🌍 Life in Ancient Mesopotamia: The Cradle of Civilization 🌍What if the roots of modern society—laws, markets, cities, and even schools—were planted thousands of years ago between two mighty rivers? Welcome to Ancient Mesopotamia, often called the cradle of civilization.
In this video, we’ll explore how the Sumerians, Babylonians, and Akkadians transformed harsh deserts into thriving city-states like Ur, Uruk, and Babylon. From ziggurats and temples to the Code of Hammurabi, from the first written words in cuneiform to innovations in mathematics, astronomy, and medicine—Mesopotamia set the foundation for the world we live in today.
