Life in Mesopotamia

Babylonia was an ancient cultural region in central-southern MesopotamiaIn Babylonia, an abundance of clay, and lack of stone, led to greater use of mud brick. Babylonian temples were massive structures of crude brick.The walls were brilliantly coloured, and sometimes plated with zinc or gold, as well as with tiles.  In Babylon the king was on top of the social class. then there were the nobles, free citizen , which contained of soldiers in the military, and lastly there were the slaves. their social levels were divided into three basic groups: awilu, which is a free person from the upper class, wardu, or slave, and the mushkenu, which were normal free people.Although Babylon was quite a small state in the Sumerian, it grew tremendously throughout the time of Hammurabi's rule. He was known as “the law maker”, and soon Babylon became one of the main cities in Mesopotamia. Hammurabi created the laws of the city which were pretty much in an "eye for eye"style law. For the most part the only education that a young Babylonian might have recieved would have been of a scribal type. those who were sent to school to train as a scribe had to be children of wealthy or influential parent.Boys were admitted and possibly girls as well. Babylonian mythology is a set of stories depicting the activities of Babylonian deities, heroes, and mythological creatures. These stories served many social, political, ceremonial purposes, and at times tried to explain natural phenomena. Babylonian mythology and religion was largely centered around civilization. Babylonian economy was based upon agriculture, animal husbandry, manufactured goods and foreign trade. The chief economic institutions were the palace and temples, which owned large areas of land and were also involved in manufacturing and trade.There were in addition private landholders and business firms, and goods were exchanged on a barter system with silver as the standard of exchange.

Did Cooking Make Us Human?

Was cooking one of the main factors that affected who we are today? In this movie we found out the features that may have cause our dominance on this planet. In the beginning of the movie a group of people were part of an experiment which should show us that early ancestors didn't eat meat, but only ate fruits and vegetables. the people lost weight through the week because they weren't used to not eating meat. This proves that that the earliest ancestors didn't eat meat. Even their teeth show us that they wouldn't be able to chew on meat or cooked meat. Later on when they learned how to hunt and eat raw meat their teeth changed too. the teeth got sharper and allowed them to rip the meat. then when they learned how to create and maintain fire they started to cook meat. it is proved that when you eat cooked food it gives you more energy. Since they started to cook food they didn't need to eat a lot, so their stomachs got smaller and brains bigger. cooking could be one of the key factors of our evolution.
