Like all farmers, the farmers in Ancient Mesopotamia grew crops. Some of the main crops they grew were barley and wheat. They also grew onions, grapes, turnips, apples, and their favorite vegetable to grow; eggplant.

Farmers use up a lot of energy farming, therefore, sometimes they get the animals to help out by stomping the ground to get the seeds in the ground. They also used slaves to help them finish they’re work quicker. They used aqueducts to carry water across a river.

Farming in Ancient Mesopotamia could not be done without irrigation. The used wooden plows pulled by oxen, until 2800 years before civilization, when they discovered they could make tools out of bronze and flint. The flint tools were used to cut wheat and throw seeds into the soil. Farmers brought animals over the field to trample the seeds into the soil.

The average house in Ancient Mesopotamia is made out of mud bricks, and mud plaster and had a wooden door.

Ziggurats, otherwise known as pyramids were made of mud bricks, gold and bronze. They also made temples to honor Gods.. They made dams to hold water and aqueducts to carry water across a depression or river.
