    That video was very interesting, disturbing, and creepy. It is catchy. Now I have it stuck in my head. Well at least I will remember them for the test.

    I think that the video is really trying to get the point of Sargon, Gilgamesh, Hammurabi, and Ashurbanipal. They are, in a way, showing the fabulous four, They are showing some writing,wheels, need for water, and some money. [ For the wigs] This video also had some really creepy characters, but whatever. I think that this would be a good intro to the Mesopotamian world. This video shows many things. It can even give you a brief intro to some of the people of Mesopotamia. If you listen carefully, you can learn a lot.

    I think it is a good song to learn about Mesopotamia. It also shows a bunch of the greats in Mesopotamia.

    It was cool that the singers were named after people in Mesopotamia.also,Hammurabi used cuneiform which was cool. I noticed that they talked about how dry it was.

    It was very weird. But, i like how it has some important people in the video.
    I also like how it mentioned the first system of writing.

    I don't think it gave much information about Mesopotamia besides the fact that they did show cuneiform really well. now that I think of it they didn't even say the word cuneiform in there. they also showed the heat and dry ground in there but otherwise I thought it was creepy.
