Answered by admin @



The name of the first great civilization in Mesopotamia was Sumer. Mesopotamian civilizations formed on the banks of two rivers, i.e., the Tigris and Euphrates, in what is currently the state of Iraq and Kuwait. Mesopotamia is typically known as the cradle of civilization in the 4th millennium BCE. Sumerian civilization developed as a remarkable series of city-states after 3000 BC. The remarkable development of historical civilization takes place in various main things, i.e., fields of technology, literature, legal codes, philosophy, religion, and architecture.  

Further explanation

  • The Mesopotamian name comes from Greek which means 'between two rivers', the two rivers are Tigris and Euphrates.
  • Mesopotamia is an ancient region located in the eastern Mediterranean, bordered by the Zagros Mountains and in the southeast by the Arabian Highlands.
  • The name of the first great civilization in Mesopotamia was Sumer and Sumerian civilization developed as a remarkable series of city-states after 3000 BC.  
  • The Sumerian civilization first formed in southern Mesopotamia around 4000 BC — or 6,000 years ago — which made it the first urban achievement in the region. The Sumerians were expert long-distance traders, who delivered necessary written records, which were recorded in texts such as wedge-shaped marks pressed into clay tablets. So the invention of writing obtains the most primary thing besides the rise of the city.

Some significant findings regarding the great Mesopotamian civilization in Sumer are:

  • The plow, a revolutionary way of cultivating fields
  • metal tools and weapons, an alloy of copper and tin
  • using the Cuneiform script to write, e.g., to record sales and purchases, to write letters to one another, to tell stories like The Epic of Gilgamesh and The Myth of Adapa (the world’s fundamental leading works of literature)
  • Women get almost the same rights and could own land, own their own business and make contracts in trade.
  • One of the leading rulers, Hammurabi, created the first written law code in about 1792 BC.

The conclusion is, a remarkable development of historical civilization in Mesopotamia takes place in various main things, i.e., fields of technology, literature, legal codes, philosophy, religion, and architecture.
