The document discusses buildings and government in Mesopotamia. Mesopotamia gave rise to the world's first cities which were largely constructed from sun-dried mudbricks due to the lack of stone and timber resources. Temples centered cities and symbolized the patron deity. Homes ranged from simple reed structures to complex brick buildings. Cities and religious structures like ziggurats were built with oven-baked bricks. The gods played a vital role in Mesopotamian life and building projects required prayers and rituals for success and prosperity. Kings held power but still honored the gods, establishing laws while maintaining divine legitimacy. Religion and government were closely linked with important cities emerging around pre-Sumerian

Mesopotamian civilization
Mesopotamia was the site of one of the earliest civilizations, located between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. This region, known as the Fertile Crescent, could support agriculture due to rich soil deposits carried by seasonal floods. Several city-states arose independently, though they shared the same culture, with each having its own government. Temple ziggurats were central to cities and religion centered around polytheism. Society consisted of priests and nobility ruling over merchants, craftsmen, peasants, and slaves.

Mesopotamia
Mesopotamia, located between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in modern-day Iraq, was the site of some of the earliest human civilizations beginning around 3500 BCE. It had a favorable environment for agriculture due to natural levees and floodplains created by seasonal flooding. Mesopotamian civilizations such as the Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians, and Assyrians developed systems of irrigation, law, writing, mathematics, and organized religion centered around gods like Ishtar and Enki. Writing began as pictograms and evolved into the cuneiform script, while legal codes like Hammurabi's established early systems of law.

Later, the Akkadians and Assyrians formed large empires that ruled the region for hundreds of years, unifying the people but also demanding heavy taxes. The last great Mesopotamian empire was formed by the Chaldeans based in the great city of Babylon.
Comparison Of Early Mesopotamia and Early Egypt
Mesopotamia and ancient Egypt were both early river valley civilizations that relied heavily on irrigation from major rivers - the Tigris and Euphrates for Mesopotamia, and the Nile for Egypt. Mesopotamia introduced many innovations but saw frequent political changes, while Egypt developed a more centralized divine monarchy under the pharaoh and was able to maintain stability for over 3,000 years. Both civilizations had advanced cultures with writing systems, mathematics, and major architectural achievements like pyramids and ziggurats, but Egypt's stable government allowed it to endure while Mesopotamia suffered repeated invasions.

Turkey Aegean Coast - Priene, Miletus and Didyma
Priene, Miletus, and Didyma are three neighboring cities along the Aegean coast of ancient Asia Minor. Miletus was once an economically important city due to its four ports, but is now farther inland due to centuries of silting from river meanders. Both Miletus and Priene had impressive theaters - Priene's could hold 6,500 people, while Miletus' theater, built by the Roman Emperor Trajan, had a capacity of 25,000 and later served as a fortress. The Temple of Apollo in Didyma housed an important oracle and was one of the largest temples in Greece.
Greece -Geo + Culture NOTES #1
Early Greeks lived in isolated mountainous regions along the coast, which led them to form independent city-states rather than a single large kingdom. The Minoans created an advanced civilization on Crete centered around their palace city of Knossos, while the warlike Mycenaeans later dominated mainland Greece from their fortified cities. These empires declined but the model of the autonomous polis or city-state took hold, with each having its own government, laws, and identity. Athenian democracy later emerged, even if initially only a small percentage of the population like adult male citizens could participate.
Mesopotamia power point
Mesopotamia, located between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in modern Iraq, was the site of some of the earliest human civilizations. People first settled there due to natural levees along the rivers that protected against floods while enabling irrigation. Several successive civilizations arose in Mesopotamia over 3000 years, including the Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians, and Assyrians. These civilizations developed systems of writing like cuneiform, advanced mathematics, the wheel, and organized religion centered around temples. Though Mesopotamia faced environmental challenges like flooding and lack of resources, its civilizations left lasting legacies as the cradle of modern civilization.

For almost 30 centuries—from its unification around 3100 B.C. to.docx
For almost 30 centuries—from its unification around 3100 B.C. to its conquest by Alexander the Great in 332 B.C.—ancient Egypt was the preeminent civilization in the Mediterranean world.
Egypt’s majesty has long entranced archaeologists and historians and created a vibrant field of study all its own: Egyptology.
The main sources of information about ancient Egypt are the many monuments, objects and artifacts that have been recovered from archaeological sites, covered with hieroglyphs that have only recently been deciphered. The picture that emerges is of a culture with few equals in the beauty of its art, the accomplishment of its architecture or the richness of its religious traditions.
PREDYNASTIC PERIOD (C. 5000-3100 B.C.)
Encompassed at least 2,000 years of gradual development of the Egyptian civilization. This took place in the late Stone Age/Neolithic period.

Neolithic (late Stone Age) communities in northeastern Africa exchanged hunting for agriculture and made early advances that paved the way for the later development of Egyptian arts and crafts, technology, politics and religion (including a great reverence for the dead and possibly a belief in life after death).
Mesopotamia also believe in this religion

Around 3400 B.C., two separate kingdoms were established: the Red Land to the north, based in the Nile River Delta and extending along the Nile perhaps to Atfih; and the White Land in the south, stretching from Atfih to Gebel es-Silsila.
King Menes would subdue the north and unify the country, becoming the first king of the first dynasty.
ARCHAIC (EARLY DYNASTIC) PERIOD (C. 3100-2686 B.C.)
The Archaic Period saw the development of the foundations of Egyptian society, including the all-important ideology of kingship. To the ancient Egyptians, the king was a godlike being, closely identified with the all-powerful god Horus. The earliest known hieroglyphic writing also dates to this period.
In the Archaic Period, as in all other periods, most ancient Egyptians were farmers living in small villages, and agriculture (largely wheat and barley) formed the economic base of the Egyptian state. The annual flooding of the great Nile River provided the necessary irrigation and fertilization each year; farmers sowed the wheat after the flooding receded and harvested it before the season of high temperatures and drought returned.
OLD KINGDOM: AGE OF THE PYRAMID BUILDERS (C. 2686-2181 B.C.)
The Old Kingdom began with the third dynasty of pharaohs. Around 2630 B.C., the third dynasty’s King Djoser asked Imhotep, an architect, priest and healer, to design a funerary monument for him; the result was the world’s first major stone building, the Step-Pyramid at Saqqara, near Memphis.
Pyramid-building reached its zenith with the construction of the Great Pyramid at Giza, on the outskirts of Cairo. Built for Khufu, who ruled from 2589 to 2566 B.C. Two other pyramids were built at Giza for Khufu’s successors K.
