Q1) Describe the process by which the main framework of civilization was created in Mesopotamia.
Answer: Since Mesopotamian civilization was based on villages and cities, it relied on a large agricultural sector to supply its urban areas with food. An agricultural surplus makes possible the existence of merchants, artisans, government officials, scribes, and religious specialists, none of whom are directly engaged in producing food themselves. The cities supplied markets for foodstuffs and crafted items, as well as military protection for the agriculturalists. As political leadership in Sumerian Mesopotamia grew, leaders were able to organize and coerce labor to build an irrigation system, dikes, canals, and roads, which contributed to further agricultural expansion. As cities grew, political, social, religious, educational, judicial, and economic institutions expanded as well.
Q2) The Mesopotamian writing system is called
A) Linear A.
B) Arabic
C) Persian.
D) hieroglyphics.
E) cuneiform.
