Bricks: Bricks changed how people built their houses. It chanded it because instead of straw, mud, or sticks they used bricks. This is important because the brick made it more sturdy and that the wind couldnt knock it down.
ReplyDeleteIrrigation: Farming was important to the Mesopotamians but with the dry weather, their crops died out. this was solved by irrigation or controlling when and how much water the crops got.
ReplyDeleteThe Wheel: the wheel greatly improved the way the Mesopotamians lived and worked. It allowed them to transport things like crops easier.
Chariot: The chariot let people travel without riding on a horse or mule and they could transport goods much easier.
Brick: The brick improved the Mesopotamians' buidings because they held up better and it made it easier to build civilizations. Without bricks, The Hanging Gardens couldn't have been built.
Development of Writing System: If the Mesopotamians wouldn't have invented a writing system, we simply would have to guess about what happened at that time period and possibly other time periods too.
BRICKS: These bricks are made out of mud and straw, then they would mix these ingredients together and let them dry in the sun. They are used to make houses and barns also other buildings stronger from storms and robbers. They prevent leaks and breaks. It is harder for enemies to get in and destroy the place.
ReplyDeleteRISE OF KINGS: Before Mesopotamia their was no leader or structure. With a leader they could help them progress. Otherwise people would argue over money, laws,ect. It was all for the king.
DEVELOPMENT OF WRITING SYSTEM: Without writing there were no records and archaeologists had to study artifacts and guess about what happened. With writing people could learn and communicate. Also records were taken so that we can find out about Mesopotamia and we don't have to guess about the past.
MONEY: before money people had to trade to get something they wanted. So its like you want to get a pair of shoes you had to give up something you had. What if you did not want to give up something and you wanted something really bad then to bad you just have to give up something to get that thing or just not get the thing you want. First stages of money was developed by the Lydians during the days of Mesopotamia. So with money you do not have to trade anything you have you just get what you want if you have the money.

Money: money is important to this ancient civilization because with no money everything is free! How would people make a profit.money makes everyone HAPPY
ReplyDeleteI think the wheel is more important than a lot of stuff. For example, the charriot is cool but it wouldn't work without the wheel and couldn't get places quick enough if you didn't have a wheel.
ReplyDeleteThe charriot is important because it is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much faster to get places.
The brick is important beacuse it can protect you from weather or animals or warriors and all you need is water and dried mud.
Irrigation is important beacuse when you are in a desert you cant wait for rain, you need to be able to control the amount of water you crops get.
Money is very important beacuse you were in a civilized area with stuff that costs money. You NEED money to get stuff.
Irrigation- irrigation was invented because Mesopotamia was located in a desert and got very hot. They needed to water there plants but also keep water for themselves. So they did irrigation which means so limit the amount of water to the crops but let them stay alive.
ReplyDeleteBricks- Mesopotamia people invented bricks which helped them out a lot. they first had to make there bricks out of mud and straw then mix together and form it right and then set it out to dry. After the bricks were dry the Mesopotamian people were able to construct buildings and stay warmer or cooler.
Ziggurat- A ziggurat is a place where the Mesopotamian people worship gods. The building is like a pyramid but a little bit different shaped. The ziggurat was very tall because they thought the most important god was in the sky, so they built it very tall. Because this building was so tall they could see enemies coming from a long ways and get prepared much faster.
Money- Money was pretty huge back then because the Mesopotamian people did not have to trade there most favorite items. with money the Mesopotamian people were able to pay for things without having to trade. This was a great success with Mesopotamia.
Chariot- This was another huge thing for the Mesopotamian people. This allowed them to move from place to place in a faster way. The chart had two wheels and was normally pulled by a strong horse. because of this discovery it helped them get items faster, ,farther and just kept them on time.

The Wheel: The wheel made so much more possible. First it helped by transporting crops. It made traveling much easier. Without it we wouldn't have wheels today.
Epic of Gilgamesh: This book was the start of all books. It was great for story telling. We wouldn't have school, I mean that we use books all the time in school.
Money: Money is a big deal these days and back than. Befor money was evented we had to trade, can u belive that? Trade something just to eat, and if u had nothing to trade you would starve.

