Urban history starts in ancient Mesopotamia. In this volume Marc Van De Mieroop examines the evolution of the very earliest cities which, for millennia, inspired the rest of the ancient world. The city determined every aspect of Mesopotamian civilization, and the political and social structure, economy, literature, and arts of Mesopotamian culture cannot be understood without acknowledging their urban background. - ;Urban history starts in ancient Mesopotamia: the earliest known cities developed there as the result of long indigenous processes, and, for millennia, the city determined every aspect of Mesopotamian civilization. Marc Van De Mieroop examines urban life in the historical period, investigating urban topography, the role of cities as centres of culture, their political and social structures, economy, literature, and the arts. He draws on material from the entirety of Mesopotamian history, from c. 3000 to 300 BC, and from both Babylonia and Assyria, arguing that the Mesopotamian city can be regarded as a prototype that inspired the rest of the ancient world and shared characteristics with the European cities of antiquity. -

When you're planning a field trip or looking for fun facts about ancient Mesopotamia, keep these points in mind. The region was a prime location for human settlement and was near the Euphrates and Tigris rivers. Its geography and good weather conditions made it an excellent place to build cities, so the region was the perfect place to develop the earliest civilizations. The area was populated for over a million years and was the site of several empires. Many people who lived in this region developed advanced civilizations, including the first known urban civilizations. Sumer was the heartland of ancient Mesopotamia, and the city of Eridu is considered the first city in the world.The Mesopotamian civilization was highly advanced and had many achievements. It was one of the earliest civilisations to adopt writing and was home to the earliest human communities. This civilization was also the cradle of the Neolithic Revolution, which began around 10,000 BC. During this time, the human race made great strides and developed the first written language, cursive script, and mathematics.The first written works were created in Mesopotamia. The Akkadian Empire was the first multi-national realm in history. Enheduanna, the daughter of Sargon the Great, is the first author known by name. The palace in Mari had over 20,000 cuneiform tablets, and the library was one of the best in the region. Assyrian Kingdoms spread and fought each other in an effort to conquer the area. The Guti Tribe took over and dominated the politics of Mesopotamia for more than a thousand years.
