Mesopotamians made sun-baked bricks by mixing clay, water, and straw to create a malleable material. They would then mold this mixture into rectangular shapes and leave the bricks to dry in the sun for several days. This process resulted in durable, lightweight bricks that could be used for construction. The use of sun-baked bricks was crucial for building structures in the region, given the scarcity of stone.
The Mesopotamians combined copper and tin to make bronze.
Mesopotamians lived and slept in their homes, which they constructed of mud and brick. The houses were largely rectangular and usually had two or three levels. The flat roofs of these houses also functioned as living space, and they sometimes slept on the roofs during the summer.
Make do with what you have. The Mesopotamians gave us a very valuable building material the brick. Having no locally available stone they used the plentiful supplies of mud and clay found on the banks of the Euphrates to make bricks. There is also trade, exchange what you have for what you lack. In their case it was agricultural produce. This is how Babylon became a thriving and powerful city. Finally when you finally become more powerful take the resources from your neighbours by force.

Yes, ancient Mesopotamians were among the first to use brick ovens for baking bread and other food items. These ovens were typically dome-shaped and made from mud brick, well-suited for the high temperatures needed for baking.
The Mesopotamians usually depended on the Tigris and Euphrates rivers to give them mud, the Mesopotamians gathered mud on the coast of the rivers and pounded them into a brick form, after that, they put them in the sun to dry and the next morning they get mud bricks. However, because there was no flood control near the rivers, floods kept taking away the chance for the Mesopotamians to gather mud, and make houses. Later on, they discovered how to control the rivers' flood frequencies.
The Romans invented the burnt brick after clay pottery was hardened by firing in closed klins learnt from the Mesopotamians some 8000 years ago.