Ziggurat: Ziggurats were important because thats where people worshipped. It was a symbol for people to believe in. Finally it was a watch tower so if an enemy was coming then they probably would lose. They would lose because no one would see it coming until they got close.
Bricks were important to the people of Mesopatamia because: now they could make houses that will stay built and not fall over during a rain storm. It could also protect them from animals, warriors, and natural disasters.
ReplyDeleteMoney was invented so that that people could buy things but they had to work to get the money. And because trading was a big thing.
The wheel was a great invention because if there was no wheel everyone would walk every where, and if you needed to get to a far place it might have taken you days. So the wheel was a good invention because now people have easier ways to get around.
The Chariot was helpful for the world because if you had to get somewhere during a rain storm you would get wet walking. So the chariot was a good invention so people could get around.
Irrigation was the only way people could water their crops without over watering them or the crops not getting watered enough, because without irrigation no one could make food or eat so people would starve.
1.Irrigation is important so crops can grow in hot deserts.
ReplyDelete2.Bricks are important so people can build homes.
3.Chariot is Important so people can move around faster.
4.The wheel is important because they invented the first wheel to get around.
5.Money is important so people get there far share of money for things.
1.bricks,people in Mesopotamia developed a new way to construct buildings,they used bricks.to make these bricks,the people used mub and straw.
ReplyDelete2.Chariot, the chariot allowed the people of Mesopotamia to be much more mobile. These events was a huge step forward in progressing as a civilization.the chariot is a two wheeled cart that is pulled by a horse.
3.wheel,it appears to be such a simple invention. the wheel totally changed how people lived. the wheel made so many more things possible.
4.money, the people of Mesopotamia started a system of money to get what they lacked. During Mesopotamia,trading was a major in getting something. however,people began to be able to get things without giving.
5.ziggurat,the creation of the ziggurat is a major event in the history of Mesopotamia. A ziggurat is a pyramid shaped building used to worship. this building is a symbolic structure that has had a lasting impression.
1.The chariot:The reason this invention is important is because it was the first way pf transportation.
ReplyDelete2.Irrigation:This invention helped farming a lot. The reason is because crops would fail.Then a farmer discovered Irrigation.
3.The epic of Gilgamesh:The reason this event is known is because it is the first book ever in history.
4.Bricks:The reason this one is so important is because this was their building material.
5.The code of Hammurabi:These were the laws of king Hammurabi
Irrigation: Irrigation allowed to control when and how much water their crops get. They would digb ditches in the field, then they would get water for their crops. Without irrigation their would be no crops to eat and then they would probably starve to death.
ReplyDeleteBricks:Mesopotamia found a new way to construct houses. They did with bricks. They would mix mud and straw and then dry them in the scorching sun. Theur houses would now be a lot stronger and if warriors, wild animals, or natural disaster would attack the house would be very sturdy.
Money: Mesopotamia started money (not like ours today). People in Mesopotamia didn't want to give up something that they probaly would want to keep. They wanted to start a new kind of system to get the stuff they want. So they started money. The Lydians were the people that developed the early stages of money.
Irigation-
ReplyDeleteIrrigation is the control or when and how much water crops get. It helped the people of Mesopotaima because they would depend on the river to flood. When it did flood it ether made fertile cresent or destroyed the crops.
Bricks-
Bricks are what helped build houses. They made clay dried brickes. This helped them to have stronger houses. This also sheltered people better with brick houses.
Chariot-
The cariot helped people be more mobile in mesopotaima.It was a big step forward. It was a two wheeled cart that was pulled by a horse. It Could carry things so people wouldn`t have to carry things or so there wasn`t so much presure on there backs from holding idoms in back bags.
Money-
Money was a major point in Mesopotaima. They wantee to trade things without giving away what they wanted. This also helped for prices for the idoms. Mabey some people payed too much or some people pay to little.
Wheel-
The wheel is one of the most importent inventions. Without wheels we could not do half the stuff we do today. It helped carry things around instead of carring thins on our backs. Whitout wheels cariots wouldn`t be invented.
The invention of irrigation was very important to the farmers and people in Mesopotamia.In a desert, which is where Mesopotamia is located, it is hard to grow crops because of no rain. Irrigation lets the farmers control how much their crops were getting of water. Without irregation it would be very hard to grow crops, and there would be little amount of food or no food. This could led to staving to death.
