Religion:
For much of its history, Mesopotamia was not a single, unified empire but a collection of independent city-states, each with its own ruler. These early governments were theocracies where a king or priest-king ruled as a representative of the city's god. Eventually, certain rulers, like Sargon of Akkad and Hammurabi of Babylon, established larger empires that centralized power and created standardized codes of law.

Writing: In mesopotamia people had written in a way called cuneiform. I know this because on page 12 it said. "The Sumerians devised the world's first script or writing." Also they would write on and draw symbols mostly on clay.

Architecture: In mesopotamia they made architecture called Ziggurats. I know this because on page 24 it says "They were massive terrorist platforms made of bricks" They were 3-4 stories tall.

Art: The author wrote that the Mesopotamians were really good with technology and crafts. Also we know that " Using low, horizontal looms, women wove cloth from wool, then linen, and, from the eighth century BCE, cotton." They also were working with a lot of metal work
