Mesopotamia

today in class we watched the video again and took notes on it. We also discussed a lot about the movies. Indianapolis is the largest city not located near water. Thankfully, Mr Schick let Holly, Kelley, Julia, and I get our jackets during class because the classroom was so cold. For homework we are supposed to read the first half of the section of the book based on Mesopotania and take notes. So that's what I'm going to do and here are my notes: lasted for more than 3,000 years, located between the Tirgris and the Euphrates river, "Sumer" was the land of rivers and little rainfall and irrigation was key, 3500 bc- climate change (easier irrigation, new villages), landscape then began to dry, new problems = new solutions, system of ranks, there were personal gods, gods and humans could interbreed, many traditions, and developed one of the first writing systems
