Since this water helped with the sources. It also helped with farming because you need some water for your crops so it makes it easier for them to get more food fluently. Which they would get more food than usual, which would grow the population. ]]> 2017-10-11 17:18:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ejkennedy/qd1vsu9jnv0g/wish/196132407 ejkennedy https://padlet.com/ejkennedy/qd1vsu9jnv0g/wish/196133718 The reason why the rich soil helped was because they farmed, and the soil helped them make other types of food.

And if there was no laws or governments then people could do whatever they want. And people would probably get offended by someones actions and would leave. And if people didn't have a level of power than the government wouldn't created, and people could just say they are the leader. And the government is very important because we choose who deserves the position, if nobody picked people, then people that are bad could take over.]]> 2017-10-11 17:29:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ejkennedy/qd1vsu9jnv0g/wish/196138271 ejkennedy https://padlet.com/ejkennedy/qd1vsu9jnv0g/wish/196536629 The Hammurabi code tells us that they very much want to be fair. Because in one of the codes  tell us about something happened to a man which another man did, so the man who got hurt would do the same thing to the other man who did it to him. And they do respect the people with more power. Which we do today. If you do something to the man with more power than you get punished. ]]> 2017-10-12 17:04:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ejkennedy/qd1vsu9jnv0g/wish/196536629 ejkennedy https://padlet.com/ejkennedy/qd1vsu9jnv0g/wish/196540811 The codes were important to them because it helped them have better governments and better people. And they don't like the people who hurt other people, like people who are mean.Which helped the population growth because of the fairness. And the laws and the codes they had are related to the one we have. We punish people who do things to people in higher power, people who hurt people at the same level of power still get punished. But some of them are not related. And some people like the rules they made today and want to keep them, because they made sense. That's why there important today.]]> 2017-10-12 17:12:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ejkennedy/qd1vsu9jnv0g/wish/196540811 ejkennedy https://padlet.com/ejkennedy/qd1vsu9jnv0g/wish/196546331 They were created because of the different talents.

This type of writing was only used for sounds. How they did it was that they used clay tablets to write on, ad stick like objects to write on them. This type of writing is not similar to all the writing we do now. But it was the first alphabet. The people who use this writing and created it was the group called Sumerians. And scribes use this writing, and since Sumerians used this writing, and nobody else used it, then the Scribes could've been Sumerians. 

It was important because they could send letters to people for trades, and they could use it for recordings of food, water, animals, and more. It was also for communication.
