TO BE CONTINUED!!!
1we all know that Mesopotamia is know as the land between the 2 rivers Tigris and Euphrates and they had very fertile grass for farming and so that is how they got social division.
2They farmed with tons of things and when the grass becane so fertile only a few people had to farm nd then gather and then they shared.
3They had built ziggarats to so they could get as close as possible to the heavens but dont get them confused with piramids they have more of a point on the top of them.
The people of mesopotamia used a method called irragation which mean to get water from place to place from like wells and otger rivers and lakes but today we get ours from the water pipes in the ground and ours is cleaner.
4The grass was so fertile in mesopotamia because before the were caveman that lived during the ice age and so when the ice bergs melted the grass was really fertile which made really good farming land.
5The people of mesopotamia either worshiped one or many gods s many of them involves like water wind fire tons of them for everything and worshipig many gods would be called polytheism which seems like a funny word.

What I know about Mesopotamia. . .
1. Mesopotania was located in the Fertile Cresent (present day Iraq) between the Tigris and Euphraties Rivers.
2. The climate in Mesopotamia is NOT ideal for farming since Summers are long, hot, and dry; May-October NO rain; November-April rain comes as a downpour or a brief sprinkle
3. Since such bad land in the North the farmers move South in 5,000 b.c.
4. The Tigris and Euphraties Rivers provide a great source of fresh water and also overflow often and make land very fertile, but the problem there was there was very little rainfall so they created "irrigation" to help control how much and when the crops were watered.
5. Another problem they had but solved was they had trouble constructing buildings so they cut reeds from marshy areas to buikd huts. And then they used mud and straw to make bricks.
6. Basically there were 2 groups of people, farmers and herders; and things that were farmed were... barley, wheat, miller, dates, onions, garlic, apples, and lettuce; and things that were herded were goats, cattle, and sheep.
7. As farming improved people thrived and population grew; and then new settlers arrived from the West and Northwest part of Mesopotamia.
8. As people arrived Villages turned into City-States... Such as
Uruk
Kish
Lagash
Nippur
Umma
Ur
9. Since surplus food, not everyone needed to farm; so people could do other jobs such as Government, Religious Leader, Artisians, and Craftspeople.
10. The people of Mesopotamia traded to get the goods they lacked such as... copper, stone, and wood; by using boats on the river.

9 In Mesopatiaima Sumer is in the south and Urauk is in the north
10 Mesopotamians build a very large building called a Ziggurat which was supposed to connect thier heaven and earth the reason it was so large is because they wanted people to know how importent thier religon was to them; Ziggurats were often the biggest buildings in a village.

The following items are what I know about Mesopotamia:
1. The Hammurabi Code has 282 laws and means an "eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth". Moses 10 commandment are a much better way to live by.
2. The Lydians invented the first coin, which means we can shop.
3. The Phoenicians invented the moderan alphabet, which is wonderful, so we can spell and enjoy reading today.
4. The Mesopotamia people hunted and gathered food before learning to farm, which led to surplus food to barter for good they needed (copper, wood, stone).
5. The Cuneiform is a way of writing in Mesopotamia time and it started out as a "star" or symbols representing words. It took 12 years to learn.
6. People who wrote down important information were called scribs. This was important in planning the for the future.
7. The Mesopotamia calendar was based on moon and stars, since they used illustrations instead of words.
8. The Mesopotamians built levies and gated ditches to help control flooding. Today, we still use levies to hold back water in the coastal regions (they never knew when a flood would come or not).
9. The Fertile Crescent was named that because the land was fertile and rich. People could farm better crops there.
10. Mesopotamia means the land between two rivers, which was great for irrigation, because they could control how much water the crops would get. Again helping to get surplus food.