ReplyDeleteThe Ziggurat is very imortant to the mesopotamia village because it gave a place to worship. This made people to believe that the most powerful god is in the sky. They made it so tall so they can worship in the sky,(by the god). It also helped in the war as a look out. The Ziggurat gave the army a chance to get ready.
During Mesopotamia trading was a huge part of getting something that you want to get, and money helped that. If you wanted to get something to eat you would need to give something up. With money they didnt need to trade anything they just bought it. Money lets people have and make the life always wanted. Now,money has made it through time today and will always help people.
Irrigatin-It was extremely important becouse with out it the people whould die of hunger. Also even with money you whould still die some with the wheel. And that is why I think irrigation is themost important.
ReplyDeleteChariot-I also think that the chariot is important becouse it alows people to move quicker so they can save more crops that whould be wasted.
Bricks-I think that bricks are important becouce they protekted them from harm or danger also to store food.It is more important to be prtected then to be rich.
The Wheel-It was pobeley a easy envestin but it made it so then you can make more enventions like the chariot.
Ziggurat-it is impotant becouse it gave the people a plase to worshop the gods.
Money: The people of Mesopotamia wanted to make something to use instead of giving something up to get something else. They made money and that changed every thing. Like for instants you have to pay your bill if you want electricity.
ReplyDeleteBricks:
Irrigation: Irrigation is very important. It helps us control how much water we put in our crops or gardens. The poeple dug ditches to control how much water the crops get because the rivers flooded every year.
Rise of Kings:
Ziggurat:
Development of Writing System:Without writing Mesopotamia would have probably been nothing. If there was no writing explaining thing to people in Mesopotamia, people would probably make mistakes all the time.
ReplyDeleteThis would of caused worse leadership for the kings. Also no writing leads to no communicating with other people. This would of caused time and things to come alot slower, and things would most likely not even be here at the moment! (EX-THIS COMUPTER I AM TYPING WITH!)So this is why the Writing System is a very good invention, and is probably the best one in the whole world. I mean just imaging not being able to actually talk to your own friends and family. I would be a really harsh time.
Money: During the time period of Mesopotamia, at first is was just trading stuff to get other things that would help you out. I mean think about trading something really important, like your dimaond ear ring, and you trade that for a pear of shoes. That would really hurt having to give away something such as that. So later on in Mesopotamia, they had invented money! This was very important for the people of Mesopotamia at the time. Instead of having to trade your belongings. You just simply pay them with money, and then you get the item you want. Then the money they just earned, can be used right back in the same concept or system. Even today this is very important, and without money life would be very hard to get something you wanted.
Wheel: Without the wheel being invented, life would be very hard to have a reliable transportation system there for you. So with this sort of invention, it helped out so much at the time of Mesopotamia. This helps out with also transporting other small things and taking them where you wish to go. Also today, jobs would be limited if we didn't have wheels. Getting there to your job in time at 6:00 in the morning is a hard process, if you didn't have anything to take you there. So what about the cars though, without that we wouldn't be able to from place to place either. Well what is actually on the car... A wheel! So very important invention I agree.
Ziggurat: This was a pyramid shaped building that was used for the people of Mesopotamia to worship the gods. This also brought together a huge civilization as a community. This also was a really tall building. Because what they thought was the most powerful god was the one in the sky. So they had built it so high, that they though they were in the sky themselves. It was also used a look out tower for people that were going to start a war! So very important piece of the Mesopotamia inventions.
Rise of Kings: Without Mesopotamia having Kings, there would of been no progressing in time or a leader. Without a King that helped out the civilization and things that kept thing going and under control. Nothing gets done without a leadership, and nothing new will probably be. So it was very important to have a king to control Mesopotamia. And having a King was so important, that nothing of Mesopotamia would have been and including its inventions that have been made. So I think that we can all agree that having a King kept Civilization and comminity running
Code of Hammurabi-
ReplyDeleteThe code of hammurabi was very important because it is a set of laws infact, 282 laws. If you are still wondering why laws are important it is because if you didnt have laws everyone would just think they could do anything they want and nothing would happen and it would be out of control. This was also a big step for the king because he had to actually step up and take charge.
