Mesopotamia

Halley's Comet

The Mesopotamians did not have access to boulders and huge stones or to the labourers which the Egyptians managed easily for their monument construction.

The bureaucracy was indefinitely affected by the structures. And Mesopotamian more pragmatic in their thinking did not believe in the Egyptian preparation for afterlife.So here we are to compare and contrast Egypt and Mesopotamia.

Both these civilizations carried out extensive trading but the economic overtone varied in most cases. Mesopotamia was more technological in its approach and the environment was very difficult to manage than the Nile valley. The contacts of trade were a lot vaster and far flung. And special importance was given to the merchant class and commercial law.

The social differences were vast. Like the difference in social status of women in the two contrary civilizations. It is concluded that in Egyptian society women were given more importance to. To stabilize the Egyptian monarchy women of the upper class were important and were treated with much care and respect which wasn't the case in Mesopotamian.

Since these civilizations grew up in similar environments they had a symbiotic relationship. Though there are doubts but Egyptian is certainly older to Mesopotamian. Their origins are largely different so is their way of working.

Egypt was a more stable civilization compared to Mesopotamia and also more full of life and mirth.

Economically perhaps Mesopotamia flourished more than Egypt and in art and culture Egypt edged over Mesopotamia.

Though a real comparison would involve a more vast study of the various aspects of society, Mesopotamia had a very violent internal history. Historians often points out that inter war within the civilization led to its downfall.

Yes. The Sumerian cuniform dates back to 3300bc whereas thr Akkadian variant didn't make an appearance until 2600 bc. Akkadian did ultimately replace Sumerian as the dominant spoken language but Sumerian was still used for cerimonious purposes but was basically gone from historic record by 1 ad.

It allowethis allowed the civilizations to grow because they began to take in other cultures food, religion, ethics etc.

If you mean Sargon of Akkad, aka Sargon the Great, see related link.

When the two rivers flood (Euphrates & Tigris) it makes the soil rich and soft and it makes the crops grow better. I hope that helps!
Fertile crescent attracted Sumerians because of their fertile soil. It contained one plain known as Mesopotamia, meaning in Greek "land between the rivers''.

Various groups from inside and from outside the area sought to control Mesopotamia (Sumer, Akkad, Assyria, Babylon) because of the fertile agricultural land between the rivers. Much of the adjacent geographic areas are comparatively dry.

Ancient civilizations were effected by the geography of were they were living. Cities were built near bodys of water (lakes, Oceans, Rivers, ect.) because it provided them with fertile soil, transportation, food and water, larger numbers of animals to hunt, and good hygiene. Stable food sources were a big part on how you than lived. If animals had a place to stay stabily, so did you. Than you would be able to settle down as well. Some civilitions were made in areas withaverage temperature as well. Geography also occasionally provided natural barriers. Natural barriers kept out enemies, etc. When there were none, cultural diffusion was more likely to happen.
