• What were the cultural, social, and political features of the civilization that developed along the banks of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers?
![Page 3: UEQ](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5681454a550346895db21917/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
LEQ
• What new challenges did city life present, and what inventions were created to make life easier?
• How was this society divided?
• Explain how the city design reflected the social structure.

Geography
• Mesopotamia is located in what is present day Iraq.
• What do we currently know about Iraq?
![Page 5: UEQ](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5681454a550346895db21917/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Geography
• Mesopotamia is located on the Fertile Crescent.
• The Fertile Crescent is so named because it is perfect for farming.
• Draw the Fertile Crescent on your map.
![Page 6: UEQ](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5681454a550346895db21917/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Geography
• “Mesopotamia” means the land between two rivers.
• Mesopotamia is located between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.
• Draw the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers on your map.
![Page 7: UEQ](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5681454a550346895db21917/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Geography
• Each year, these two rivers would flood. What does flood mean?
• When the river would flood, the water would deposit silt on the land.
• Silt: ________________________________________
• Draw silt on your map.
![Page 8: UEQ](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5681454a550346895db21917/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Geography
• To the north of Mesopotamia was a huge body of water known as the Mediterranean Sea.
• To the south of Mesopotamia was another body of water called the Persian Gulf.
• Draw these two bodies of water on your map.
![Page 9: UEQ](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5681454a550346895db21917/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Mesopotamia: Review
• Remember that Mesopotamia was perfect for farming because it was located between two rivers that flooded each year depositing rich soil.
• What is another name for this soil?

Controlling the Rivers
• The Mesopotamians needed ways to control the rivers so that their fields kept enough water, not too much or too little.
![Page 13: UEQ](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5681454a550346895db21917/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Dike
• The Mesopotamians built DIKES, or dams, that kept the water in until it was needed.
• When water was needed for the fields, the dikes were removed.
![Page 14: UEQ](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5681454a550346895db21917/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Canals
• Mesopotamians also built CANALS, or waterways that carried the water to the exact location it was needed.
![Page 15: UEQ](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5681454a550346895db21917/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• This control over water lead to wonderful farming. The Mesopotamians were able to grow so much food that they could eat some, store some, and trade some.
• This great amount of food lead to two more inventions.
![Page 16: UEQ](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5681454a550346895db21917/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Cart
• The Mesopotamians invented the CART for use in carrying farming materials and food.
• This cart looks very much like a wagon.
![Page 17: UEQ](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5681454a550346895db21917/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Wheel
• In order for the cart to work, the Mesopotamians had to invent the WHEEL.
• The first wheels were made out of wood and copper.
![Page 18: UEQ](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5681454a550346895db21917/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Purpose
• The reason these new inventions were created by the Mesopotamians was to make their everyday lives easier.
• Controlling the rivers saved many lives and gave them much food.
• The creation of the cart and wheel made carrying loads of food materials from place to place easier for the workers.

Quick Review
• Name two inventions that helped Mesopotamians control the rivers.
• Name two inventions that made life easier for the field workers.
• Why was this new technology invented?
![Page 21: UEQ](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5681454a550346895db21917/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
City Design
![Page 22: UEQ](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5681454a550346895db21917/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Ziggurat
• A Mesopotamian Ziggurat was the middle of each city-state.
• These ziggurats were used as temples (worship places) for the gods, housing for the king and priests, and offices for government workers.
![Page 23: UEQ](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5681454a550346895db21917/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Ziggurat
• The Ziggurat looked like a step pyramid, with each layer getting smaller and smaller.
• The very top of the ziggurat was the smallest part of the ziggurat and was the temple for the gods.
![Page 24: UEQ](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5681454a550346895db21917/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
2-Story House
• The 2-Story houses were located next the ziggurat.
• People of importance lived here, such as government workers and scribes.
![Page 25: UEQ](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5681454a550346895db21917/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
1-Story Houses
• 1-story houses were located outside of the 2-story houses… farther away from the ziggurat.
• Craftsmen, merchants, and farmers lived here.
![Page 26: UEQ](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5681454a550346895db21917/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Farm Land
• Farm land was located on the edge of the city-state and close to the 1-story houses of the farmers.
![Page 27: UEQ](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5681454a550346895db21917/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
City-State Wall
• The city-state wall was built around the entire city.
• This wall provided protection from outsiders for all people living in the city, and for the farmland located inside.
![Page 28: UEQ](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5681454a550346895db21917/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
