What do ancient stories tells us about the civilization of mesopotamian? Explain with example? |
| Answer» Ancient stories reveal the nature of Mesopotamian society, institutions, trade activities, agriculture, and kingship\'s initiative to encourage writing and schools, and economic related conflicts among the rulers and communities. For example, a flood story in the Bible describes Mesopotamia as a land of brick-built cities. According to the Bible, the flood was meant to destroy all life on earth. However, God chose a man, Noah, to\xa0ensure that life could continue after the Flood. Noah built a huge boat, an ark. He took a pair each of all known species of animals and birds on board the ark, which survived the Flood. There was a strikingly similar story in the Mesopotamian tradition, where the principal\xa0character was called Ziusudra or Utnapishtim. | |
