                                                 Mesopotamia

Mesopotamia is a name for the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, it also means ''between the rivers'' in Greek. Mesopotamia included Sumer, and the Akkadian, Babylonian, and Assyrian empires. At about 150 BC, Mesopotamia was under the control of the Parthians. It also became a battlefield between the Romans and the Parthians, with parts of Mesopotamia coming under the Roman's control. The earliest language written in Mesopotamia was Sumerian. Along with Sumerians, Semitic languages were also spoken in early Mesopotamia.

Ancient Mesopotamians had ceremonies every month, as they would often have Festivals as well. Mesopotamians would believe that their king and queens would descend from the City of Gods, unlike the ancient Egyptians who don’t believe that their kings were real gods. Sumerians were agricultural people, so they ate what they farmed: wheat, barley, lentils, beans, garlic, and milk products. Only the wealthy would eat meat.
