Mesopotamia

well the growing supply of food made the Sumerians get just more and more wealthy. so they had enough food to feed another being. so with that said they just needed more people and they had enough food so they just started doing what they needed to get more people.

a. To each problem there was a solution. The first solution was that they moved down closer to the rivers so they could grow more crops. The second solution was that they built the irrigation system. The third solution was that all the villages had to work together to maintain the system and the last solution is that the built mud walls and dug moats around their villages so it would be hard to get attacked.

the Fertile Crescent, the Land Between Two Rivers.

It was basically a low rainfall area, but the Tigris and Euphrates river flood plains ran through it, and had annually-renewable soil from the flooding rains in the northern mountains. With irrigation from the rivers, the river valleys were very fertile and productive.

patriarchy

im pretty sure it was wood and steel

Yes it did, they made inroads into Libya, the Sudan and towards Jordan...Not to mention conquering what wasn't part of the Upper Kingdom at the time. but either military or explorer's definitely made it much, much further afield

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.

they basic job was to keep the peace and make sure everything was going right in the economic basis.

it looks like a tomb inside with all the furniture and jewelry

The Fertile Crescent was a crescent-shaped region containing the comparatively moist and fertile land of otherwise arid and semi-arid Western Asia, and the Nile Valley and Nile Delta of northeast Africa. Its area covered present day Iraq, a strip of western Iran by the Iraqi border and along the northern part of the Persian Gulf, Syria, a strip of Turkey near the border with Syria and Iraq, Lebanon, Israel/Palestine, western Jordan and the Nile Delta and Valley in Egypt.

The city of Ur looked very advanced and more wealthy than the other city-states of Mesopotamia. It had very large temples and buildings in which they payed their respects to their gods in. The houses were very squished together but livable. Ur was ruled by king Sargon which was very wealthy and famous that time

mesopotamian civilization

because it left behind silt which is good fertile mud

good for croping

I believe that where Mesopotamia was located is now in Iraq and Syria. That's what my social studies teacher said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The code of Hammurabi is a code of law (just a bunch of laws). It was important because Hammurabi wanted peace and justice in his kingdom, so he created these rules. The Hammurabi's code was the first legal document of laws and it also helped make a system of writing (cuneiform).

they were able to build irrigation systems, and the code of hammuribai (yes, i spelled it wrong) says that anyone who does not make food shall be put to death or pay the whole tribe a amount of money per land, or something like that. So it will have to be that the farmers were able to cope with anything that came, it was sort of like a rule. And besides, all of them were farmers until they had specialized jobs, so only the people that were good at farming were farming.

The top of a ziggurat is a flat platform. There are some instances where a temple or other ceremonial structure was placed on the platform but not all ziggurats had/have such structures.

the boat could have sinked && they could have died ....

They were able to trade over long distances

In ancient Mesopotamia, they didn't have coined money as ancient households had to pay taxes in kind, and they paid different taxes throughout the year. Poll taxes required each man to deliver a cow or sheep to the authorities. Merchants transporting goods from one region to another were subject to tolls, duty fees, and other taxes. To avoid as many of these as possible, they frequently resorted to smuggling. Almost everything was taxed such as livestock, the boat trade, fishing, even funerals. However, the most burdensome obligation a household faced was its labor obligation. This was called "going" or "burden" in Babylonian languages. A free man, head of his household, owed the government many months of labor service. If he were lucky, his service might entail harvesting the government's barley fields or digging the silt out of canals. If he were unlucky, he had to do military service, leaving the security of home to fight wars abroad, perhaps never to return.

The first Ziggurat was make by Nebbacanezer II in about 2000 B.C.
