Mesopotamia

Semiramis was the queen of Babylon witch took over Mesopotamia.

It was suited for the growth because they created things like farming and irrigation (it means a way to grow crops by building walls in front of ditches near the rivers so when the water flows heavily the can lift or move the walls and water will flow in so they can grow food). Also the artisans made things out of metal, cloth and clay.

I do not know how long the babylonian empire lasted, but Hammurabi ruled from 1792B.C. to 1750B.C. trust me I had to do a report on all 282 laws and why they were fair or unfair. im preety sure you had to do that. Hamurabie lasted for 52 years. Jets rule SUPER BOWL

According to the generally accepted definition of Mesoptamia as the land between the Euphrates and Tigris, the history can be charted approximately as follows: ~3000 BCE - Loose conglomeration of Sumerian city-states, each with its own king. The stories about Gilgamesh take place in this time frame. ~2300 - Sargon of Akkad starts the Akkadian empire with Akkad as its capital city (whereabouts still unknown). 2200-1800 - Ruled by kings in Larsa, Isin, and then Ur. Various city-states vied for power. ~1800 BCE - Old Babylonian empire starts under Hammurabi. ~1400 BCE - Middle Babylonian/Assyrian empires ~1000-612 BCE - Neo-Assyrian Empire (Sennacherib, Esarhaddon, Ashurbanipal, etc.) 612-520 BCE - Neo-Babylonian Empire (Nebuchanezzar II, Nabonidis, etc.) 520-331 BCE - Persian Empire (Cyrus the Great, Darius, etc) 331- Macedonian conquest under Alexander the Great That's it for Ancient Mesopotamia. After that it stops being its own entity under really modern times, and now it's known as Iran.

Yes, it was a great honor because it took high education in order to be able to be sufficiently literate to read/write. Scribes in Mesopotamia were treated very highly in their caste system, and could find good jobs working for businesses, or even the royalty.

They where built as temples

NIMROD...

Genesis 10:8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.

9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.

10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

11 Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,

12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.

we learn that the Mesopotamian people were very hardworking. they were the first to set up a civilization. so we must owe a lot to the Mesopotamian civilization.

No, the ziggurats were built as temples for Sumerian gods.

Mesopotamians

I am sure you studied that Mesopotamia means the "the land between the rivers" So, it shows that Mesopatmian people had easy access to water. This means they could grow agriculturally and develop their society, because they had one of the basic materials to do so.

The name Mesopotamia comes from the Greek word meaning "between the rivers", and the Mesopotamians lived in what is now Iraq and eastern Syria between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. The Mesopotamians lived near the water because the water helped them to have rich soil for farming.

Its location and geography made it a center for trade and cultural innovations.

Mesopotamia was a great place to live because it had water nearby, great food sources, and rich, fertile soil.

Facts about the life of Moses, as with others in ancient times, may or may not be entirely accurate. The dates of Moses's birth and death are hard to establish. Many contemporary authorities believe that the exodus took place in the 13th century BC.As the story goes ...Moses was the son of Amram and his wife, Jochebed, a Levite. He is known as the legendary Hebrew liberator, leader, lawgiver, prophet, historian, and founder of Israel, or the Jewish people.According to the Hebrew Bible, Moses led the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt and into the desert, and received the Torah of Judaism from God on Mount Sinai. The Torah contains the life story of Moses and his people until his death at the age of 120 years, according to Jewish count was in the year 2488, or 1272 BCE. Arising in part from his age, but also because 120 is elsewhere stated as the maximum age for Noah's descendants (Genesis 6:3), "may you live to 120" has become a common blessing among Jews.Moses's greatest legacy was probably expounding the doctrine of monotheism, which was not widely accepted at the time, codifying it in Jewish religion with the 1st Commandment, and punishing polytheists. He is considered a prophet in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.The birth of Moses occurred at a time when the current Egyptian Pharaoh had commanded that all male children born to Hebrew slaves should be killed by drowning in the Nile river. The Torah leaves the identity of this Pharaoh unstated. But he is believed by some to be Ramses II; other, earlier pharaohs have also been suggested including a Hyksos pharaoh or one shortly after the Hyksos had been expelled.Jochebed, the wife of the Levite Amram, bore a son, and kept him concealed for three months. When she could keep him hidden no longer, rather than deliver him to be killed, she set him adrift on the Nile river in a small craft of bulrushes coated in pitch. The daughter of Pharaoh discovered the baby and adopted him as her son, and named him "Moses" (considered to mean "to draw out"). By Biblical account, Moses' sister Miriam observed the progress of the tiny boat. Miriam then asked Pharaoh's daughter if she would like a Hebrew woman to nurse the baby.Thereafter, Jochebed was employed as the child's nurse, and he grew and was brought to Pharaoh's daughter and became her son.When Moses reached adulthood, he went one day to see how his brethren, slaves to the Egyptians, fared. Seeing an Egyptian mistreating a Hebrew, he killed the Egyptian and hid his body in the sand, supposing that no one who would be disposed to reveal the matter knew of it.The next day, seeing two Hebrews quarreling, he endeavored to separate them, whereupon the Hebrew who was wronging the other taunted Moses for slaying the Egyptian. Moses soon discovered from a higher source that the affair was known, and that Pharaoh was likely to put him to death for it; he therefore made his escape to the Sinai peninsula and settled with Hobab, or Jethro, priest of Midian, whose daughter Zipporah he in due time married.There he sojourned forty years, following the occupation of a shepherd, during which time his son Gershom was born. Moses is also said to have had an Ethiopian wife, according to Numbers 12:1. (However, the 11th century Talmudic commentator Rashi stated that this is merely a reference to the beauty of Zipporah.

In oral cultures, the information and the history of any event were subject to change, depending on who was telling the story; thus, the personality or popularity of the story-teller could affect how the events were understood. When writing came along, it provided one official way to tell a story, with an agreed-upon set of facts; whether in a scripture or a legal document, the event was preserved and available to be studied at any time.

Writing also provided something that could be passed on to the next generation in a form that was stable, making it possible for future generations to know exactly what their ancestors thought. In cultures like Mesopotamia, writing helped to bind the culture together in one shared way of telling the story. People who had mastered literacy could read it for themselves, or for those who could not, it could be read to them by public readers.

Ziggurats are made of mud, or clay , of stones that they found out in the area. Usually it was made of hardened sand that the Sumerians made by dipping sand in water and then drying it in the sun. Or they were made by boulders that were found in the wilderness like in canyons or caves.
