1. "Mesopotamia has one of the gloomiest Gods and the biggest heroes."

2. Something I feel like is pretty crazy and cool is that people thought that things like becoming sick means that a God was mad at you, and I would not say that they were dum because they did not have science so they made up things like a God had let a lightning bolt strike here because he was angry.

3. Another thing that was interesting is that kings in Mesopotamia were not Gods but Mortals, which means they were normal humans like the other people in the kingdom, so the civilians and the king had to do the right things because they thought that the Gods will become Mad and punish them.

1 The people of Mesopotamia started the first civilization, invented writing, and started the government. The world would be very different without a government. I think that it is cool to read about things in the past. I like to see how other people used to live, and how their world was so different but kinda the same at the same time.

2 There was a king and nobles who made the laws, declared wars, and decided how to honor the gods. That was the government back then and I think it is kind of the same now. The government decides things and makes big choices but the only difference between how our government works and theirs is what they are deciding.

3 I realized that the government back then is kind of the same as now. The only difference forms our government now and theirs is what the governments are deciding. So that is kinda cool.

What is Government and how does it affect Mesopotamia?

Government is a system that Creates Laws, Provides safety to the Army, Improves quality of life and provides common needs for its people, Government also gives people the opportunity to have good Jobs invent things and use resources.

How Government affects Mesopotamia

Mesopotamia or Sumer has many different jobs like collecting crops, farming and more but these jobs came because of the Government and that is also exactly how many other things came to Sumer like rules and right from wrong. Some other examples of Government in Mesopotamia are that the Babylonian king Hammurabi created a detailed system of 282 laws called the code of hammurabi.

Mesopotamia was a land of tribes, people, and languages.

Cuneiform would be considered the way language was written but not a specific language in Mesopotamia. People used cuneiform to write, cuneiform is a piece of writing on a piece of wet clay and people would press down to form. Cuneiform used to be pictures of things that acted as words but soon they made it as words which then made a language. There are 2 more languages the Babylonian language and the Assyrian language. The Babylonian language was Hammurabi’s code of law. And the Assyrian language was an ancient Semitic language that was talked in ancient Mesopotamia.

-The Sumerians are the first people in Mesopotamia to make written language this is called cuneiform (5000 BC). It began as a pictograph (pictures of things that acted as words). After the pictograph, the Sumerians started to use wedge-shaped symbols for objects and ideas.

-With these written records left behind you probably wonder what did they list. The Sumerians were excellent at records and lists of things so there is a lot like lists of household goods, court activity, sales, and purchases. They even kept a list of their new kings who came to power, the Sumerians never invented paper or ink but they did use tools made of wood or stiff reeds to press symbols into clay tablets.

-Cuniform is very hard to read that experts found it puzzling. So how did they read it? They had to look harder and thankfully to Henry Rawlinson for finding a carved picture in the cave wall. this picture looked like the East Indian language( he already knew how to write it and speak it). So he figured out some words in cuniform. Thanks to him we know things that the Sumerians wrote.