Irrigation was probably the most important thing that Mesopotamia invented. It provided water so that they could grow food. If they had food, they wouldn't starve and Mesopotamia could go on to be one of the greatest civilizations of all time.
ReplyDeleteThe Code of Hammurabi was one of the most important events of Mesopotamia. It was important because people had to follow rules and get in trouble if they didn't. The laws made sure that everyone was safe.
Bricks are important because it kept people safe. People didn't want to get attacked by animals or other countries, so they mixed mud and straw to get bricks. People were safer after the development of bricks.
Money was important so that the people of Mesopotamia could get what they needed without trading something.
irrigation was an inportant ivention it aloud farmers to control how much water came into the crops.since they were in dry heat water was really inportant to keep the crops alive. it is also inportant to control the river becauce if the snow from anatolia mnt. it would over flow destoying the crops. and if the crops all the people would die
ReplyDeleteBricks
ReplyDeleteHow they mad the bricks.They made the bricks out of mud and straw.
the people in mespotamia made a new wayto make homes with bricks. they mixed mud and straw in the hot sun.this made it easier to make homes since there is a lot of straw and mud in the area.
ReplyDeleteThe Wheel: The wheel changed how people lived and how they worked.The wheel helped a lot because it would be hard to load a huge amount of wheat without the wheel. The wheel is important because without the wheel there would be no cars or things to move stuff from place to place easily. The wheel can help us everyday.
ReplyDeleteCode of Hammurabi: I think that The code of Hammurabi is one of the most important events of Mesopotamia because without laws it wouldn't be like the world today because everyone would get away with stealing and killing people. I would be scared just to come out of my house. Good thing the Code of Hammurabi was made but there were 282 laws made!
bricks was a new way for the mesopotamians. It helped keep robbers out,made it warm in winters,and keep wild animals out.
ReplyDeleteirrigation was one of the best inventions in mesopotamia. it made it so farmers could control water. it helped theire crops grow too.
the money of mesopotamia was good too. they started a system of writing. money allows people to have the life they want.
the ziggurat was also a big event in mesopotamia. it is used to worship the gods. it has been there a long time.
chariot was important. it helped them so they could travel more. overall it helped them travel quiker and faster.
Irrigation is important because it allowed farmers when and how much water the palnts gets. Without irrigation the crops would blaze in the sun. Irrigation has changed peoples lives forever. another reason it is important is we wouldnt have food and without food we would die.
ReplyDeleteBricks: Bricks helped building houses and buildings to make them sturdy. Without bricks people wouldnt be able to protect themselves. Bricks were made out of mud and straw. Without bricks they could be attacked by warriors, wild animals,and natural disasters.
Ziggurat: A ziggurat is a pyramid that is used for worship to the gods. A ziggurat gave people of Mespotamia a place to worship which increased their chance of being a civilization. Most people believed that the most powerful god lives in the sky. They build the ziggurat as close to the sky as possible and it was the largest structure in the whole town. This was done to show how impotant peoples beliefs were and how it is important to the people. Without thw ziggurat there would be no place to go worship.
Money:The people of mesopotamia started a system of money to get what they lacked. The only way to get something was to give up somkething. With money that all changed.Money allows people to create life how they want it.
Without out money we would have to give up stuff everytime you want something.
The Wheel: The wheel appers to be such a simply invention.The wheel totally changed how people lived and worked. For farming the wheel helped get their crops back to where they stored them. This how people transported their crops. Without a wheel we wouldnt have cars or we would have to lift crops by hand. You use the wheel everyday of your life , mostly.
the chariot made people get around a lot easier becauce.it made the popuation a lot bigger.it is a two wheeled cart with a hores puling it.usally it would be people walking but with the chariot people would walk city to city in about a week or so.
ReplyDeleteNothing was written down before the writing system was invented, so that means there was no records, journals, or no diarys. Since there was nothing to read from the past they had to study the artifacts. Archaeologists had to make theories of they artifacts because they didnt have any writting to find out what the things were.Cuniform, which is Mesopotamias writing system, helped all of the archeologist and the world. Now the mesopotamians can send letters and tell people about things that had happened.
