Archaeology of Ancient Mesopotamia

The archaeology of ancient Mesopotamia involves studying the remains of its early civilizations, like the Sumerians, Akkadians, and Babylonians, in the land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. By excavating ancient sites, artifacts, and ruins, archaeologists uncover insights into their cities, writing systems (like cuneiform), laws, religious practices, and daily life. This field helps us understand how complex societies developed, how they interacted, and their contributions to human history, laying the foundation for many aspects of modern civilization.
