Slaverly in Mesopotamia?

There was a very large amount of slavery in Mesopotamia. This was because, in the deserts of Mesopotamia (modern day Iraq), for people to survive and allow their farms to thrive the various nations had to use massive amounts of labour in the creation of irrigation systems. Thus, it was extremely beneficial for nations to force others to work for them.


What are some physical features of ancient Mesopotamia and modern day Iraq?

There are really three important geographic features of Mesopotamia. It is made up of an area of land known as "the fertile crescent". This land lies between and around two important rivers that give this rich area its life-- the Tigris and Euphrates.


What is the difference between ancient Mesopotamia and current Mesopotamia?

Mesopotamia is a part of Iraq, and Iraq still does have the Tigris and Euphrates which remain the most important rivers in the Middle East after the Nile. The difference between Mesopotamia and Iraq in terms of topography mainly concerns the area of Iraq outside of Mesopotamia (such as the Zagros Mountains in the East or the Anbar Deserts in the West). Note: it is not that these areas did not exist during the time of Ancient Mesopotamia, just that they were not part of that region (in the same way that the Rocky Mountains were not part of the Thirteen Colonies, even though they are part of the United States and existed concurrently with the Thirteen Colonies). The other difference is that the silt carried by the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers has pushed the southern point of Mespoptamia further south each year. Half of Kuwait and the Iraqi Shatt Al-Arab region have been formed since the end of Ancient Mesopotamia.
