Description:s/t: Its Remains, Language, History, Religion, Commerce, Law, Art & LiteratureWhat we understand about ancient cultures of Mesopotamia we know mostly from the Babylonians & Assyrians. These ancient peoples had developed a manner of writing, known as cuneiform, that were preserved on clay tablets & survive to this day. As a result of the combined efforts of explorers, decipherers, archeologists & others, the histories of these civilizations have been raised from beneath the mounds, which hid their secrets for millennia. These city-states are credited with developing some of civilization's firsts, from experiments in agriculture, the domestication of animals, & the establishment of a marketplace, to the origin of mathematics, our concept of time reckoning & a fundamental understanding of our code of laws. Babylonians & Assyrians, along with their predecessors, the Sumerians, provided subsequent civilizations, including our own, the basis for civilized living. This work attempts to present a study of the unprecedented civilizations that flourished in the Tigris-Euphrates Valley thousands of years ago.
