Life in Mesopotamia

First of all, Art. The Mesopotamian people created ritual objects, Objects of state, and personal objects. The ritual objects were used to hope to bring fertility to women and crops. The other figures were used to represent symbolic idols.
Society was very organized and was ruled as a hieracrchy. They had this irrigation system that required a lot of hard work. The system lead to much larger communities but the hard work was a setback.
One important factor of the political system was Hammurabi's Code of Law. THis was important because it brought control to his empire His system was like an "eye for an eye" type of law.

The Mesopotamians were among the first people to develop a religion They used ritual and religious figures to represent gods and they would hope those figures would help them
Due to Mesopotamia being in between the Tigris and the Euprathes and being one of the first civilizations, they depended mostly on agriculture. They also developed into animal products and grains.

About AP World History Video

A few days ago, I watched a video on food by the BBC. Since it was by English people, it was vile in a few ways, which I will not state. The movie stated that if we didn't learn how to cook, we wouldn't survive. It was only about 2.6 million years ago, that we developed how to cook. It made raw food more hygenic and easier to chew. Since cooked food became easier to chew, humans didn't have to eat as much because the cooked meat contained many more calories than vegetables. It' s a little bit surpriing it took humans 3.4 million year to discover cooking since humans started to walk upright 6  million years ago, but the first true humans appeared only bout 1.8 million years ago. Before cooking, we only ate fruits and vegetables. Since we developed how to cook food, we can't go back to just eating fruits and vegetables because we will die. Due to eating cooked meat, it forced us to evolve into a further stageh. Our brains also started to develop after first eating cooked meat. But it isn't the fact food was cooked, but the fact about how the food was cooked. When the Austropithecus developed into the Homo Erectus, it lost the feeeling of being an ape. Not only that but the brain grew a staggering 30 percent from being an Austropithecus. With cooked food, we rea\lease more sugars and is better for our digestive system. Finally, the reason we crave fatty food is because it makes our brain work more.
