The Power of Hammurabi
Hammurabi was important to the Mesopotamians because he made great contributions as a leader. Hammurabi made Mesopotamia bigger, he created an empire, the Babylonian Empire. Also, to improve the irrigation system he created a tax system. He traded with other people to make his people live better. His biggest contribution was his 282 laws called Hammurabi’s Code. His laws lasted for many years because we still see some of his ideas. Hammurabi’s laws were powerful because they were written down for everyone can see. When Hammurabi was the king, Babylon was the most famous city in Mesopotamia. After her died, Babylon did not exist. All of Hammurabi’s contributions made him a great and powerful leader, and only lived 42 years.

How Mesopotamians became Powerful

The most important achievement of the Mesopotamians is the levees, tools, irrigation system, writing art, technology, and laws. Levees are an important achievement because they block floods. Tools are important achievements because they built levees, irrigation system, writing, art, technology, and laws. Irrigation system are a important achievement because they create levees which water could stay in the right place for the Mesopotamian and people can drink the water and to water the crops. So then the crops can be used for food for the Mesopotamians people, and the animals can drink the water. The Mesopotamians created a language called cuneiform. Cuneiform was used for they can communicate with each other, and for Mesopotamian people can read it. Art is an important achievement because for they can express their feelings, and to show their talents, and to show their piece of art, and to show their hard work. Technology is a important achievement because it releases energy. Energy makes light. Light was for seeing in the dark at night time. Laws are also a important achievement because kings make them. Laws are also used for people can’t fight over something, and for it can be easier.
The Mesopotamian invention that showed the most power was the agriculture. In my opinion, the agriculture was the most powerful because it created crops. The agriculture helped the Mesopotamian people because without agriculture there would be no food. Agriculture helped also people to survive. Crops were vegetables, fruit they made your bones stronger. They maintained their agriculture by building levees.

Adventure's of Gilgamesh

The story of Gilgamesh takes place in Uruk a busy city on the flat Mesopotamia. The story involves Gilgamesh, Humbaba, and Enkidu. In the beginning, Gilgamesh wanted to see the world and go to an adventure. Gilgamesh suggested they journey across the plain distance mountains so they could bring back some wood from the cedar forest. Then when Gilgamesh and Enkidu are walking through the forest they see they guessed that the sound was the demon Humbaba. Suddenly, the demon stood before Gilgamesh and Enkidu. In the end, in a booming voice Humbaba demanded to know why they had entered his forest. Humbaba got defeated by Gilgamesh and Enkidu.
The message of the story is Gilgamesh and Enkidu defeated Humbaba. I choose this because in the story it is mainly about their fighting with Humbaba. Also in the story Humbaba threatened to destroy the two friends Gilgamesh and Enkidu. Another reason is because in the story it says Humbaba threatened to destroy the two friends if they did not leave immediately.
I believe Gilgamesh is a hero because he defeated the demon. Also, he was brave to enter the forest with Enkidu. In addition, he says he was frightened but he and Enkidu decide to stay and fight. Finally, he went back to his village with the demon head and wood. In my opinion, Gilgamesh is a hero.

Mesopotamia Life
It is 3500BC and I am in Sumer where Mesopotamia is located. The problems settling in Sumer are water and food shortage. The water is a problem because when it rains water will make floods. Mesopotamia has two rivers, Euphrates and the Tigris rivers overflowing the land. Everytime it rains it floods. The farmers here in Sumer face a lot of challenges. One of the biggest problems is the water supply. During the Spring, rain and melted snow from the mountains flows into the two rivers and floods the crops.
In the farm there is not enough land to grow crops to make food. We need food to live or else we will die without food. Food is the second most important. Water is the first most important. In the Spring, the rivers flood bringing enough water for the crops. Perhaps the farms could be built where the land floods.
As you can see living in Mesopotamia is hard. It is hard because we loose water because of the floods in Mesopotamia. Also, we loose water because we don' t have ways to control it. Food shortage is another problem because we do not have too much land to grow crops.
