21. McClung Museum - Royal Tombs Of UR - Woolley And The Great Flood
    Online exhibition examining mesopotamian flood traditions from archeological findings and literature.  
    http://mcclungmuseum.utk.edu/specex/ur/ur-flood.htm
    
    Extractions: TREASURES FROM THE ROYAL TOMBS OF UR WOOLLEY AND THE GREAT FLOOD The story of a devastating flood is a key element in a number of Mesopotamian compositions. In the literary-historical work popularly known as the Sumerian King List, which probably dates in its original form to the early second millennium BC, a flood separates antediluvian dynasties ruling from the cities of Eridu, Babtibira, Sippar, Larak, and Shuruppak, all of whose kings had reigns of fantastic length, from a longer list of dynasties ruling from nine different cities, the first after the flood being Kish. After Kish, kingship was transferred to Uruk and the later kings of the dynasty include Enmerkar, Lugalband, and Gilgamesh, figures well known from Mesopotamian literature. The Sumerian flood story is preserved on a six-columned tablet from Nippur (B 10637), only the lower third of which is preserved. The complete original would probably have had 260 lines. The tablet can be dated by its script to the late 17th century BC. The story inscribed on the tablet deals with the creation of humans and animals, the antediluvian cities and their rulers, and the flood. This clay tablet, now known as the Nippur Tablet, is displayed in the exhibition. NIPPUR TABLET In the episodes preserved, Enki reveals the gods' plan to destroy the human race with a flood to Ziusudra and urges him to heed his advice. The wind and storms come and with them the flood, which lasts for seven days and seven nights before the sun returns. Ziusudra emerges from his boat and offers sacrifices. Enki mollifies the gods, and An and Enlil grant Ziusudra life like a god's.

    Presents a project to restore the mesopotamian marshlands, funded by the USbased Iraq Foundation. Includes bibliographic data base and news.  
    http://www.iraqfoundation.org/projects/edenagain/
    
    Extractions: The Iraq Foundation is sponsoring a new project, Eden Again, for the restoration of the southern marshes which were the target of a campaign by the Iraqi government in the early to mid nineties. The environmental and military campaign desiccated the marshlands, destroyed the environment, burnt villages, and drove hundreds of thousands of the indigenous ma'dan population into external exile or internal displacement. This project is significant for its human, environmental and historical impact. THE "EDEN AGAIN" PROJECT: RESTORATION OF THE MESOPOTAMIAN MARSHLANDS The Mesopotamian Marshlands, historically covering over 20,000 square kilometers of interconnected lakes, mudflats, and wetlands within modern-day Iraq and Iran, have disappeared. In what the United Nations has declared "one of the world's greatest environmental disasters," over 90% of the marshlands have been desiccated through the combined actions of upstream damming and downstream drainage projects undertaken by the regime of Saddam Hussein. BACKGROUND ON THE MARSHLANDS The extensive marshlands of Mesopotamia represent a unique component of our global heritage and resources (UNEP, 2001). They play a key role in the intercontinental flyway of migratory birds, support endangered species, and sustain fisheries of the Persian Gulf. Biblical scholars regard the marshes as the site of the legendary "Garden of Eden." Historically they nurtured the culture and civilization of the Sumerians who produced the first alphabet and the earliest epics.

30. OI Museum Highlights Document
    The mesopotamian collection of the Oriental Institute Museum was acquired almost exclusively through archaeological excavations.  
    http://oi.uchicago.edu/OI/MUS/HIGH/OI_Museum_Mesopotamia.html
    
    Extractions: THUMBNAIL IMAGE INDEX Mesopotamia - the land between the rivers, the Tigris and the Euphrates - is an ancient Greek term used by archaeologists to refer to the area now roughly equivalent to the modern country of Iraq. The Mesopotamian collection of the Oriental Institute Museum was acquired almost exclusively through archaeological excavations. The first of these - the University of Chicago Oriental Exploration Fund's expedition to Bismaya (ancient Adab) - worked in Iraq from 1903-1905. During the 1930's the Babylonian Section of the Iraq Expedition excavated four sites on the lower Diyala River, and today the Nippur Expedition is continuing its work, begun in 1948, at the holy city of Nippur. The material that has been brought back as a result of divisions of finds from these expeditions forms one of the major world collections, covering in depth the civilizations of ancient Mesopotamia.

