The Baghdad and Damascus Committees of ASOR ASOR committees focusing on work in Syria and Iraq have been functioning for decades to coordinate American research efforts in these countries while actual Institutes are not possible. Committee members include scholars from around the country. The Baghdad Committee (whose formal name is the Committee on Mesopotamian Civilization) oversees the production of the Journal of Cuneiform Studies , has published a newsletter on archaeological and other research in Iraq, has coordinated field projects throughout Iraq, and for a period of time had an Institute functioning in Baghdad. The committee offers the Mesopotamian Fellowship for researchers studying the region, through the generosity of the James B. Nies bequest. Review the recent efforts of ASOR members and staff to help rebuild archaeology in Iraq on our Iraq information page or read a history of ASOR's Baghdad School which operated in Iraq from 1923-1969 (updated 1/9/04).

document.write(''); New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art Mesopotamian Masterpieces Exquisite art and artifacts from the world's earliest civilization are dazzling visitors to New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art A groundbreaking exhibition is showcasing Iraq's rich roots in Mesopotamia, the region between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers that gave birth to the world's first urban civilization some 5,000 years ago. On view at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art through August 17, 2003, "Art of the First Cities: The Third Millennium B.C. from the Mediterranean to the Indus" focuses attention on the distinctive style and far-reaching influence of the art created by the Sumerians of lower Mesopotamia. The Sumerians, who founded the first cities, invented writing, created monumental architecture and developed irrigation, poetry and the rule of law, were also extraordinary craftsmen. "It was a very elite society," says the show's curator Joan Aruz, "with sophisticated music, art and literature." With some 400 works culled from 51 museums and private collections in the United States and 15 countries across Europe, the Middle East and Asia, the show traces a trade connection that stretched from Greece to Pakistan and from the Gulf States to the Caucasus. It places Mesopotamia at the center of a vast commercial, religious and cultural network that linked the ancient cities of Ur in Southern Iraq, Mari in Syria, Troy in western Turkey and the Indus Valley city of Mohenjo-daro in Pakistan. Highlights include a trapezoidal inlaid box or standard from circa 2550-2400

Formal education was practical and aimed to train scribes and priests. It was extended from basic reading, writing, and religion to higher learning in law, medicine, and astrology. Generally, youth of the upper classes were prepared to become scribes, who ranged from copyists to librarians and teachers. The schools for priests were said to be as numerous as temples. This indicates not only the thoroughness but also the supremacy of priestly education. Very little is known about higher education, but the advancement of the priestly work sheds light upon the extensive nature of intellectual pursuit.

MESOPOTAMIAN COSMOGONY When on high the heaven had not been named, Firm ground below had not been called by name, Naught but primordial Apsu, their begetter, (And) Mummu Tiamat, she who bore them all, Their waters commingling as a single body; No reed hut had been matted, no marsh land had appeared, When no gods whatever had been brought into being, Uncalled by name, their destinies undetermined- Then it was that the gods were formed within them. Lahmu and Lahamu were brought forth, by name they were called. For aeons they grew in age and stature. Anshar and Kishar were formed, surpassing the others. They prolonged the days, added on the years. Anu was their son, of his fathers the rival; Yea, Anshar's first-born, Anu, was his equal. Anu begot in his image Nudimmud. This Nudimmud was of his fathers the master, Of broad wisdom, understanding, mighty in strength, Mightier by far than his grandfather, Anshar. He had no rival among the gods, his brothers. The divine brothers banded together

II: MESOPOTAMIAN LANDSCAPES North and east of the Deh Luran plain are the rugged Zagros mountains. Great folds of conglomerate and limestone reach over 2000 meters in altitude, trapping winter rains coming from the west, and sustaining oak forests. These highlands have mild summers, and wet cold winters, with deep snow accumulations. Today the forests are scattered, but before 3000 B.C. with more rainfall and less grazing by goats and sheep, they were probably much denser. This region is a source of woods, various stones, and good summer grazing. Trails lead from Deh Luran up into these mountains and beyond to the high Iranian plateau, rich in stones and metals.

