Site Map Mesopotamian Art by Staff Writer ArticleInsider.com The Mesopotamian civilizations are among the oldest civilizations in the world and, as a result, mesopotamian art is one of the earliest art forms. The first of the mesopotamian civilizations, the Sumerians, were located in the Tigris-Euphrates river valley. Because the area had no geographical barriers it was constantly under attack from outside forces. Click Here for Our Recommended Mesopotamian Art Site! Because of the different rulers that ruled over the region, the artistic influences were always changing. Each ruling party brought with it new deities, religions and rules. With advancement came new materials and techniques for creating art and architecture. Mesopotamian Art Is Mainly Done in Stone Being that Mesopotamian art is so old, much of the art work was done with stone. The stone age is the first of three archeological sequences, including the stone age, bronze age and iron age. Sumerian votive figures made of stone were a big part of the artistic culture of the time. Stone pottery was also created for use. Today, these items can be seen in museums and some are available for sale. Mesopotamian art is extremely old and the fact that some of it exists today is truly remarkable. Any collector of ancient art would be fortunate to have a piece of this art in their collection. The art is extremely rare and symbolizes the dawn of civilization.

Wild Side ... Looking Ahead Global 200 Snapshot The Mesopotamian Delta and Marshes make up the largest river delta in the Middle East. The marshlands in this ecoregion are very important for global conservation. Between Ancient Rivers Imagine that you lived in ancient Mesopotamia, between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. You would have lived among lush vegetation, otters, minnows, and millions of wetland birds. Today, you can relive those ancient times, because this ecoregion is still home to these and other amazing species, including 278 different kinds of birds. Special Features The Tigris and the Euphrates begin in the mountains of Turkey and flow south through Iraq. They run parallel to each other and for much of their course are never more than 100 miles (160 km) apart. They nourish the land and create streams and marshes to both the east and west. Not long after they meet they pour into the Persian Gulf. To both the Basra reed warbler and the Iraq babbler, the Mesopotamian Delta and Marshes ecoregion is the only place to be. In fact, almost the entire populations of these two species live here and nowhere else on Earth.

Treasures of Iraq: Part One 1 of 10 Clay impression of a Mesopotamian cylinder seal from circa 2600-2300 B.C. Photograph by Lynn Abercrombie In 1989 photographer Lynn Abercrombie and her husband, former National Geographic staff writer Tom Abercrombie, went to Iraq to do a story on that country. While waiting for permission to leave Baghdad, the Abercrombies decided to photograph some of the exquisite antiquities housed in the Iraq Museum; Lynn made dozens of photographs. Ultimately, National Geographic's editor held the story, awaiting more coverage, and it was never published in the magazine. This image is part of a selection of Lynn Abercrombie's photographs, some of which have not been published anywhere before. As a result of the Iraq War and subsequent looting of the museum, the status of these objects is unknown.

the Ancient Mesopotamian and Egyptian World-Systems Christopher Chase-Dunn, Daniel Pasciuti, Alexis Alvarez Institute for Research on World-Systems University of California, Riverside chriscd@ucr.edu Thomas D. Hall, Sociology, DePauw University Northeast African and West Asian PMNs An earlier version was presented at the All-UC Multicampus Research Unit in World History conference, UCLA December 6-7, 2003. (10522 words) Thanks to Guillermo Algaze, Claudio Cioffi, Jerry Cooper and Peter Peregrine for comments on an earlier version. v. 12-8-03 Introduction This paper presents an overview of the development of complex and hierarchical societies in ancient Southwestern Asia from a comparative world-systems perspective, and presents an analysis of the timing of urban and empire growth/decline cycles in Mesopotamia and Egypt to test the hypotheses that these two regions may have experienced waves of development synchronously. We also discuss how climate change may have influenced the patterns of development. In a nutshell our argument is that there have been systemic relations among different peoples since at least the first human settlements by the Natufians some twelve thousand years ago (Chase-Dunn and Hall 1997). The developmental logic of these intersocietal systems have changed over time as new techniques of power and institutions have emerged but there are also broad continuities and similar patterns over millennia as world-systems became larger.

At Jarmo, oldest known permanent settlement: crude mud houses, wheat grown from seed, herds of goats, sheep, and pigs. Migration of northern farmers settle in region from Babylon to Persian Gulf. Hassuna culture introduces irrigation, fine pottery, permanent dwellings; dominates culture for 1000 years, develops tradefrom Persian Gulf to Mediterranean. Pre-Sumerians 5000-3500 Ubaidians develop first divisions of labor, mud brick villages, first religious shrines. Small temple at Eridu - earliest example of an offering table and niche for cult object. Semitic nomads from Syria and Arabian peninsula invade southern Mesopotamia, intermingle with Ubaidian population Temple at Tepe Gawra built - setting style for later examples.

Settlements stillof biliage type nad size, but cobbled streets and some sort of municipal caretaking. REctagular houses smaller than before while round houses (tholi) become more predominant, sometimes seperated into 2 rooms, sometimes surronded by rectangular rooms.

Five months pregnant, Khalida Hussein lies dying in a Baghdad hospital, a malignant brain tumor sapping her ability to walk, eat and speak. There's perhaps one doctor in Iraq talented enough to save her life: a neurosurgeon ranked among the best in the Middle East. But Dr. Abid Hadi Khalily is holed up in his home, recovering from a traumatic kidnapping in April. Colleagues say he's too depressed and frightened to return to work and is preparing to leave the country. For two months, someone has been kidnapping the best doctors in Iraq.
