    http://www.insects.org/ced1/mes_lit.html
    
    Extractions: Valencia, SPAIN The greek word "Mesopotamia" (land between the rivers) names the territory between the Euphrates and Tigris River. Actually the Republic of Iraq and the eastern part of the Republic of Syria bore the site of the oldest historical civilization of Sumeria. Forming a foundation for the Babylonian and Assyrian civilizations, this area was occupied from approximately 3500 to 500 B.C. Mesopotamian civilizations are well known for their wonderful masterpieces of art; many of which can be seen in famous museums like the Louvre, the British Museum, and the Iraq Museum. Perhaps less well known is the extraordinary literary production of these people preserved on thousands of clay tablets discovered in archeological ruins including Uruk, Babylon, and Nineveh. Within this literature, citations of odonates (dragonflies) can be found in the Poem of Gilgamesh and the Poem of Atrahasis. Do we build for ever our houses,

    Extractions: Mesopotamian Art Lesson The following is a lesson on Mesopotamian (Near Eastern) Art. The lesson has follow-up questions and additional links are included for more study and illustrations. Unlike their southern neighbors, the Mesopotamian area was in conflict between warring nations very frequently. This area also required much more maintenance of their agriculture systems. Because of these and other factors, this area had a more limited development of art as compared to Egypt. Most of the cultures in the Mesopotamian area were polytheistic. In Sumerian cities they built ziggurats for their worship. A ziggurat is a step pyramid with a temple at the top. Normally each city would have one main ziggurat dedicated to the cities special god. Rich people in the city would build small temples for worship also. Sculptures in this area often showed long beards on the peoples faces. The long beard represented power in their society. Most reliefs and paintings would tell stories of battles or proclaimed the power of the ruler. Mesopotamian sculptures also included mythical creatures at times. Some of the sculpted reliefs had cuneiform writing on the pictures.

    mesopotamian Disease and Medicine. Human skeletal remains may also provide valuable information on mesopotamian medicine and disease.  
    http://cdli.ucla.edu/edu/medicine.html
    
    Extractions: Human skeletal remains may also provide valuable information on Mesopotamian medicine and disease. Many types of diseases leave distinct and specific markers on the skeleton. In some cases diagnoses made from skeletal material may be particularly valuable as a means of corroborating diagnoses made from textual sources. This project intends to exploit these two types of evidence (the textual and the skeletal) in order to learn about the disease processes at work in ancient Mesopotamia and come to understand the medical field that was developed to combat such disease processes. For more details on the importance of textual and skeletal sources concerning disease and medicine see: The Sources. THE PROJECT There are several specific goals that this project seeks to achieve. First, it will provide researchers, when completed, with a single, comprehensive source for disease symptoms and terminology. It will organize data on anatomical and disease terminology as well as disease symptoms implied in the textual record with the goal of creating a differential diagnosis for given symptoms. A differential diagnosis is a list of potential diagnoses that may explain a given set of symptoms, from which a more secure diagnosis may be established after further examination.

    Extractions: Mesopotamian Year Names Neo-Sumerian and Old Babylonian Date Formulae prepared by Marcel Sigrist and Peter Damerow LIST OF KINGS The list of more than 2,000 year names which is made accessible here has been compiled as a tool for the dating of cuneiform tablets as well as for supporting historical studies on early bookkeeping techniques. This tool essentially consists of a collection of date formulae in administrative documents as they were used by the scribes in ancient Mesopotamia, and of computer generated indices for a quick identification of incomplete date formulae on damaged cuneiform tablets and of issues and events mentioned in these formulae. The collection covers presently the time period Access is provided through According to the pupose of this compilation the data formulae as they are presented here do not quote specific texts but are often composite formulae based on several sources. Furthermore it was impossible to give always the numerous variants of some of the year names. In cases of doubt whether the given version adequately represents the textual evidence users should consult the references and the relevant publications on Mesopotamian year names. (A bibliography is currently in preparation and will soon be accessible here.) History of the project The preparation of this electronic tool is an outcome of an unusual and long-lasting cooperation between an assyiologist and an historian of science at intervals over a period of more than 10 years. The data are kept in a database. Originally it was planned to prepare a computer generated publication of these data. Some seven years ago, a preprint of this publication was made available to a small group of interested scholars, including at that time only the year names of the Ur III period and Old Babylonian period.

66. MEDICINE IN ANCIENT MESOPOTAMIA
    mesopotamian civilizations. mesopotamian Medicine The Sources. mesopotamian Concepts of Disease and Healing. mesopotamian diseases  
    http://www.indiana.edu/~ancmed/meso.HTM
    
    Extractions: Regardless of the risks associated with performing surgery, at least four clay tablets have survived that describe a specific surgical procedure. Unfortunately, one of the four tablets is too fragmentary to be deciphered. Of the remaining three, one seems to describe a procedure in which the asu cuts into the chest of the patient in order to drain pus from the pleura. The other two surgical texts belong to the collection of tablets entitled "Prescriptions for Diseases of the Head." One of these texts mentions the knife of the asu scraping the skull of the patient. The final surgical tablet mentions the postoperative care of a surgical wound. This tablet recommends the application of a dressing consisting mainly of sesame oil, which acted as an anti-bacterial agent. Beyond the role of the ashipu and the asu, there were other means of procuring health care in ancient Mesopotamia. One of these alternative sources was the Temple of Gula. Gula, often envisioned in canine form, was one of the more significant gods of healing. While excavations of temples dedicated to Gula have not revealed signs that patients were housed at the temple while they were treated (as was the case with the later temples of Asclepius in Greece), these temples may have been sites for the diagnosis of illness. In his book Illness and Health Care in the Ancient Near East: the Role of the Temple in Greece, Mesopotamia, and Israel, Hector Avalos states that not only were the temples of Gula sites for the diagnosis of illness (Gula was consulted as to which god was responsible for a given illness), but that these temples were also libraries that held many useful medical texts.

