Her cultures changed with every dawning era, and her views grew more perceptive until a final, ethical Zoroastrianism. Whether Sumerian, Babylonian, Chaldean, or Persian, Mesopotamia cradled each, defining the meaning of civilization through life and the gods. Ultimately, introducing the basic way of life for Mesopotamia begins with the first of the people to settle in the area—the Sumerians.…

    Ancient Mesopotamia, even before the Neo-Babylonian reign has always been a point of interest for historians of the ancient past as it sports a rich history of human civilization and growth. The history of ancient Mesopotamia largely begins around 4000 BCE wherein a “cultural shift” occurred wherein people began to reside in cities as opposed to solely agricultural societies (Stockstad 28). It is around this period, that it is believed the Sumerian civilization took root, a civilization credited with major technological breakthroughs including Cuneiform writing, the same type we notice upon Nebuchadnezzar’s cylinder some 3000 years later. Approximately ten centuries after the Sumerians, or around 1400 BCE, a group known as the Assyrians seized power in the region, and they became famous for building fortified cities and grandiose palaces for their rulers (Stockstad 38). Their rule lasted approximately 800 years, until eventually the Neo-Babylonians took power and “recaptured the splendor that marked Babylon 12 centuries earlier under Hammurabi (Stockstad…

    The New Assyrian and Persian empires were two of the earliest major empires in the world. First came the Assyrians which ruled from 900-600BC, and the Persians began their rule around 550BC. Even with these two empires becoming major establishments in what is known today as the middle east, they are quite different from each other when it comes to many ideologies. Such differences could include: warfare, religion, social hierarchy, and many other things that shape the way we reflect on two of our earliest, and most powerful empires known to man. When it came to the Assyrian empire, one thing that immediately stands out is their brute force and utter determination to dominate the land and people around them.…
