City-states, nations and empires.

 Archaeologists and scientists look for ways to learn about ancient people by studying their geography,
government, religion, inventions, and daily life, to discover how people lived and what they accomplished
thousands of years ago. Archaeologists have learned a great deal about these early civilizations from the
artifacts (man-made objects) they left behind. Come meet your clever, creative ancestors! They were a riot!

Very early humans probably ate mostly plants, fruit, nuts and roots that they found. Any meat they got was

could not outrun saber-toothed tigers or cave lions. Early humans had to get smart to survive. They had to

Ancient Mesopotamia Five thousand (5,000) Over 2,500 years ago,

Mesopotamia were built

They made beautiful
pottery and built homes
of sun-baked brick. They
even built a library.
Ancient Mesopotamia is
composed of three main
civilizations - ancient
Sumer, ancient Babylon,
and ancient Assyria.
These were the first real

3. GROUP LEARNING
Classroom Museum:
Gods, Goddesses, Demons and Monsters
The people of Mesopotamia believed that their world was controlled by gods and goddesses, demons and
monsters. There were hundreds of gods who were responsible for everything in the world, from rivers and
trees to making bread and pottery. Each city was protected by its own special god or goddess and their
family. Large temples were built in the center of the city for these gods to live in. Priests looked after the gods
with special rituals. There were also smaller temples throughout the city where ordinary people could make
offerings.
3.1 In group of three, choose one of the following list of the most important gods, goddesses, demons and
monsters and bring information to class to create a draw and exposition for the classroom museum.
