to inforce them and they wouldnt get into trouble.
ziiguart was a place to worship gods and to have freedom of what you believe.
cunnieform was a system of writing and without that no one would have proof of what they did.

I think the six most important inventions from Messopotamia are these.

Wheel-Without it there would be no way to transport things and people. There would be no car, airplane, bike, or motorcycle.

Irrigation-Without it there would be no way to control how much water our crops get.

Code of Hammurbi- With out it there would be no laws and people would go crazy.

Bricks- Without them our houses and buildings would not be as strong and could be easily damaged.

City-State-Without it we would not have formed our states and cities and would not have some of our own laws.

Epic of Gilgamesh- Without it we would not have started writing books.

8Nevaeh M said...

Irrigation is my first event. I know this was important because we would die because irrigation was when the crops would get almost a perfect amount. The second event is cuneiform. Cuneiform is the first form of writing in Mespotamia. The third event is the wheel. The wheel is a round shaped object that can spin and was used on chariots. The fourth event was a ziggurat. The ziggurat is a very, very tall building used to worship the gods. The fifth event is the hanging gardens. The hanging garden is a garden that gives the mespotanians hope or creativity. BTW, it was used for the king's wife. The sixth event is Epic of Gilgamesh was the first book made in mespotamia.

Irrigation: is important because without irrigation crops wouldnt get planted and there would be no water.
Code of Hammurabi:without the code of hammurabi there would be no laws everyone would just do whatever they liked and everything would be all over the place.
Rise of Kings: without kings no one would no what to do and there wouldnt be any city states because no body would have told people to form one.
Ziggurat:ziggurats are important because without them people wouldnt have somewhere to worship who they want and they wouldnt know what was coming because the gods wouldnt have told them.

9DylanK said...

irrigation was very imporant to surive the harsh conditions of Mesosopotamia.

Bricks were in my case the most important because it was used to build almost everything back then and was used to write on

developmemt of writing system was important to keep records of earlier times and such

money was and is important to make a easier was to bye and sell goods so you dont have to give up to get

wheel was important to make travling easier

rise of kings was important to make everything more orrganied

Irragation allowed farmers to control how much water there crops get. without irrigation every body would die of starveation. Bricks bricks are mostly made out of staaw and mud. without bricks there would mot be any houses or protection for the people. charoit the charoit is a wheeled cart pulled by a horse. Without a charoit people would not be able to travle fast. code of hammurabi the code of hammurabi is a set of 282 laws. without the code of hammurabi people would go around an kill each other. Cuneiform cuneiform is a writing system. without cuneiform there would be no books. City-states City-states are when a bunch of people working together and work together to make invetions. Without City-states there would not be great inventions like the wheel.

9Eric D said...

1. Irrigation is one the most important events because it can allow people of Mesopotamia to control the flow of water to and from their crops. Without this people of Mesopotamia would starve without good food that irrigation allows crops to be.
2. Bricks are also important allowing people to live in safe structures. Bricks are made out of sturdy mud and straw. Without these strong structures of bricks people could get attacked by animals or natural disasters.
3. I think a chariot is important as well. People of Mesopotamia had irrigation to make crops. If the farms were far away from the city-state people would have to carry all the crops back and forth. With a chariot people could take it all in one load. Without a quick way to the storage bins most of the crops would go to waste.
4. The Wheel: The wheel changed how people of Mesopotamia Carried or moved things. It allowed people to transport crops from the farm back to the city. This made traveling a lot easier for the people of Mesopotamia.
5. Code of Hammurabi: the Code of Hammurabi is very important because without these 282 laws people would have no consequence in what they did. The World would be insane without this.
6. Ziggurat: A Ziggurat is a place where people of Mesopotamia used to worship the gods they believed in. They built it very high to be as close as they could to the sky because the main god that they believed in was believed to be in the sky.

4tellinghuisen said...

a Ziggurat is the place people went to worship gods. This was important to the people because it gave them a place to worship. without the Ziggurat it would be easier for the enemy to advance.

The wheel is a round thing that made travel alot easier. It was important because it made so many more things possible. The wheel totaly changed how people lived.

Money was a system of value that people got what they lacked with. It is important because trading got to the point where you couldn't trade anything and thats when money stepped in. It helped poor people who had nothing to give up but money.

Bricks were what they used to build buildings. It is important because they had nothing to build buildings with but bricks. It helped people by giving them something to build there houses with.

A Chariot is a two wheeled cart pulled by a horse. It is important because it made travel a lot easier. it helped people by making them much more mobile.

Irregation is a system that you could controle how much water your crops get. It is important because it made them get a lot more crops. It helped people not starve.

8Blaine .S said...

