Mesopotamians were low on resources they could not make highly advanced transportation like planes or cars they had to carry goods to trade and keep their city running so they had to travel really far. They used chariots which we do not use now or rafts we use gasoline powered boats which work for a long time and that doesn't have to be fueled in a long time and mesopotamians had to row for a long time and that would get them tired so then they couldn't do other tasks and they also had to travel really far to fight wars and trade goods. In canada we use bikes and train mesopotamians did not have those ways of transport because it was 5000 years ago. They had no gasoline or fuel. So they could only use hands and intelligence
