Description
MesopotamiaIt was a place that was so technically sophisticated as much as 4,000 years ago that some of the inventions that came from there, like the wheel and the zodiac, are still in use today. The first civilisation it produced, Sumer, is also the first civilization in the world. Mesopotamia was an ancient country that occupied present-day Iraq.You may find out just how advanced these ancient humans were by taking this course in Sumerian and Mesopotamian Civilizations study. You will learn about their extraordinary understanding of irrigation and agriculture, how they created sophisticated urban cultures, and how they viewed the world through writing, art, literature, astrology, and even conflict.We look at the significance of religion in Sumerian civilization, as well as their Creation Myth, cosmology, and major gods. We also examine the development of cuneiform, the first writing system ever used, and talk about the extensive literary legacy that cuneiform sparked.In addition to learning about the first emperor, Sargon the Great, and the numerous contributions the Akkadians contributed to the world, we follow the growth and fall of the Akkadian Empire. We examine the Assyrians' ascendance to power over time, the numerous monarchs who were most influential during these times, and the contributions—both positive and negative—they made to both their own world and the world that persisted long after their empire vanished.You will learn about King Hammurabi and Nebuchadnezzar II, two of the most significant kings in the history of Babylon and Mesopotamia, who reigned during the Neo-Babylonian era. Additionally, you will explore the achievements that this magnificent city made to humanity, including the development of the zodiac and the first written laws.