Irrigation: Is when you can determan how munch water gets to the crops. be couse if they did get water or they got a lot of water all the crops will die

City State: Is where people live in a nice soicty
All the people live in the soicty and they all vote what gose on not just one person

Code of Hammirabi: where the king hammirabi mad a bunch of laws.
So if there where no laws people would kill and they cant get in trouble

Wheel: A thing that roles around and it make travoing easer
If they dident have a will we would ent have cars and stuff so we would have to walk every ware

Epic of Gilgamesh: The first book ever made of found.
If the book dident exist we proply wouldent have any books.

Money: It is a thing that you can use to buy stuff in sted of traid stuff.
If you dident have money how could you buy things and if there where not money you couldent traid for it couse you can buy stuff.

8ruthk said...

Irrigation: It is controlling when and how much water crops get. It is important because a lot more people didn't starve.

Bricks: It is mud and straw mixed together and made into a rectangle shape. It helped build houses and protect people.

Wheel: It is a circle shape. It helps with transportation.

Code of Hammurabi: It is the laws. Without it things would be ruined.

Chariot: It is a cart or wagon pulled by horses. It helps people get to places faster.

1. Irrigation- allowed farmers to control when and how much water their crops got. Irrigation was important because it created fertile soil for the crops to grow.
2. Bricks-square shaped object made up of mud and straw. Bricks were important because they were used to build houses and ziggurats. Without bricks, nobody would have a safe place to stay.
3. Chariot- two wheeled cart that is pulled by a horse. This allowed people a form of transportation.
4. Ziggurat- pyramid-shaped building used to worship the Gods. It was used as a watch-tower against enemy forces and it's height brought the people closer to the Gods of the sky.
5. Money- used as a means buying needed materils instead of bartering. It gave people buying power without having to give up other needed items.
6. The Wheel- it was an invention that allowed for the advancement of technology and civilization.

I think irrigation because without it the people would die because pf starvation.

The Ziggurat: It is a pyramid shaped building used to worship the gods. It is a symbolic structure with a lasting impression for people of Mesopotamia. It was always the largest building so was used as a watch tower too.
Rise of kings: People had no leadership until Mesopotamia had kings. These kings took control and helped progress civilization. Great things happen when people unite.
Money: People started to use money to get what they lacked. Trading was only way to get something before Mesopotamia. Instead of giving up something, people could just buy it now. Money was a great invention because it is still very important today.

Irrigation allowed farmers to controll how much water the crops got. I think it was important because people would starve to death.

Code of hammurabi its a set of laws that were made by king Hammuabi. Its would be a crisis if there was no laws.

Rise of Kings before kings there was no structure no organization or leader. If there was no kings nobody would get anything done.

the Wheel help transport things. It was eaisier to move things from one place to the other.

Chariot it allowed people to be more mobile. They can haul crops from one place to the other.

Ziggurat used to worship the gods. It was to show the importance in their belifs.

Irrigation- How you can control when and how much water the crops get.It was important to Mesopotamia cause the crops get to be fed and taken care of so that the people won't starve.

Bricks- Helps people be safe and sound from storms and other stuff like that. The bricks were made out of mud and straw. They were bricks helped people make buildings and homes for the people.

Code of Hammurabi- It has 282 laws written be the Babylonian King Hammurabi.This was very important to Mesopotamia cause without it there would be no laws so people would be crazy!

Money- Before money was invented there was a system called trading and the people liked it but then they started to want more then what they had so the used money. Money is important cause they wouldn't have to give something of theirs away to get something else.

Wheel- To get somewhere or a form of transportion to somewhere. It is very important cause that way they can get from place to place.

Cuneiform- Was the way to communicate from person to person. It is very important cause money wouldn't be able to be invented.

Irrigation
bricks
Ziggurat
money
wheel
city-states

Irrigation: Irrigation allowed farmers to control when and how much water they get to the crops. when snow melts in the north from the mountains of anatolia tigris and euphrates would over flow. the flood made fertile land to plant crops.


Bricks:bricks are made out of mud and straw dried makes bricks. without bricks we would not have a good place to stay or a safe place to stay.

Ziggurat: the Ziggurat is a building where they worship gods and goddesses. Its like churches that we have today. they built them high because they thought the highest they were the closest they were to there gods and goddesses.

Money: at first in mesopatamia the ways to get things was by trading but people started wanting things without having to trade things. the first type of money was made by the lydians during the mesopatamia. money is very important.

Wheel: Wheels are very important we use them every day. they were made to carry things around more fast. and to travel there would be no chariots without wheels. wheels are very important.

City-state: this was a big change for the people. when they started having city-states the civilization really started to grow and prosper. after this people didnt have to wonder around the world to find animals to hunt for food. in the city-states everybody worked together and they all had a different roll some were priests some people were herders some people are farmers. without city-states we would all just be wondering around the world looking for food.
