  1. n Ian Richardson Nebuchadnezzar

  2. Nebuchadnezzar was the son of Nabopolassar. So when he grew up he controlled a army. He became very powerful. He was about to invade Egypt when his father died. Which meant one thing he was king and of Babylon. So powerful when he got married he built this hanging garden for his wife. NEBUCHADNEZZAR

  3. NEBUCHADNEZZAR • My topic is really not used today for a lot. But it shows that a long time ago people still lived. This is because the hanging garden could not be modern because of how its built and if you went inside you could tell no one has been in there for a long time there would probable be lots of cobwebs. Also if you looked at the design of the garden it would be very hard to make it look so original. So in those ways you could call it slightly important to are life today.

  4. s Ian Richardson Sumerian art and music

  5. Music and art were very important in a every day life. They were extremely important in every oral and religious festive activity or ceremony's. Even at this time they had musical instruments. A lot of there art is made of big heavy limestone's and it was in a lot of cases a mystical or factual animal that they believed roamed the land many years ago. Sumerian art and music

  6. How it is used today • My topic is used in so many ways today it would be almost impossible to name them all. Our countries anthem or national phrase in sung. Also today we admire piece after piece of art and a lot of people are professional artists I mean sure it isn’t there exact work and ideas but they made tons of pieces of art that we have recovered today. Also who were the very first people as far as we know to start art Mesopotamians were. • I found the fact that so many of the things they made are still holding together today. They would kill animals and use there bones for art. My last fact is that almost all of there pieces except those made of animal bones. They did use gold for art we have not uncovered a lot of this we have only found a little of it. Most of there music was religious. Music was a huge necessity I mean sure today we love music. But if the world had never ever heard of it could we still survive I think so! Part of the reason is probably because they did not have as much stuff to entertain themselves.

  7. Bibliography • I used only one site for all my information and that is http://mesopotamia.mrdonn.org/index.html
