I noticed from the reading that daily life in Mesopotamia was like telling me what they do in their everyday lives like what girl wear. Girls wore loose-fitting dresses fastened at the shoulders, men in the upper and middle class have to shave their hair, and also Architects, scribes, merchants, farmers, cattlemen, and fishermen la-bored in the cities. They were paid in goods and food, not money. Slaves were either prisoners of war or families sold into slavery to pay off debts. The king appointed members of the  aristocracy as high priests, counselors, and generals in the army. And also The men performed their official duties, boys went to school, women ran the household, and girls learned from their mothers.

the text said that " The people trusted the priests and the priestesses in the temples to tell them what the gods wanted, and they followed the holy leaders' commands without question" which tells me that the gods wanted their temple to have feasts and other traitions and wanted the temple to be in power.

the next important sentence is about the god for example "The dingir controlled four realms in t!:te universe: An was the god of T.S. Denison &: Co., Inc. heaven, Enlil was the air-god, EnId was the water-god, and Ninhursag was the mother earth-goddess. Enlil was also called the "father of the gods." He set up the me, or laws of the universe, but he broke the laws and was banished to the underworld. Enki, the water-"god, was then put in charge of the me, and organized the universe. There were·other important deities in Mesopotamia. Utu, the sun-god, lit the world with rays shooting from his shoulders. He moved across the sky in a chariot. Ur's patron god, Nanna, was the moon-.  god, who used a  boat to travel by night. "

The text said that " The most famous and powerful city in ancient Sumeria was the city-state of Ur, located on the  Euphrates River. Many wealthy landowners and some slaves lived in Ur, but the largest group was the working class. The main export from the area was wool cloth, which was made from the wool of sheep. Other people in the city worked in service to the king or the priests" which tells me that the city was very developed and wealthy.

# data[].attributes.body
I noticed that the jobs they had were architects, scribes, merchants, farmers, cattlemen, and fishermen.
The boys went to school and the women taught their daughter's how to run the house and take care of it, while the men went to work. Also they were paid with food not money. So they didn't have to pay for much stuff.

the text says:The geography and climate varied in the region. Northern Mesopotamia was a plateau with a mild climate. Summers were long and hot in southern Mesopotamia. Its alluvial plains were flooded each year by the Tigris and Euphrates and re fertilized by rich silt. It was the most valuable farmland in the Arabian area and many tribes fought over  it.

The text says "Seven thousand years ago it included the area that is now eastern Syria, southeastern Turkey, and most of Iraq. It ranged from the Tarsus Mountains in the north to the Persian Gulf in the south and from the Zagros Mountains in the east to the Syrian Desert in the west."This paragraph is important because it shows me that the Mesopotamia civilization is big and stretch over many land to let every family have a home. And have farm to feed everyone

In the text, It says that "The largest structure in the city was the ziggurat, or temple to the gods. The three-tiered, seventy-foot-high temple created many jobs for builders and bricklayers and for the temple staff when it was finished." This tells me that the temple was very important to people since it created many jobs.

The most famous and powerful city in ancient Sumeria was the city-state of Ur, located on the . Euphrates River near the Persian Gulf. Ur was a major center for commerce and trade from 3500 .to 1850 B.C.   Also that  If they were not involved in trade, the working class labored on huge farms. Major crops were wheat, barley, dates, and vegetables. The main export from the area was wool cloth, which was made from the wool of sheep.

# data[].attributes.body
The text states that "the city of Ur declined for two reasons. As time went on, a shift in the course of the Euphrates River isolated Ur from river traffic and trade". This tells me that trade was so important to cities in Mesopotamia that without people regularly trading items, the cities would rapidly decline.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The text also states that there were "invaders from the southeast, called Elamites", who "conquered Ur". Based on this information, I can infer that cities in Mesopotamia did not have the best defense mechanisms, making them vulnerable to attack.

The text states, "The city became wealthy because of the working class, who were accomplished textile workers, ship builders, weapon makers, potters, jewel-ers, metal workers, artists, and fishermen. If they were not involved in trade, the working class labored on huge farms. Major crops were wheat, barley, dates, and vegetables. The main export from the area was wool cloth, which was made from the wool of sheep.". This tells me that cities in Mesopotamia depended greatly on the people living in them to sustain it.

Some things I learned from my reading about the Daily Life in Mesopotamia is that  people in different classes had different lives,  the classes are: aristocracy, the working class, and the slaves.

The aristocracy class lived a good life because they were rich and owned much land, they had fancy homes with a lot of rooms, and for fun they were entertained by singers and games.
The largest class was the working class, it was made by architects, scribes, merchants farmers, cattlemen, fishermen and more. They were paid in goods and food not money.
The slaves were either prisoners or families sold to pay off debts.

# data[].attributes.body
In the text it stated ¨When they were not helping their husbands, mothers trained daughters to run a household. Depending on their wealth, working-class families lived in modest single-story homes of mud and brick. Men of the upper and middle classes shaved their heads and wore kilts around their waists. Women braided their hair and wore loose-fitting dresses fastened at the shoulders. Slaves were either prisoners of war or families sold into slavery to pay off debts.¨

Mesopotamians looked to religion to answer their questions about life and death, good and evil, and the forces of nature. They believed that each city and larger city-state belonged to a patron god or goddess

In the text it says They had feasts, marriages, children, and wars. They could be jealous, angry, joyful, or kind. The dingir controlled four realms in the universe.

In my text it state that:¨There is no country called Mesopotamia today. Seven thousand years ago it included the area that is now eastern Syria, southeastern Turkey, and most of Iraq¨. I think that this is important because it teaches me about how  island change over time.and that the island had a different name and now there isn't an island name anymore. these effects me by building my knowledge on how time was different then today.

Mesopotamia ranged to the Taurus mountains the Persian gulf the zagros mountains and the Syrian desert and had lots of area and lots of people farmed there. Also people fought over it which means the this land was very valued by lots because of the land and there crops

The text says that "northern Mesopotamia was a plateau with a mild climate. Summers were long and hot in southern Mesopotamia." This line is important because it shows how the land was when it existed.

¨It was the most valuable farmland in the Arabian area and many tribes fought over  it.¨ This line is important because it shows that the farmland is valuable. For example, the farmland has rich soil, its rich with food, its the most valuable farmland in the area, and its fought over by tribes.

According to the text "They believed that each city and larger city-state belonged to a patron god or goddess who owned everything and everyone in the city."

The geography and climate varied in the region. Northern Mesopotamia was a plateau with a mild climate." I think this peace of evidence is because it really shows out in the shows what climate zone there in.
