Religion: In the text it said they where polytheistic. Polytheistic is when a civilization worships many gods. I know this because the text says "They believe in the horned moon God Nanna and they believed that shooting star where cows of sin." Also saying that hey have many gods including, Ninhursag, Nintu, Nammu, Nippur, and ishtar. (Steele 14)

Art: One page 28 it says that in 3500 BCE they created pottery in the middle east. In the text it said "they created the potters wheel which made potter production more efficient." They created Bedouin which women did for over 4,000 years. (Steele 28)
Writing: In the text it said that the mesopotamians used wet clay slabs with sharp sticks to record events. At first they used pictures to represent objects. Then they used clay tablets to make it easier. They didn't start writing till 3300 BC. (Steele 12)
