Mesopotamians valued city life. Explain many communities and cultures lived side by side. |
| Answer» Daily life in ancient Mesopotamia cannot be described in the same way one would describe life in ancient Rome or Greece. Mesopotamia was never a single, unified civilization, not even under the Akkadian Empire of Sargon the Great. Generally speaking, though, from the rise of the cities in c. 4500 BCE to the downfall of Sumer in 1750 BCE, the people of the regions of Mesopotamia did live their lives in similar ways. The civilizations of Mesopotamia placed a great value on the written word. Once writing was invented, c. 3500-3000 BCE, the scribes seem almost obsessed with recording every facet of their cities lives and, because of this, archaeologists and scholars in the present day have a fairly clear understanding of how the people lived and worked. The American author Thornton Wilder once wrote, “Babylon once had two million people in it, and all we know about `em is the names of the kings and some copies of wheat contracts and the sales of slaves” (Our Town). Wilder was writing fiction, of course, not history, and there was much about Mesopotamian history still unknown at the time he wrote his play; still he was wrong about what the modern world, even the world of his day, knew about the people of Mesopotamia. We actually know a good deal more than just the names of kings and the sales of slaves. | |

Why tablets occur by the hundreds of Mesopotamian sites |
| Answer» There were hundred of tablets found in Mesopotamian sites because when writing was discovered in mesopotamia it began to be used for various purpose such as keeping records , giving legal validity ( may be of land) , writing deeds of king , announcing and recording the changes made by the king in customary law etc .

Seasons for growing crops were reduced by a month.\tTrade was hit by a severe shortage of metal money because of a shortfall in the output of silver mines in Austria and Serbia. This forced government to reduce the silver content of the currency and to mix it with cheaper metals.\tShips carrying goods from distant countries had started arriving in European ports.

"The Euphrates river of ancient Mesopotamia was world reowned trade route" How will you justify? |
| Answer» Earlier the task of transportation of goods, food grains and other essential commodities were carried by the beasts of burden or bullock-carts.

It provided people one of the cheapest means of transport, which made possible to transport bulk goods with any difficulty. The boats guided by the direction of winds were available free of cost. Several stream emerging of it provided an excellent source of water transportation. Most of the trade began to carry out on this route.

Features of city of mari |
| Answer» Konsa chapter ka answer ha<br>\tAfter 2000\xa0BCE\xa0the royal capital of Mari flourished. Mari stands not on the southern plain with its highly\xa0productive agriculture\xa0but much further upstream on the Euphrates. Here agriculture and animal rearing were carried out close to each other in this region.\tHerders need to\xa0exchange young animals,cheese, leather and meat in return for grain,metal tools, etc., and the manure of a penned flock is also of great use to a farmer. Yet, at the same time, there may be conflict between the regions.\tIn Mesopotamian nomadic communities of the western desert\xa0filtered into the prosperous agricultural heartland. Shepherds would bring their flocks into the sown area in the summer.\tSuch groups would come in as herders,\xa0harvest labourersor hired soldiers, occasionally become prosperous, and settle down. A few gained the power to establish their own rule. These included the Akkadians, Amorites,Assyrians and Aramaeans.\tThe kings of Mari, however, had to\xa0be vigilant; herders of various tribes were allowed to move in the kingdom, but they were watched.The camps of herders are mentioned frequently in letters between kings and officials. In one letter, an officer writes to the king that he has been seeing frequent fire signals at night – sent by one camp to another – and he suspects that a raid or an attack is being planned.\tLocated on the Euphrates in a\xa0prime position for trade\xa0– in wood,copper, tin, oil, wine, and various other goods that were carried in boats along the Euphrates – between the south and the mineral rich uplands of Turkey, Syria and Lebanon.\tBoats carrying grinding stones, wood, and wine and oil jars, would stop at Mari on their way to the southern cities. Officers of this town would go aboard, inspect the cargo and levy a charge of\xa0about one-tenth the value of the goods\xa0before allowing the boat to continue downstream.\tThus, although the kingdom of Mari\xa0was not militarily strong, but it was exceptionally prosperous. | |

What are effects of Renaissance? |
| Answer» Effects of Renaissance(a) BEGINNING OF MODERN AGEi) Humanism: Humanism was one of the movements that started in Italy in fourteenth century.\xa0Italian universities were centres of legal studies.\xa0Francesco Petrarch\xa0is known as ‘Father of Humanism’. He\xa0suggested a shift from the study of law to the ancient Roman culture and texts. The term ‘humanism’ was first used by\xa0Roman lawyer and essayist\xa0Cicero. Humanists thought that they were restoring ‘true civilisation’ after centuries of darkness, for they believed that a\xa0‘Dark Age’\xa0had set in after the collapse of the Roman Empire. The period from the fifth to fourteenth centuries was the\xa0Middle Ages, and the\xa0Modern Age\xa0started from fifteenth century.\tHumanistic art: In the fifteenth century, Florence was recognised for its wo prominent Renaissance men.\xa0Dante Alighieri\xa0(1265-1321), an eminent poet and philosopher of Italy who wrote on religious themes (he is known for his classic ‘The DIvine Comedy‘), and\xa0Giotto\xa0(1267-1337), an artist who painted lifelike portraits, very different from the stiff figures done by earlier artists. From then it developed as the most exciting intellectual city in Italy and as a centre of artistic creativity.\tHumanistic literature, Humanities stream:\xa0By the early fifteenth century, the term ‘humanist’ was used for masters who taught grammar, rhetoric, poetry, history and moral philosophy.\xa0The Latin word\xa0humanitas, from which ‘humanities’ was derived, had been used many centuries ago\xa0to mean culture. These subjects were not drawn from or connected with religion, and emphasised skills developed by individuals through discussion and debate.\xa0Giovanni Boccaccio\xa0was the greatest writer and humanist who wrote\xa0Decameron.\xa0The universities of Padua and Bologna had been centers of legal studies.\tHumanists reached out to people in a variety of ways. Though the curricula in universities continued to be dominated by law, medicine and theology, humanist subjects slowly began to be introduced in schools, not just in Italy but in other European countries as well. | |
