Writing
The writing they had in Mesopotamia satrted as pictograms these were pictures on clay tablets.After this they used cuneiform which is a form of ancient writing this was a better way of communication for them. We now use the same kind of writing in larger sections of the world to make our communication easier
Royal Tombs in Ur
There were 1800 tombs but out of them all only 16 had special items in them. They were then called “The Royal Tombs”. The impact this made on Mesopotamia was that they had found the Royal Tombs and had discovered something new. Now some areas in modern society still use tombs.
Mudbrick Ziggurats
These religious ziggurats were discovered in Sumer these ziggurats were later on used in Babylonian and Assyrian. The impact left on ancient Mesopotamia was that ziggurats were then used in a more expanded area. This has left a religious mark on modern society.
Warfare in Assyria
The Warfare in Assyria had left the rule that regions which had been conquered by the Assyrian army had to pay tribute to the king every year, but if they rebelled the army was sent after him. This made an impact that they leaned to fight in order to earn the things they wanted or were sent to do. In modern society we now have an army and we fight for our freedom in the US.
