OK sit back and get comfortable because the new king Hammurabi has arrived! Hammurabi was the 6th king in the Babylonian dynasty which ruled in central Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq) from c. 1894 to 1595 B.C. His family was descended from the Amorites, a semi-nomadic tribe in western Syria and his name reflects a mix of cultures: Hammu is "family" in Amorite rapi meaning "great" in Akkadian, the everyday language of Babylon.

In the 30th year of his reign, Hammurabi began to expand his kingdom up and down the Tigris and Euphrates river valley overthrowing the kingdoms of Assyria, Larsa, Eshunna, and Mari until all of Mesopotamia was under his way.

This is a picture of an ancient irrigation system. It's the new thing! It sort of looks like water slide, but it's not! I think this is the most important invention Mesopotamia has come up with, because it helps grow crops better and makes it easier to water plants for food. Irrigation is the supply of water to land or crops to help growth, typically by means of channels.
