So, apparently, we didn't take any notes before while I was gone on Friday, and nobody noticed we were responsible for slides one through nine. But I just did.
Civilization in Mesopotamia
- Wandering nomads drove herds of domesticated animals, especially to Arabia (on the south of Sumer).
- Later, Sumer was conquered by the Akkadians (circa 2350 BC).
- Akkadian gods took place over Sumerian gods and all people were to worship them.
- Then, king Hammurabi of Babylon created "Hammurabi's Code"--a series of laws which included "an eye for an eye" and regulations that accounted for marriage, divorce, and punishments for all sorts of crimes.
The Expansion of Mesopotamian Civilization
- Indo-Europeans: people from the grasslands of the Russian steppe
- They are responsible for the horse's introduction to the Middle East.
- A war-like Indo-European tribe that was known as the Hittites settled in Asia Minor.
- The Hittites had a lucrative trade in metals, conquering nearly all of their neighbors (even including threatening Egypt).
