Today we began our study of the Early River Valley Civilizations. We looked first at the Mesopotamian civilization. We took notes along with a powerpoint presentation. We examined a primary source of ancient proverbs which gave us insight into the values & social standards of the people in Sumer. Then we learned about the first established lawcode - created by Hammurabi. We examined outside materials about Hammurabi's greatest achievements as a Mesopotamian ruler.
Exit Work: How did cultural ideas spread throughout Mesopotamia?
* Remember, your map quiz will be on Wednesday, September 22.
