In this volume Marc Van De Mieroop examines the evolution of the very earliest cities which, for millennia, inspired the rest of the ancient world. The city determined every aspect of Mesopotamian civilization, and the political and social structure, economy, literature, and arts of Mesopotamian culture cannot be understood without acknowledging their urban background. - ;Urban history starts in ancient Mesopotamia: the earliest known cities developed there as the result of long indigenous processes, and, for millennia, the city determined every aspect of Mesopotamian civilization. Marc Van De Mieroop examines urban life in the historical period, investigating urban topography, the role of cities as centres of culture, their political and social structures, economy, literature, and the arts. He draws on material from the entirety of Mesopotamian history, from c. 3000 to 300 BC, and from both Babylonia and Assyria, arguing that the Mesopotamian city can be regarded as a prototype that inspired the rest of the ancient world and shared characteristics with the European cities of antiquity. -

This book was released on 2022-03-07 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When you're planning a field trip or looking for fun facts about ancient Mesopotamia, keep these points in mind. The region was a prime location for human settlement and was near the Euphrates and Tigris rivers. Its geography and good weather conditions made it an excellent place to build cities, so the region was the perfect place to develop the earliest civilizations. The area was populated for over a million years and was the site of several empires. Many people who lived in this region developed advanced civilizations, including the first known urban civilizations. Sumer was the heartland of ancient Mesopotamia, and the city of Eridu is considered the first city in the world.The Mesopotamian civilization was highly advanced and had many achievements. It was one of the earliest civilisations to adopt writing and was home to the earliest human communities. This civilization was also the cradle of the Neolithic Revolution, which began around 10,000 BC. During this time, the human race made great strides and developed the first written language, cursive script, and mathematics.The first written works were created in Mesopotamia. The Akkadian Empire was the first multi-national realm in history. Enheduanna, the daughter of Sargon the Great, is the first author known by name. The palace in Mari had over 20,000 cuneiform tablets, and the library was one of the best in the region. Assyrian Kingdoms spread and fought each other in an effort to conquer the area. The Guti Tribe took over and dominated the politics of Mesopotamia for more than a thousand years.
Download or read book Sumer written by Charles River Charles River Editors and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-03-26 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Includes pictures *Includes ancient accounts *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading When American archaeologists discovered a collection of cuneiform tablets in Iraq in the late 19th century, they were confronted with a language and a people who were at the time only scarcely known to even the most knowledgeable scholars of ancient Mesopotamia: the Sumerians. The exploits and achievements of other Mesopotamian peoples, such as the Assyrians and Babylonians, were already known to a large segment of the population through the Old Testament and the nascent field of Near Eastern studies had unraveled the enigma of the Akkadian language that was widely used throughout the region in ancient times, but the discovery of the Sumerian tablets brought to light the existence of the Sumerian culture, which was the oldest of all the Mesopotamian cultures. Although the Sumerians continue to get second or even third billing compared to the Babylonians and Assyrians, perhaps because they never built an empire as great as the Assyrians or established a city as enduring and great as Babylon, they were the people who provided the template of civilization that all later Mesopotamians built upon. The Sumerians are credited with being the first people to invent writing, libraries, cities, and schools in Mesopotamia (Ziskind 1972, 34), and many would argue that they were the first people to create and do those things anywhere in world. For a people so great it is unfortunate that their accomplishments and contributions, not only to Mesopotamian civilization but to civilization in general, largely go unnoticed by the majority of the public. Perhaps the Sumerians were victims of their own success; they gradually entered the historical record, established a fine civilization, and then slowly submerged into the cultural patchwork of their surroundings. They also never suffered a great and sudden collapse like other peoples of the ancient Near East, such as the Hittites, Assyrians and Neo-Babylonians did. A close examination of Sumerian culture and chronology reveals that the Sumerians set the cultural tone in Mesopotamia for several centuries in the realms of politics/governments, arts, literature, and religion. Even today, the world owes the Sumerians a tremendous amount. When Western Europe was still in the Stone Age, it was the Sumerians who invented writing and the wheel, divided time into minutes and seconds, tamed nature, and built gigantic cities. They embraced culture and the arts, and their caravans crossed the desert, opening up the first trade routes. Their myths and legends inspired various origin stories, and their memory lives on in the Old Testament. They wrote the history of the birth of mankind. The heritage of the Sumerian civilization and their successors is everywhere. Sumer: The History of the Cities and Culture that Established Ancient Mesopotamia's First Civilization chronicles the most important people, places, and events that took place across Sumer. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about Sumer like never before.