    http://www.lightbridgemusic.com/mohmt.htm
    
    Extractions: Where did the specific ratios in the Mesopotamian tunings come from? Why these numbers and no others? After playing with these numbers for a while, I realized that all the ratios in all seven of the tunings are based on just one initial ratio: three over two, or 1.5. This is called a fifth interval, and is the entire basis for the seven Mesopotamian tunings. How could this be? Can the simple fifth account for the ratios 729/512 and 1024/729? It turns out that it can, and that’s what we’ll discuss here. ( How the Sumerians, a supposedly primitive people, came up with this scheme is discussed elsewhere.) We will start arbitrarily with a frequency of 400 Hertz. If this is done in a spreadsheet, any starting frequency can be used. We use a nice round number to illustrate how quickly this roundness disappears. And we will also arbitrarily call this note C, since on a modern piano, the major scale in C can be played on the white keys, thus starting as simply as possible. But again, this is an arbitrary selection; any note name could be used. The idea is to multiply each frequency by 3/2 or 1.500, thus determining another note of a scale. Since there are seven white notes in an octave (before then next C is reached), we will repeat this multiplication seven times.

    Extractions: Mesopotamian protohistory Attempts have been made by philologists to reach conclusions about the origin of the flowering of civilization in southern Mesopotamia by the analysis of Sumerian words. It has been thought possible to isolate an earlier, non-Sumerian substratum from the Sumerian vocabulary by assigning certain words on the basis of their endings to either a Neolithic or a Chalcolithic language stratum. These attempts are based on the phonetic character of Sumerian at the beginning of the 2nd millennium BC, which is at least 1,000 years later than the invention of writing . Quite apart, therefore, from the fact that the structure of Sumerian words themselves is far from adequately investigated, the enormous gap in time casts grave doubt on the criteria used to distinguish between Sumerian and " pre-Sumerian " vocabulary. The earliest peoples of Mesopotamia who can be identified from inscribed monuments and written tradition[ people in the sense of speakers of a common language ]are, apart from the

    The Demise of mesopotamian Marshlands. mesopotamian marshlands have effectively been relegated to the history books, a landscape of the past.  
    http://www.un.org/Pubs/chronicle/2002/issue2/0202p44_mesopotamian_marshlands.htm
    
    Extractions: UN Photo Around 85 per cent of the Mesopotamian marshlands - the largest wetland in the Middle East and one of the most outstanding freshwater ecosystems in the world - have been lost mainly as a result of drainage and damming, according to a report released by the United Nations Environment Programme. The cause of the decline is mainly as a result of damming upstream, as well as drainage schemes since the 1970s. The Tigris and the Euphrates are among the most intensively dammed rivers in the world. In the past forty years, the two rivers have been fragmented by the construction of more than 30 large dams, whose storage capacity is several times greater than the volume of both rivers. By turning off the tap, dams have substantially reduced the water available for downstream ecosystems and eliminated the floodwaters that nourished the marshlands.

Mesopotamia has been the homeland for a bewildering variety of peoples and nations, and the following archive reflects that. It should be kept in mind that the various divinities mentioned below came not only from different City-States, but even different ethnic groups: a brief reference to the various ethnic groups and city-states follows the main section. This page is intended as a reference guide for students of Mesopotamian mythology, and is a catalogue, hopefully reasonably complete, of known Mesopotamian God-forms. The information here is necessarily brief; a full accounting of all these entities would be a massive book in its own right. What is included here is: a Name, ( Nationality or City-State ), any important epithets or sobriquets that are associated with the Name, and a basic description of spheres of influence, attributes, and/or descriptive stories.

    Extractions: NM's Creative Impulse Development of Western Civilization I World History I Mesopotamia Search or look it up in the Encyclopedia Britannica Contact Information The Mesopotamian plain was part of the Fertile Crescent. Situated between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, the area was the birth place of the varied civilizations that developed writing, schools, libraries, written law codes and moved us from prehistory to history. The Sumerians, Akkadians, Chaldeans, Hittites, Babylonians, Israelites, Phoenicians, Lydians, Assyrians and Persians established the foundations for future Civilizations. Their contributions include: the wheel, glass, the sail, coinage, mathematics, the alphabet, calendars, bronze, iron, monotheism, epic poetry, farming and irrigation. The art of Mesopotamia is as diverse as the civilizations that inhabited the area. Art became decorative, stylized and conventionalized at different times and places in the area. Gods took on human forms and humans were combined with animals to make fantastic creatures. Art commemorated the accomplishments of great men and intimidated the lowly. Skills improved and new media was developed. Large temples and imposing palaces dotted the landscape. Man recorded his history and poetry for the first time and set them down to music. Lyres, pipes, harps and drums accompanied their songs and dances. Abraham Text only Bio from the Catholic Encyclopedia The Story of Abraham from the Hebrew Bible - from
