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. ]]> 2017-10-06 13:39:50 UTC https://padlet.com/24williamsonbethany/fhawsm0rcex1/wish/194679189 24williamsonbethany https://padlet.com/24williamsonbethany/fhawsm0rcex1/wish/195572024 - Babylonia
1- This city began its rise to power in 1792 BC when Hammurabi took the throne.
2- Within a few years, Hammurabi had conquered all of Mesopotamia including much of the Assyrian to the North.
3- Babylon became the largest city in the world at that time with as many as 200,000 people living there.]]> 2017-10-10 13:14:42 UTC https://padlet.com/24williamsonbethany/fhawsm0rcex1/wish/195572024 24williamsonbethany https://padlet.com/24williamsonbethany/fhawsm0rcex1/wish/196008036  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.]]> 2017-10-11 13:26:00 UTC https://padlet.com/24williamsonbethany/fhawsm0rcex1/wish/196008036 24williamsonbethany https://padlet.com/24williamsonbethany/fhawsm0rcex1/wish/196276063 2017-10-12 04:12:23 UTC https://padlet.com/24williamsonbethany/fhawsm0rcex1/wish/196276063 24williamsonbethany https://padlet.com/24williamsonbethany/fhawsm0rcex1/wish/196277231 -Benefits of the Tigris and Euphrates river valley.
