Mesopotamia

it was because of the rain it did not stop so they just let it flood

------------------

Just like in modern times, the ancients used canals to divert water and levees to hold back water. These were pretty straightforward to make, and with the help of slave labor these efforts could be realized relatively quickly. Cities always had the option of building on higher ground, as well.

In Mesopotamia, kings were considered to be representatives of the gods. To the Egyptians pharaohs were gods on earth.

priests

(not a right answer) people places markets houses n thts all i no

to keep records. writing was called cuneiform.

Mesopotamia's were so strong is because Mesopotamia was not very aware of the coming, and because of that, they kind of affected people way more because people in Mesopotamia wasn't ver causous

A Hindu fanatic who could not forgive Gandhi for his belief that Muslims had equal value to Hindus and no-one was better than anybody else.
A Hindu because they thought he was being to nice to the Muslim's.

The flooding helped helped the land by bringing silt and minerals so crops grew better.

The reason Egyptian history is more peaceful is a geographical one. Initially, the firs civilizations had a lot to gain by fighting for the land area between the Tigris and the Euphrates Rivers. They needed the water.

The tools where made from clay and wood. You can get move info from the book 'empires and conquests''.

How did people in Mesopotamia live before city-states formed?

because there were trails passes they found civilization and said this is home and this will be a city of gods . thats how

ps they beat eachother in the head with wooden bats and went uh guh uh guh im stupid is what they did also:)

Cradle of civilization

Mesopotamian civilization started when the rivers in Mesopotamia would flood. The two rivers that surrounded the area were the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. When the water would flood, it created fertile soil. The soil provided a great surplus of food. With this surplus, people could settle in the village. When people realized that they could depend on this food source for food, the settlements started to get bigger and bigger. They started to turn into towns and cities. With this surplus of food came an increase in the population. Later, the civilizations began to organize themselves by job. This city started off as a small farming village and then it started irrigation. Villages that were far from the rivers now had a stable food supply. This, allowed increases in the number of people who lived in each settlement. The technology of irrigation was a big part of Mesopotamian civilization.

Man has always struggled to keep accurate track of the time. The origins of the hourglass are not exactly certain. They might have been used as early as the 11th century CE, although we do not have assured evidence of their existence until the 14th century. Another early developed timekeeping device was the water clock. Its exact origins are unknown, but water clocks have been found dating as far back as 1500 BCE in ancient Egypt. The device works by allowing water to pass through a small aperture of the clock at a certain rate. By watching this flow of water you will be able to tell what time it is, even at night as it was not based upon the Sun. Water does not always flow at a consistent rate, however, so this device was not perfectly accurate. The water clock was well used in Mesopotamia.

The Sumerians developed a large trade network in part because some of the resources their civilization required were not found in Mesopotamia. Wood is especially scarce in this region so lumber became one of the key trade items for the Sumerians. But most items the Sumerians traded for were those not available in Mesopotamia.

They made bread.

They were disciplined with the rod, whip, lashes, and ostracism.

The People of mesopotamia develop a irrigation system because they didn't want to keep on going to the river to get there water. Also it was hard to farm without irrigation. The irrigation system made farming easier and help people get more water.

Mesopotamia was in an area that was harsh and unpredictable. There was floods

The Phoenician civilization differed from other ancient civilizations of the time by developing their own distinctive civilization rather than being forged into a united kingdom. Each city-state were politically independent units. They defended their civilization by dominating maritime trade.

Sumerian Culture spread throughout Mesopotamia in cultural diffusion, which was when neighboring cities would exchange ideas or even products. Trading is a prime example of cultural diffusion.

City of Lagash versus city of Umma, Uruk vs Kish and Nippur, Sargon's conquest of Mesopotamia, Guti overthrow of the Akkadian empire, Persian capture of Mesopotamia etc etc

The Israelites differed from the other culture groups in that they believed in only one God. The cultures of Sumer, Philista, Egypt, ect. had a multitude of gods which had to be placated, not worshiped. The other cultures' gods were seen as vengeful, selfish, and amoral; it was best that one did not attract the attention of these gods. Animism is another feature of the other cultures' religions. They believed that certain animals could be inhabited by "gods" and that one could curry favor by making pets of the favorite animal of that god. They made representations of these gods and literally adorned the statue with costly clothing, jewelry, and presents of food on the assumption that to do so would placate the god behind the idol. The Israelites, in contrast, did none of these things. They did worship at a common meeting ground, but did not make representation of their one God, nor did they sacrifice humans to placate this God. They believed that they were ruled by this one God by covenantal agreement, not by vengeance taken by this God.