ReplyDeleteWheels changed how people worked and lived in mesopotamia many ways. The wheel helped people transport their crops to one place to a nother in the farming community. It ould be very hard to transport a huge load of wheat without a wheel. If we did not have a wheel then it would take a long time to get the crops to one place to another and the crops would go bad. A wheel also helps people get to one place to another in a chariot.
Irrigation:Irrigation was an extremely important invention to the people of Mesopotamia. Irrigation allowed farmers to control when and how much water their crops would get. Mesopotamia was located in a desert so there was very little rain fall. Without irrigation crops would be dead.
ReplyDeleteBricks:The people of Mesopotamia started a new way to build buildings and houses. They used bricks. They made the bricks out of mud and straw they would mix these two ingredients together and let them dry in the scorching sun. This was a very important invention because without sun-dried bricks people couldn't protect themselves from weather and wild animals.
Development of writing: Development of writing was a major event of Mesopotamia. Its not only a major event in Mesopotamia its a major event in the world. Before Mesopotamia there were no records were kept, there was no journals or diaries. In Mesopotamia they wrote in cuneiform. Could you imagine not being able to communicate? Difficult I know. That's why the development of writing was so important.
Money: Mesopotamia started a development of money to get what they lacked. Trading was a major method in getting what you wanted. Yet people started wanting to get things without giving up something of theirs. What if there was no money in the world. You would have to give something up to something you wanted. If you don't like to give stuff up and there was no system of money you might starve to death. Now people just buy what they want, that's how important money is.
Wheel: The wheel seems like such a simple invention which it's not. The wheel totally changed the way people work and live. The wheel made so many more things possible.
how would you drive to work or school. How would you transport your crops without a wheel. How would you move things so heavy that it seems like the strongest person in the couldn't lift; a wheel. That's how important the wheel is.
here it comes money the people of mesopatamia made the first money systom.but some people thought that it was hard to get the money tis place would be a lot differnt.no computer no desk no traper keepers no smartbourd nothing that we have now we would not have
ReplyDelete1-Epic of Gilgamesh
ReplyDeleteThe Epic of Gilgamesh was the first book ever written. It is because of it that we have all of our books now. Thank you Mesopotamians!
2-The wheel
The wheel...So many uses for it. Cars, trucks, airplanes, and many other things! So many uses, I cant even name them all..
3- Code of Hammurabi
The Code of Hammurabi was the first set of laws. They were very harsh and had very bad punishments. Being the first civilization had a lot to it. Wow.
4- Irrigation
Irrigation is controlling how much water plants get. It changed alot for the Mesopotamians. Without it, we wouldnt be alive! I think, at least...
5- Bricks
Bricks are how they built their houses, and it's how we build today. How they got them? I don't know. Let's just say they were all wizards, and we are de-evolving. Yay, science!
Money: Money is important because we use it 24/7. If we didn't have money, we wouldn't have all the things we have today. We would have less things because we would need to trade in order to get the things we want.
ReplyDeleteIrrigation- People need irrigation for food. If people didnt have irrigation they would starve to death. Then if you would have irrigation, you would live and not starve.
ReplyDeleteBricks- If people wouldnt have brick then we wouldnt be able to make sturdy homes. if you would made it out of sticks then your house would probably fall down. Thats why bricks are important.
Bricks- The people of Mesopotamia developed a new way to construct buildings. They used bricks. To make these bricks, the people used mud and straw.

1. Ziggurat The creation of the Ziggurat was a major event in mesopotamia.A ziggurat is a pyramid shaped building. It was used to worship. The people believed that the most powerful god was in the sky.
ReplyDeleteIrrigation: Important for farming (agriculture) and crops. Irrigation helped mesopotamia a TON. First of all, it made it so they don't have to wait for the tigris and Euphrates river to over flow. Second of all the place where they lived was in the desert. The reason mesopotamia was a good place to farm, is because Mesopotamia is a firtile cresent between 2 rivers: Tigris and Eurphrates. Irrigation is being able to control when where and how much the crops get.
