Chapter 3: Mesopotamia and the Fertile Crescent
The first civilizations grew up in river valleys in Asia and Africa. Such valleys provided water and fertile land for farming. In the region of the Tigris and Euphrates river valley, the Sumerians developed the world’s first civilization.

A civilization is a society with cities, a central government, workers, who specialize in certain jobs leading to social classes, that has religion, writing, art, and architecture. There is no civilization without agriculture – societies need a stable food supply before they can develop.A civilization is made up of many parts. We will use the acronym G.R.A.P.E.S. to remember them!Geography – Where is the civilization? What sort of crops can they grow? What natural resources do they have?Religion – What do the people believe? How do their beliefs affect their lives?Achievements – What did they contribute to the world? What did they invent? What did they build (architecture)?Politics – What was their government like? Who made the decisions in the society?Economy - -How did the society distribute their resources? Did they trade or use money? What did they sell or trade? What did they need to get from outside of their civilization?Social Structures – What were their social class systems? Who was considered more important in their society? What were their art, music, and recreation like?

Picture: Ziggurat at Urp. 51
Mesopotamian temples known as ziggurats served as places of worship and were the
largest, most important buildings in their cities. The photo here shows one of the most famous Mesopotamian ziggurats, the ziggurat at Ur. The ruins of the ancient Sumerian temple,
believed to have been built in about 2100BC, are located near the present-day city of
Nasiriyah, in southeastern Iraq. Attempts at restoring the ziggurat took place in the 1930s,
but only the lower level of the temple was restored. What types of technology or
knowledge were probably needed to build this temple?
