Course Description

Mesopotamia, “the land between two rivers,” occupies an essential place in human history; it is the site of the earliest urbanized societies, agricultural and barter economies, the development of writing, religion, astronomy, astrology, and scientific inquiry in the natural world through empirical observation. It is the location of humankind’s first empires, which have profoundly influenced subsequent civilizations and the modern Abrahamic faiths. This course outlines the development of these earliest societies in and around the ancient Near East from the fourth millennium BCE to the second century CE.
