Culture intro
Culture is the way people live their everyday lives. It also helps the beliefs, attitudes, and the personalities of the people, For example the language they speak, what foods they eat, and what kind of clothes they wear. It was what separated people from other people that believed or had a different culture. The world has culture because if the world different then everyone would be the same and nobody would be different than each other. So when culture developed it changed people and their families so no one would be the same. And the Mesopotamians believed that when they grow crops they need to give it to the gods and they would give it back to thee priests to give to you. this way every one would almost be equals to each other. It was also able to influence writing because without it writing nobody would know about history. Next, the architecture was influenced by culture because of the studies and shapes of the buildings. Then it impacted the innovations all of the different shaped tools and the new tools that were created. Finally, it was an achievement because it helped us achieve all of our goal today.

The people started to write down long stories called epics so they could hear the story all the time. Achievements in Mesopotamia made people go farther than ever before.