33. Mesopotamia
    The capitol CityState of the mesopotamian Civilization was Ur - Uruk 3500 BC. The city is believed to have been surrounded by a great moat.  
    http://www.crystalinks.com/meso.html
    
    Extractions: The word 'Mesopotamia' is in origin a Greek name (mesos `middle' and 'potamos' - 'river' so `land between the rivers'). Mesopotamia is the oldest known civilization. It is said that Mesopotamia was the place of the legendary 'Garden of Eden'. Mesopotamia is the name is used for the area watered by the Euphrates and Tigris and its tributaries, roughly comprising modern Irak and part of Syria. South of modern Bagdad, the alluvial plains of the rivers was called the land of Sumer and Akkad in the third millennium. The name does not refer to any particular civilization using that name. Over the course of several millennia, many civilizations developed, collapsed, and were replaced in this fertile region. The history of the land and its people dates back more than to 7,000 BC. Mesopotamia has no natural boundaries and is difficult to defend. The influence of neighboring countries is large. Throughout the history of Mesopotamia trade contacts, slow diffusion of foreign tribes and military confrontations have been of great influence. Mesopotamia - the cradle of civilization - the land between the Tigris and the Euphrates Rivers, it is said, hosted the legendary Garden of Eden - if it existed anywhere. To emphasize this the ancient village of Al-Qurna singled out a tree ("Adam's tree") with a sign - in Arabic and English. On this holy spot where the Tigris meets the Euphrates this holy tree of our father Adam grew symbolizing the Garden of Eden. Abraham prayed here 2,000 years B.C.

34. Lesson: Mesopotamia (Women In World History Curriculum)
    Discussion, analysis of mesopotamian cuneiform tablets and artifacts to define women's lives in ancient Mesopotamia from Women in World History curriculum.  
    http://www.womeninworldhistory.com/lesson2.html
    
    Extractions: This lesson is in response to a communication from a Napa, California teacher who says that her textbook is "woefully remiss in including roles, contributions and lives of women" in Mesopotamia. Can this statement be made about your textbook too? In general, women's rights in Mesopotamia were not equal to those of men. But in early periods women were free to go out to the marketplaces, buy and sell, attend to legal matters for their absent men, own their own property, borrow and lend, and engage in business for themselves. High status women, such as priestesses and members of royal families, might learn to read and write and be given considerable administrative authority. Numerous powerful goddesses were worshiped; in some city states they were the primary deities. Women's position varied between city-states and changed over time. There was an enormous gap between the rights of high and low status women (almost half the population in the late Babylonian period were slaves), and female power and freedom sharply diminished during the Assyrian era. The first evidence of laws requiring the public veiling of elite women come from this period. Read the following excerpts gleaned from Mesopotamian cuneiform tablets and artifacts. Then find the sentence, phrase or idea that shows:

    Extractions: A region in the Middle East which is defined as the land lying between the rivers Euphrates and Tigris in what is Iraq today. This region was the birthplace of the first civilizations, and among the leading regions in the world for about 3,000 years. A wider definition of Mesopotamia is the land that that lies between the Zagros and Anti-Taurus mountains in the northern end, and the Arabian plateau and Persian Gulf to the south, corresponding to modern Iraq, eastern Syria and southeastern Turkey The most important ancient civilizations in the region were first the Sumerian (3500 BC- 2000 BCE), the Babylonian (18th century BC- 539 BCE) and Assyrian (1350 BC- 612 BCE). During the last two millenniums the Muslim Abbasids must be considered as the strongest rulers of Mesopotamia, both in might and in cultural achievements.

40. Flectere Magic Bibliographies And Resources
    Scholarly bibliographies of books on folk magic. Topics include Witches or Magic Users in Greek Literature; Necromancy; Cursing; Anthropological and General Theories of Magic, Papyri Graecae Magicae; and Magic and Religion in Egyptian, Coptic, Jewish, Syrian, Anatolian, Hittite, and mesopotamian Cultures.  
    http://www.rdg.ac.uk/~lkpbodrd/magbib/.
    
    Extractions: These bibliographies so far contain only a few works which I have consulted for my PhD research into ancient Greek perceptions of magic. The content inevitably reflects my interests (particularly archaic and classical Greek literary sources). A comprehensive bibliography of magic (even ancient magic) would in any case be prohibitive. Feel free to suggest additions, etc. Please let me know if you find this of any use. In case you have found this page while looking for something else, I have included links to other online magic resources. You are visitor number to my site since its conception in 1996. This whole site will soon be restructured to make it simpler, more attractive and hopefully more useful (and so it will involve less work to keep it updated). The current change of face of this page is the first step. The bibliographies are currently still in their unwieldy form, as listed below. There is a Text-Only Version of the full bibliography in a single document; this is more up-to-date than any of the subdivided bibliographies. The following sub-sections, divided into topics for for convenience, remain accessible but are no longer updated pending the restructure of the site (which will happen when I have more time):
