1.  Describe the Sumerian invention that you think is most important and then back up your answer with at least 2 supporting details explaining how or why this invention changed people’s lives.

The Sumerian invention that I believe is most important is the invention of Cuneiform, an ancient system of writing. Cuneiform was first developed in 3500-3000 BCE by the ancient Sumerians of Mesopotamia. There are many reasons why this invention was so important. Cuneiform writing was used to write stories, letters, and myths. As well as that, it was used to record a variety of information  such as temple activities, business, and trade.  

2.  Suppose you lived in Babylon during Hammurabi’s reign. Do you think his Code of Laws was fair? Explain why or why not using at least 2 supporting details that back up your answer.

Hammurabi’s Code of Laws was a collection of 282 rules and punishments that were carved into a massive black stone stele (pillar). I believe that Hammurabi’s Code of Laws was very unfair and the punishments included were too harsh. For example in Law #22, “If any one is committing a robbery and is caught, then he shall be put to death.” This law is unfair because rather than killing someone for a crime like this, we should have given a lesser punishment. Another law that was very unfair was #195. This stated that “If a son strikes his father, his hands shall be hewn off.” This gave the government too much power over the punishments of crimes.

3. Describe the importance of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers to the Mesopotamian by listing at least 3 things these rivers gave them.

The Tigris and Euphrates Rivers both were of great importance to the Mesopotamian. Both rivers were used for water supply, irrigation for crops, and were also important for transportation and trade. The Tigris and Euphrates rivers made the soil of Mesopotamia perfect for growing crops. Mesopotamians invented an irrigation system which brought water to their crops. During this time, Mesopotamia had few dependable resources. People used the Rivers to trade excessive amounts of crops to get many of the resources they needed.
