 Religious practices
 Mesopotamia was the first civilization of history called Sumerian
civilization. It appeared about 3500 BC ago.
 The word “Mesopotamia” means the land between rivers
 It was spread over an area 300 miles long and 150 miles wide
 It was cradle of homogenous yet diverse cultures
 It included modern day countries of Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordon,
Palestine and others
 Its northern areas consisted of plains while southern area
consisted of jungle and marine life. It is also called fertile
crescent
Living in larger communities offered a number
of advantages:
 Physical security like protection against both internal and
external aggression
 Material security like sustained supply of food and other
items of daily use
 Freedom to observe and perpetuate their ethical, moral and
cultural values
 Mesopotamia had a rich history of trade and warfare
 The first writing system cuneiform originated from
Mesopotamia
 They built dams to keep the rivers from flooding their fields
 Sumerians were the first to :
• Irrigate fields
• Develop mathematics
• Invent wheel
• Work with metal
• Devise a written law code
• Develop trade system
 It had many cites like Uruk, Aridu, Ur, Larsa and Habuba
 Each city had its own government, rulers, warriors and its
own patron god
 At the center of each city was a temple called ziggurat
( massive pyramid structure). Temple was city’s religious and
economic center
 Sumerians were religious people
 They believed in number of Gods
 They believed that the universe was ruled by these gods,
who were anthropomorphic and who represented various
natural phenomenon, for example, the city of Ur constructed
a ziggurat for Nanna, the god of the moon.
