The Ancient Civilizations

Explore the ancient civilizations of the Middle East, often called "The Cradle of Civilization," which served as a crossroads for three continents. Discover how factors such as urban centers for trade, advanced record keeping (like cuneiform), specialized jobs, and governance institutions shaped societies into civilizations. Key players include the Sumerians and Babylonians, whose innovations in writing, law (as seen in the Code of Hammurabi), and trade paved the way for more complex societies. This overview delves into their culture, technologies, and significant historical events.
