They could use the Fertile Crescent to get nice farm land and land to build houses or raise animals and their population will grow and that would be good to settle
their because they can have nice fresh vegetables and fruits or meat, and other things that the animals gave them, like milk.  Rivers give water to water cops and it will give drinking water to humans and animals.The Fertile Crescent gave good land for the people to farm and build houses and they could possibly raise animals.

Governments also created laws to make Mesopotamia a better place with laws so no one will do bad things to harm others or to harm the environment. The Hammurabi’s laws tell me that Messopotamia wants everyone to be well mannered so they wouldn’t steal or harm others, and they want to be a safe environment for people to live and thrive.  The Hammurabi’s laws is important to Messopotamia because less crimes like stealing or doing harm will be prevented because of their displents in their laws, and that would make people not want to commit crimes because of the punishment of doing a crime was usually bad. It is important today because people might of heard of their laws and started to copy it and change a little so the world would be a complex community because not a lot of people will do bad things and laws are important to states and towns because without them it would be crazy and Mesopotamia is like an early example for laws and it could of possibly influenced other governments to create similar laws.

The middle class had farmers, fishermen, merchants, and artisans. Some Artisans probably had to learn about materials and metal and how to craft and melt the metals to make tools. Slaves were at the bottom class and they were taken from war and they had to obey their masters all the time. The classes were created to balance it out and not everyone will do the same things, so work will be done faster.  Also if everyone was king and no one knew how to farm or raise food, then they would all die. ]]> 2019-10-14 01:40:21 UTC https://padlet.com/drmccoy3_2/gfdovnyfoo58/wish/397227281 Religion drmccoy3_2 https://padlet.com/drmccoy3_2/gfdovnyfoo58/wish/397227606 Mesopotamia's religion was Sumerian and they built buildings called ziggurats people believed that gods lived in their and they would go in the middle of the ziggurat to ask the gods or god for blessings, Ziggurats were made of mud bricks and they usually had super long staircases. They would build statues which were super detailed and realistic, they showed that they worshiped the god or gods.  the belief influenced daily life and people would come together and be able to connect with others more. ]]> 2019-10-14 01:41:54 UTC https://padlet.com/drmccoy3_2/gfdovnyfoo58/wish/397227606 Art drmccoy3_2 https://padlet.com/drmccoy3_2/gfdovnyfoo58/wish/397232689 some examples of art in Mesopotamia were jewelry, mirrors and ziggurats were also a form of art, music was also art in Mesopotamia, They also carved things in the wood on the instruments.

It was used to record information on gods to show on and another, it was also pictograph writing, pictographs are symbols that stand for objects. Sumerians were the ones who used cuneiform. the purpose was to record things possibly of gods and to possibly communicate and it would help interact with others. ]]> 2019-10-14 02:32:05 UTC https://padlet.com/drmccoy3_2/gfdovnyfoo58/wish/397238386