ReplyDeleteDevelopment of written language: Important because without writing there would be no irrigation, no letters, and no Epic of Gilgamesh (first book ever written.) The written language is also important because 1) there would be no money if there wasn't the writing system. 2) There would be no computers. And 3) There would be no words/language
Code of Hummarabi: Important because without this the world would be in all out hatred and war. (sounds familiar) The code of Hummarabi is a set of 282 laws established by King Hummarabi.

ReplyDeleteirrigatoin is immportant because it helped peaple farmm easery. it helps carry water thu the desert. and so you can farm in the desert.
writing system is important because they talk better. you could also send messegis to other places. thats what i think.
wheel is important so we move further. and get to places withless work. so now we have the car.
Epic of Gilgamesh: Important because that was the first book ever made. Without that book The Bible would not be made. And without The Bible there would really be no Christianity at all. The Epic of Gilgamesh is a book about a super hero I think. I'm not for sure though because it said nothing about what it was about in the description. Anyways It was important because the guy who made that book basicaly created "THE BOOK."
ReplyDeleteThe Chariot: Important because it allowed the people of mesopotamia to be more mobile. Thes event was a huge step forward because the guy who made the chariot basically created "THE CAR." And the car is very important.Now days we use cars to get everywhere, the store, friends house, EVERYWHERE.

Money
The people of Mesopotamia started a system of money to get what they lacked. In Mesopotamia there was a lot of trading so to get rid of trading they created money. With money instead of trading where they would give them something in return they would just buy it.
The Wheel
The wheel changed how people lived it made more things possible. So instead of carrying a 100 pound bag you could put it in a boat like thing and add wheels to it so that 100 pound bag feels like 10 pounds. With the farmers they would use the wheel to transport crops if they couldn't transport them on their back in time all the crops would have died and gone to waste.
Irrigation- allows farmers to control when and how much water the crops get. Also without Irrigation the crops should not grow and die out. Also irrigation help to trade people for stuff they dint have.
ReplyDeleteMoney- it helped people so they dint have to trade something and they just could by it with money. It help people create the life they want. Money was developed by the Lydians during the days of Mesopotamia.
Bricks- they where able to build stronger houses. Also it helped because before they had to make it out of straw and mud. Also people where able to protect their selfs.
Chariot- help people get around and help carry thing around and get places faster. Helps people pick the crops and produce more crops and goods. And helps people be much more Mobil.
Ziggurat- it helps worship the gods. During the wars they used it as a watch tower. It should be much easier to attack them without the pyramid.
(continued from pg. 1)
ReplyDeleteMoney was important because people wouldn't have to give up something to get something. They could keep what they wanted and get what they needed. This is important because they wouldn't lose their stuff.
Chariots were very important because people could move faster. It wouldn't matter if they had food because most of it would spoil before they could store it. With chariots, they don't lose as much food and don't starve.
My computer will not let me switch from notes to the comment box, so I will have a third page. :(

Yes Irragation is important to the people of mesopitamia and to growing crops, but what if you are unable to transport those crops? They will all go to waste. Irragation does you no good without the wheel.which provides a way to transport the crops to where you want to go. it was moving and traveling much easier. How would you use a chariot without a wheel? think about today. How often does the wheel impact your day every day must be pretty significant.
ReplyDeleteIrrigation is important because it allowed the farmers to water their crops whenever they wanted to. It saved Mesopatamia from starvation. It is way more important then the brick because without irrigation mesopatamia would not be alive.
ReplyDeleteBricks are important because it helped them produce better homes. They were better building material for the houses. it is more important than a chariot because you need a shelter.

The wheel is important because it allowed the people to move stuff around easier and faster. before they had to slide it around on the ground it was hard and not fuN. It is more important then the epic of Gilgamesh because it is a book and it is not that important.
One of the most important events in Mesoptamia was the code of Hamibari. This event established a set of laws and punishments for breaking those laws. Another big event in Mesopitima was irrigation. Irragation was basically were you control thee amount of water you get for your crops. Also farming was another big event because it gave them food.

Chariot is imorptant because it was an easier to get to places and faster and it was pretty much like carriges just a bit more complicated I mean they used hores but with out that we would not even have know that we could make cars.
Brick are important because they and used to make their houses, ziggurat, and buildings, they are made out of straw and mud. they were used to live in and in war and to hunt animals.