External Links Causes British trouble in Iraq in the 1920s cannot be divorced from their pre-war interests in the area . Indeed these interests were so important that in 1911 the Viceroy of India recommended outright annexation. The political aims of the First World War became very muddy with the Sykes-Picot, the Balfour, and Hussein-McMahon agreements making conflicting promises for the expedience of the moment. Because of the major economic investments, British war-time policy in Iraq was very different from western Arabia where they overtly encouraged and aided the Arab Revolt. To do so in Iraq would have destabilised the India Office as well as further fragmented the races in Iraq that neither the Ottomans nor the British had been able to bring together. Wilson's arrogant administration was precisely the miracle that for the first time gave all Iraqis a sense of national identity and purpose. Even the centuries-old Sunni-Shia conflict was put aside. So by the time the League of Nations confirmed the British Mandate in April 1920, that was the signal for revolt.

94. GUIDE TO THE MESOPOTAMIAN PANTHEON OF GODS GUIDE TO THE mesopotamian PANTHEON OF GODS. Copyright Ian Lawton 1 st May 2000. The gods played a crucial role in the Sumerians lives http://www.ianlawton.com/mes2.htm

GUIDE TO THE MESOPOTAMIAN PANTHEON OF GODS st May 2000 The gods played a crucial role in the Sumerians' lives, both as a nation and as individuals - most Sumerians appear to have had a personal god or gods with whom they forged a special relationship. Their texts and stelae indicate that they looked to them for protection and assistance in all things, while also blaming them or looking upon it as a punishment - just or otherwise - when things went wrong. As with the endurance of their literature these gods, with some amendments, continued to be worshipped right through to the late Assyro-Babylonian period. Since they play a crucial role in the literary texts which we will consider in subsequent papers, it is appropriate that we take time out to consider the key figures. The collective name most often given to the Sumerian pantheon is the Anunnaki, although another name, the Igigi, is also encountered. These two names appear to be interchangeable in some texts, although in others there are inconsistent and conflicting roles accorded to each as greater or lesser gods. For example, in Atra-Hasis the Anunnaki are the 'great gods' while the Igigi 'do the work'. By contrast, in the

The Stele of Hammurabi and a detail of the giving of the law by the sun god Shamesh CUNEIFORM We can say that History begins at Sumer because the earliest written records that have to this point come into our possession are of Sumerian origin. Without documents there can be no history; there may be tradition, there may be culture, but there can be no civilization and no history. To the extent of our present knowledge, there have been only three genuine writing systems created in human history: The Egyptian, the Sumerian, and the Chinese. In Sumeria, at least, we can say with relative certainty that writing was developed out of economic necessity . Fully 75% of the records that have been preserved are economic or administrative in nature. Deeds, loans, marriages, inventories, wills, census, and tax matters form the bulk of our knowledge of Sumerian life. There is also, however, a substantial body of literature, as well as such mundane conveniences as cookbooks, lists of familiar plants and animals, and most important, dictionaries. The earliest of these dictionaries contain about 2000 pictographs or icons. These symbols were meant to resemble that which they represented. The Egyptian and the Chinese systems of writing developed in much the same way.

German to English German to French Spanish to English French to English French to German Italian to English Portug. to English Random : LADY DAY: The Vernal Equinox Mesopotamian myth Mespotamian myth seems to be a common touchstone, as if the first culture to develop a written language was also the first (and only) one to experience some kind of tragic Fall from prelinguistic grace. It is invoked by at least three stories which contain lethal texts ( Snow Crash Macroscope , and The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind .) Mesopotamia has a kind of wondrous resonance, as if its people knew something magical about language by virtue of their pivotal position between orality and literacy, and were able to create lethal texts which really worked. (It is not uncommon for the very first people to do something to do it extraordinarily well Mesopotamian legends, such as Gilgamesh , differ in a key way from Biblical legends. Mesopotamian myths emphasize a free exchange between the realms of the living and the dead. For example, the bodies of the dead were buried with food and servants, to see them on their way in the spiritual realm, which was envisioned to be much like the realm they had just left. Conversely, the dead could interact with the living, blessing those who propitiated them and cursing those who did not. This makes Mesopotamian legend highly amenable to symbolic manipulation, for what happens in one realm is mirrored in the other. In other words, it is saturated with magic. Biblical legend, on the other hand, institutes a sharp division between the two realms, and thus is much less focused on symbolic manipulation. It posits a nonmagical, material, realist world. I believe this helps explain why two important novels about cyberspace
