Ancient Civilization 
Mesopotamia
Location: In the text it said that Mesopotamia once extended into parts of present day Turkey, Syria and southwestern Iran. On page 6 it said that "most of ancient mesopotamia lay within the borders of iraq." (Steele 6)
Writing: they had a certain writing called a "Cuneiform." The writing used up to 700 different symbols and/or pictographs. They get the writing by pressing a stylus or a special stick in to the clay to make markings. Then the marks develop over time.
Art: Mesopotamian art survives in a number of forms: cylinder seals, relatively small figures in the round, and reliefs of various sizes, including cheap plaques of moulded pottery for the home, some religious and some apparently not.
Architecture: They made big reed houses and they also made ziggurats made out of mud, sticks, and straw. They also used bricks for bridges
Religion: Mesopotamian religion was polytheistic, with followers worshipping several main gods and thousands of minor gods. The three main gods were Ea Sumerian Enki the god of wisdom and magic, Anu the sky god and Enlil Ellil the god of earth, storms and agriculture and the controller of fates.
Goverment:They based most of their government on religion and lords. They called their kiengir which may have meant "city state rulers.
