ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS AND THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Mesopotamia  Located between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers  Used irrigation and canals to help water crops during the dry season  Modern day Iraq

Sumer  Sumerians are credited with many advancements:  The first writing system; cuneiform  The Wheel  The plow & irrigation  The clock for telling time.  Sewer systems  Use of bronze to strengthen tools and weapons.

Babylon  Developed Hammurabi’s Code which was a thorough set of written laws.  “Eye for an eye”  Known for their hanging gardens

Persia  known for paintings, carpet, metalwork, architecture  Modern day Iran

Muslims  Defeated the Persian and Byzantine Empires but allowed Jews and Christians to practice their religion.  Grew into three separate empires: Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal. This is when Muhammad is taking over the Arabian Peninsula

Cultural Achievements of the Muslims  Focus on astronomy helped develop better understanding of time and of geography.  Focus on geography led to accurate maps that assisted in exploration and trade.  Focus on mathematics led to the development of Algebra.  Focus on medicine led to cures for many serious diseases.  Focus on literature and the arts led to significant works of poetry and short stories including ones about Sinbad, Aladdin, and Ali Baba. It also led to use of calligraphy and an emphasis on architecture, especially for mosques. Note that Muslim Empires ruled parts of the world for over 600 years ( )
