Mesopotamia

If your job had more things to do with god and religion the higher class you were.

The Tigris and the Euphrates were the main rivers of the fertile crescent

a game called pokta pok which was basicly a basketball game without dribbling and used body parts such as your hips,chest and legs and the ball never touched the ground.

The best place to farm in Mesopotamia would be in the lush valley between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers.

Mesopotamia occupies a third of the fertile crescent, the easternmost third to be exact. It extends from the end of the Persian Gulf up through Syria and then down through Palestine almost to Egypt. It is crescent shaped. There is a desert between the two legs.

ranged from seasons of cool to hot seasons with temperatures often over 110 degrees

Mesopotamia totally got their food from the seeds and planted them and also since they found in the land food and vegetables had been left there.

Mesopotamia is a place, not a civilization. There have been numerous civilizations in Mesopotamia which have met their own downfalls for very different reasons ranging from over-expansion, to invasion, to internal strife, to food shortages.

Mesopotamia as a region became less relevant as the center of civilization shifted towards Europe and the region as a whole became less fertile. (This was offset between 800-1200 C.E. when Baghdad became one of the foremost cities in the world.)

while southern Mesopotamia had a very scarce rain or adrought northern Mesopotamia had had enough rain to make farming possible yet on the rocky earth the northern plateau only had pockets of fertile soil.

Jordon is so cute

Mesopotamia is in modern-day Iraq, Kuwait, a northeastern section of Syria, a small section of southeastern Turkey, and even smaller sections of southwestern Iran.

It is the name of the area of land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and is considered to be the cradle of Western civilization. It included Sumer and the Akkadian, Assyrian, and Babylonian empires, which are all in modern-day Iraq.

Sometimes it was called the Warring Kingdoms Period or the Waring States Period.

They both worshiped a winged sun disk?

The similarities are very less in number. Considering the differences the whole of Egypt was under one emperor where as in Mesopotamia the whole region was divided into small regions and each region had its own god( The King of that particular small kingdom). The local people of one kingdom worshiped their gods i.e, kings and offered them the harvest and many other belongings . The god (king) used to communicate with the people through a messenger.

Mesopotamia was always vulnerable to foreign attacks with Egypt that wasn't the case.

Mesopotamian civilization left very few remains and ruins for any study about their culture where as in Egypt there are plentiful to pick the interest of many archeologists.

The rivers were extremely navigable and provided a fast and reliable transportation to other communities along the river.

The fertile river valleys produced a surplus of food, increased population and river transport for trade. This produced leisure time and people to encourage building of cities, a civic structure and cultural activities.

People became craftsman (also called artisans) in Mesopotamia due to the advancement of domesticating herds of animals and the improvement in agricultural practices that allowed just a few farmers grow enough food for a large population. This allowed people to devote time to specialty arts such as basket weaving or pottery or being a blacksmith or a carpenter etc...

Mesopotamia primaily used silver coins, beginning circa 3000BC. The earliest coins were of non-standard sizes and shapes and were marked according to the number of shekels of silver it contained. Shekels were a Mesopotamian unit of mass equal to roughly 11 grams.

The Mesopotamian, particularly the Sumerian, had a unique view on death and the afterlife. The Mesopotamians, in contrast to their Egyptian neighbours, believed that when they died, they were transformed to a cave with no openings isolated from the entire world. There was nothing to do, people just sat there doing nothing in all eternity.

You may now be asking yourself, how could the Mesopotamians look positive to such a life in an isolated cave doing nothing in all eternity? A simple view of the Mesopotamian life indicates why they felt positive about such an afterlife. Mesopotamia was a fertile region that attracted many great Kingdoms, thus it was constantly under attack. Besides people of Mesopotamia had to perform great tasks every day ranging from every day work such as farming, trading, cooking to greater jobs such as building palaces and temples for their gods. The Mesopotamians saw the afterlife as a resting place where they would sit in all eternity doing nothing and forgetting about the work and the wars that pervaded their everyday life.
