Ancient Mesopotamia centered around family life, religion, and rulers. Family roles were divided by gender, with women responsible for childcare and household tasks. Men had more power and boys were trained for their father's trade. The religion was polytheistic, worshipping gods like Anu, Enki, and Nanna. Major rulers included Gilgamesh, Naram-Sin, and Hammurabi, who established one of the earliest legal codes. Important cities included Babylon on the Euphrates River, known for the Hanging Gardens and later captured by Cyrus the Great.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

26. 1. How did your topic fit into
the daily life of your particular
civilization in the era that you
are covering?
Ancient Mesopotamia fits into our daily
life by how there was so many heroic rulers.
27. 2. What was it about your topic
that makes it unique to our
study of world history?
To me, my topic is unique to our study
in the world history by how the people lived.
It is very interesting to learn how the children
where raised and they society.
28. 3. How would you have felt
about your topic if you had
been living during the era you
are covering?
I think I would have actually liked to live
in Ancient Mesopotamia. They had a lot of
very well known rulers and hero’s. The life
style would not be bad, but I would probably
have a problem with taking care of the
house and children everyday.
29. 4. How has your topic changed
over the years?
Ancient Mesopotamia has changed
over the years by how the region is now and
the life style. All the children are aloud to go
to school now. Also they have only one ruler
for the whole region.
30. 5. What new information did
you learn about your topic that
you didn’t already know?
One big thing that I learn was that they
could get divorces. It is interesting that they
would have to pay a fine and if they had
children, only the mother would be
punished. I thought it was awful that if a
mother got caught cheating she would be
kill, but if a father did he would just be
punished.
