Sumer

Because they did not have enough armies and enough people for there armies.

Ancient Egypt was the civilization that grew up around the Nile River. Sumeria is the earliest known civilization (the Cradle of Civilization) and began in what is now southern Iraq, in Mesopatamia. They gave us writing, the wheel and many other things.

they both grew strong

Scribes were graduates that were professional writers. Scribes combined symbols to make groups of wedges and lines known as cuneiform. Cuneiform represented many different languages.

The Sumerians made many cultural contributions that are still in use today. The Epic of Gilgamesh is the longest surviving literary achievement known to man. The Sumerians also pioneered the brick making and brick work of modern times.

In much the same way that modern Christians try to please their God, the Sumerians pleased their gods in order to bring good fortune upon themselves. They accepted the priests as their religious leaders because they were intermediaries between the people and the gods.

Sumerians believed their gods had the power to do anything they wanted because they made empire.

The Sumerians developed a large trade network in part because some of the resources their civilization required were not found in Mesopotamia. Wood is especially scarce in this region so lumber became one of the key trade items for the Sumerians. But most items the Sumerians traded for were those not available in Mesopotamia.

The temples were called Ziggurats! The answer came from one of Mrs.O's students. BLUE CREW Answer: ZIGGURATS

Women did have rights. They could buy and sell property. They could also run buisnessess.

well not all people thought it was a good idea but they needed a social pyramid or everyone would be at the same range and level plus it wouldn't make sense if a pharaoh didn't have slaves

Objects have been found that were traded between the two and in each other's area. If I make a pot in India and trade or sell it to you in Italy that pot would be found in Italy but it would be clear that it wasn't made there. Not only are items traded between cultures but inventions and technology. If someone invents an item in country A and one like it is found in country B historians know that the two cultures traded or were in communication.

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

In Sumerian social structure kings, landholders and priests were the highest and next wealth merchants and a majority of Sumerians who are slaves and farmers. Women had a lot of rights to do anything that men can do such as priesthood and artisans and other. In ancient Mesopotamia the Sumerians undertook the stupendous task of building embankments to control the floodwaters of the Euphrates River. The rich soil produced abundant crops such as wheat and barley. For the first time there was a surplus to feed city workers such as artists, craftsmen, and merchants. Good soil is good to these. This great change in living habits brought about civilized defined as a city-based society held together by economic enterprises. There were no nations then, only small city-states.

TheSumarians were a group of people native to the culture of ancient Ur situated in the southern part of present day Iraq. They are considered to be among the firstagriculturists using the water of the Euphrates to irrigate their fields and later on in the life of the city building canals for the same and also for trade, an activity in which they showed great ability, controlling trade routes further afield than Anatolia. The Sumarians are also noted along with their cousins the Babylonians for extensively using cuneiform as a means of communication most often it is though in financial activity. The religion practiced by the Sumarians was polytheistic in the extreme there was a pantheon of "state recognised deities" but each family, trade, city quarter and even individuals also had their own specific gods. In the centre of Ur was situated the great ziggurat dedicated to the moon god Nannar who was patron of the city. (Please see Abraham, Sir Leonard Wooley and The Encyclopedia Britannica)

There are many problems that Mesopotamia faced some are:

1. There are great floods that happen in this place.

2. There are not enough water for the people.

3. It was always way too hot.

4. There was no enough food.

He ruled Mesopotamia. He was king of Babylonia for a time, but eventually he came to rule all of the middle eastern world. He rebuilt Babylon after destruction. But, he is mostly known for his laws. He has 282 laws. He was also known for "The Code of Hammurabi", like an eye for an eye. Or, back then a law was like this, "if someone build somebody else's house, but the roof fall in and kills the house owner's son, they would kill the roof builders' son. so, eye for an eye, a son for a son, etc.

King Hammurabi of Babylonia lived in the capital of Babylonia, Babylon. Babylonia is in southern Mesopotamia which means "land between two rivers". Mesopotamia is between the Euphrates and the Tigris River in the Fertile Crescent. King Hammurabi was the one who created the Code of Hammurabi (a set of 282 rules for citizens of Babylon).

Everyone had to change their way of living and they all had to follow the Hammurabi's Code to live in a common surrounding.
