GR. 6 C15 BOYS - Mesopotamia: Land of Firsts by

As Mesopotamia was “the land of firsts,” it’s not surprising that this is where scholars believe writing first developed,

in about 3400 BCE. Using the clay common to Mesopotamia, people began carving symbols into soft clay. As the

clay dried and hardened in the Sun, it became much more durable. Thanks to the climate of Mesopotamia, these

clay tablets have been preserved for thousands of years. The Sumerians wrote in a script called cuneiform.

Yes, they were. When harvests were plentiful, food could be stored and traded for items that could not be found locally.

Mesopotamian city-states traded items such as wheat, barley, reeds, and clay pottery with other societies. In

return, Mesopotamians received goods such as metals, wood, and precious stones like lapis lazuli from societies

in Egypt, India, and Afghanistan.

Mesopotamia did invent the first writing systems, laws, and invented the calendar we use today and the contributions of other societies compared to Mesopotamia look small so Mesopotamia contributed the most to the society we have today.

Yes, Mesopotamia did create writing and laws but also other civilizations contributed too, other civilizations in the Fertile Crescent also started farming, but Mesopotamia created writing and laws witch other civilizations did not create.

Yes, Mesopotamia was a land of first. Writing, laws, empires, kings, irrigations, those were all made first by Mesopotamia. We also use Mesopotamia’s geographical discoveries. We use the 24-hour , 60-minute 60-second time made by them 5,000 years ago! Not only that, but Mesopotamians were smart as they settled near rivers, made surplus food, specialization labor, and thrived. They wrote predictions on eclipses that have happened.
