Mesopotamia was a Great Civilization by heyyoukiddo on 10-11-2006
Two history collegues were discussing the importance of Mesopotamia...
Mesopotamia! What a joke, I can't understand how some people would consider it a "great civilization". What did those darn Mesopotamians do for us anyway?
Have you fallen off a tree? They've done so much for us! What do you mean? Mesopotamia was indeed a great civilization! How could you not think that? Think of all the things that they created, and how it's affected us today! Mesopotamia was so important in the becoming of our World today!
And so one went on explaining to the other, the importance of Mesopotamia...
What do you mean, "what they did for us and how it affected us". All they are is.. well.. I'm not sure what they are. Care to explain..?
Well, take the invention of the wheel by the Sumerians. Where would we be today without a wheel? I mean we would have no mode of transportation, everything would have to be carried in our arms and we wouldn't be able to travel anywhere in cars. Because let's face it, what would a car be without wheels?
After being refreshed about it's importance, one of the collegues begins to understand...
Well I guess you do have a point, but what else did they do for us? I mean the wheel would have come along sooner or later.
Well what about cuneiform! Did you know that cuneiform was first used by the Sumerians aswell. And soon, alot of different 'tribes' starting using it to write in their own language. I guess it was the first real form of communication through writing. And really, where would we be without writing?
