Mesopotamia

According to ''National Geographic'' it took an estimated 20,000 to 30,000 workers to build the Pyramids at Giza over a period of 80 years from about 2570 to 2490 B.C. and slaves were not used.

The main pyramids are -

The Pyramid of Khufu also known as The Great Pyramid of Giza and the Pyramid of Cheops [his Greek name] Dated around 2560 B.C.

The Pyramid of Khafre. Dated around 2520 B.C.

The Pyramid of Menkaure. Dated around 2490 B.C.

More recent research has indicated that nowhere near as many people as originally believed was involved in the construction of the pyramid. In truth, perhaps only around 5,000 were actually on the building site, although there were an equivalent number of support people. However, for the time these were immense groups which would not be matched for centuries.

they were not many scribes....and they needed messengers,or people who kept track of who died and was born to this world..........................(student of clifton)

Ancient Mesopotamians were primarily known for their pottery. Sports and theater were two other activities (wrestling appears to be the most popular sport of the time).

The names of schools in Mesopotamia was "edubbas," (tablet houses) where only boys could attend.

The lost library of Alexandria, Egypt is better known in the West, but Alexander the Great is supposed to have been inspired by seeing the library at Nineveh!

The library at Nineveh was primarily collected during the 7th century BCE during the reign of Ashurbanipal, who is the first known figure to have collected information resources actively and widely in a systematic fashion, instead of just archiving records produced on site. According to the description of the database compiled by Jeannette Fincke, the surviving texts cover many subjects, and include works on astronomy, medicine, and mathematics, guides to astrology and divination, legal contracts, liturgical texts, epics, histories, grammars, and correspondence.

The British Museum excavated this site in the 19th-20th centuries and recovered about 30,000 cuneiform tablets and fragments, which gives an idea of the extent and importance of this collection. The British Museum and the University of Mosul (Iraq) are working cooperatively to interpret this treasure trove in light of modern understandings of the ancient literatures involved.

Some of the contributions were things like school and cuneiform, which is wedged shape writing in clay. This made possible the first literature, poetry, letters, bills, and accounting systems, they also invented the wheel, the first wheeled vehicles and many of the farm tools that are still used such as hoes, shovels, and rakes. The Phoenicians created the first alphabet. Some of their letters are still used today, though somewhat changed in form. The Mesopotamians also made ziggurats, which were sacred 'mountain' temples to their gods. Egyptians later borrowed the idea of step-shaped buildings and converted them into pyramids. Ancient Mesopotamians invented the system by which we still keep time using base 20. They devised the twelve month calendar which we still use. The calendar they developed used constellations to tell time, from this study of the stars came astrology. They developed the first mathematics and geometry. King Hammurabi is credited with the idea of written laws. Some Mesopotamians began to worship one god instead of many, a belief that is central to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. They built two of the wonders of the ancient world: the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the royal tomb at Halicarnassus. The Hittites were the first to make and use iron weapons which revolutionized warfare.

The name of the mother goddess of Mesopotamia was Ninhursag also spelled Ninsun. In Inca mythology the mother goddess was named Pachamama.

scientists say it was around 40, but nobody knows!

Mesopotamia means land between rivers. It was a region in 3000 B.C.

If you know about Mesopotamia economy, you will know how the financial situation was during the dawn of civilization. Primarily trade and commerce which led to economic development, was triggered after the farmers learned the art of irrigating their land. Slowly, they found they could easily grow more food than they could possibly eat. They learnt how to sell the surplus for goods and services.

It is pretty simple; they catch fish.

Food, drinks, clothing, jewelery, wine, and other goods

yes

No one, it is thought that the highest level was for a shrine to the local god.

Successful farming practices and food surpluses affected growth in Mesopotamia because they had more food. and it would be leftover and spoil

The answer is it had a professional army. hope this was helpful! 😁👍

The ancient city of Kish, also known as Sumer, is located near Tell al-Uhaymir in Iraq. It was the ancient city of Sumer in Mesopotamia and gained prominence in 3100 BC.

Democracy had its roots in the city-state of Athens, where a people, tired of being exploited by ts aristocracy, was led by Cleisthenes to form an assembly of the lower classes to make the decisions of government. This idea spread to many other Greek city-states and for a period became the norm. This Greek idea was taken up in Rome where popular assemblies dictated the government decisions. They faded for a couple of thousands of years but re-emerged in modern times in parliamentary government in modern times.

The sacred text of Mesopotamia is Old Aramaic, otherwise known as Assyrian, which was once a very common language in the Middle East thousands of years ago, but due to constant wars and battles, eventually, the entire country of the Assyrians(Mesopotamia/Assyria) was taken over by other countries, but there are still some Assyrians around, right here in Australia. There country may be taken away from them, but there true culture and identity will always be with them.

They were the first written codified laws that all could see.

You could be less of a d*ck by actually giving the answer. It's Mesopotamia, Greece, Rome. Wipe that smile off. This sh*t ain't funny.

Yes :)
