In the social life of Mesopotamia, they took pride in what they made and what they did. Some things they made were required. Now we use technology for brains. But in Mesopotamia they make EVERYTHING by hand. Im nit saying that we dont make stuff by hand now but not as much. Because in Mesopotamia days, they didn't have the technology that we have today. The structures or art that Mesopotamians made were also educational and detailed. Most of what Mesopotamians made is what we relie on today.

Which some people believed in there own religion. All the religions had different languages. It is known that the religion that people believe through there ancestors, and what the ancestors believed in. There is different beliefs just In Mesopotamia. Gods represented places and power in ancient Mesopotamia. The priest were one of the most important parts of the Mesopotamia structures. Temples are all around in the city. The religion in Mesopotamia gave the world its first Mythology. According to some people, gods weren't just viewed mystically. But to them, were to be seen as top masters that were to be obeyed and feared.
Intellectual This is some more information about intellectual knowledge in Ancient Mesopotamia. In the social life of Mesopotamia, there is a lot of inventions that was in the Mesopotamia time period. Mesopotamia created stuff that we have to relie on today. They made things such as wheels, ships, wagons, and more. Mesopotamians invented and made these items so they can sell the items for medicines. The medicine was for their sick people. The oldest wheel was found in Mesopotamia. It was likely around 3200 BC. With their inventions, Mesopotamians made a lot of carving in rocks. They would carve their building ideas and they would carve pictures, and they would even carve there math. The Mesopotamians were like mathematical musicians. Which they would have to be good at math or other wise how do you think they would have built all of the structures and do all of the other math like stuff they do.
Technology This is some information about the technology in Ancient Mesopotamia. Mesopotamia technology is way different then the technology in today's world. Technology back then was different because they basically had to make everything by hand. They didn't have the machines like they do now. That's why they did a lot of there work on rocks and different objects. I think that the technology today is very helpful, but I also back then was good too. Because they actually used there Brains and took time and pride in what they did. Im not saying that people today are dumb, I'm just saying that the technology today might just be making this society dumber. Because people today think that technology will do all the work for them. That's what I meant when I said technology might be making people dumber. So I admire those people in the Mesopotamian days for there work and their required work.
Environment This is some information about the looks of the Mesopotamia environment. Back in Mesopotamia days, they had a lot of unique structures. Once again, since this was a very long time ago. All of there stuff looks or is different then ours today. Back in the days of Mesopotamia they had temples, statues, buildings made out of concrete. Mostly all of there buildings and such were concrete. They were made out of concrete because they did not have all of the materials that we have today. They don't have street lights, light bulbs, and electricity, and so much more.