Irrigation: Irrigation was was very important because it allowed the farmers of Mesopotamia to what they needed to for the water like how much andwhen.

If you had abig load of wheat it would be pretty hard to move if you carry it because you would have to walk a long way and it would be heavy.
Develpment of the wrighting system: The wrighting system is very important because iy was the first writing system to the world. If they dint invent that The Code Of Hammurabi wouldnt exist.

ReplyDeleteWheel: the wheel made everything much easier. The wheel also helped transporting crops and other materials. It also helped invent the chariot and other inventions

Money: Trading was important to get something you want.Stages of money came from Lydians.If you want something new you would have to trade something of yours.
The Wheel: The people invented the first wheel. It allows you to transport something to some where. It would impact the people in Mesopotamia.
one of the invention that we yous so much the wheel.it helped the Mesopotamians farm,teransporting.expeshely irrigation the crops would go to waste
ReplyDeletecode of Hammurabi it had 282 laws.
ReplyDeletelaw was very important because if you were wealthy you would be robbed.
irrigation allows farmers to control the water that there crops get.
ReplyDeletethey used to rely on the tigress and euphertetes over flowing
Chariot: The chariot is a two wheeled cart that is pulled by a horse. It used to take people forever to walk to places. Irrigation is good, but a lot of the crops would go to waste if there wasn’t a quick way to get it to the storage bins. Ziggurats are big and cool, but if it takes people 2 days to get there, not very many people will go. With the chariot, the people of Mesopotamia took a step toward civilization.
ReplyDeleteCode of Hammurabi: The code of Hammurabi is one of the most important events of Mesopotamia, it’s a set of laws that were written down by Babylonian King Hammurabi. You may think it sounds fun and exciting. If there were no consequences to doing bad things, people would steal, kill, and assault. If you had a million dollars, it would all get robbed. What good would a wheel do if you were constantly in hiding because you were scared you would get hurt. It made it clear that if you were bad, you would get punished.
Rise of Kings: The world didn’t have kings, until Mesopotamia. Everybody was out for themselves, or maybe a group, trying to survive. Without leadership, no progress can occur. Once Mesopotamia began to have Kings, things changed. The people had someone who took control and helped them progress. If people are left without any leadership or direction, nothing gets done. As a bunch of individuals, nothing is accomplished, but as one, great things can happen. What good would a law do if there was no King to enforce it? It would be useless. Many people argue that if it wasn’t for the King, progress would not have been made in farming, writing, religion, or building.
Ziggurat: The Ziggurat is a major event in the history of Mesopotamia. A ziggurat is a pyramid shaped building used to worship the gods. This building is a symbolic structure that has had a lasting impression. It is still studied and viewed today, over 4,000 years later. This building gave the people of Mesopotamia a place to worship, which was a major step towards creating a civilization. It was a symbol for the people of Mesopotamia to believe it. The people believed that the most powerful god lived in the sky. They built the ziggurat so high to get as close to the sky as possible. The largest structure in the whole town was always the ziggurat. This was done to show how important it was to the people and their beliefs. In times of war, it also served a very important role. Since it was so high, the ziggurat was used as a watch tower. People could see in all directions, so if an enemy force was advancing, they would be able to see that long before they arrived at the gates. This gave the army a chance to get ready. Sure there are other important events, but without the ziggurat, it would have been much easier for an enemy army to attack the city and destroy it.
Money: The people of Mesopotamia started a system of money to get what they lacked. During Mesopotamia, trading was a major method in getting something that you wanted. However, people began to want to be able to get things without having to give up something. Imagine the only way to get something was to give up something. What do you think? Things certainly would be a lot different. With the trading system, if you wanted something to eat, you would have to give up something. If you wanted a new pair of shoes, you would have to give up something. With money, that all changed, people no longer had to give up something to get something, they simply bought it. The very early stages of money was developed by the Lydian's during the days of Mesopotamia and it has obviously lasted through time to become a major factor in our world. Money drives people. Money allows people to create the life they want. There are many inventions of Mesopotamia that are significant. Perhaps none can rival the importance of money in today’s world. Think about it: want to set up some irrigation in our world? You must buy it. Want to use things with wheels? You have to buy it. Punishment for not obeying many laws? Having to pay a fine.
