Archaeology of Mesopotamia

The archaeology of Mesopotamia involves studying the ancient civilizations that developed in the region between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, such as the Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians, and Assyrians. By excavating artifacts, buildings, and tablets, archaeologists uncover insights into early urban life, writing, law, religion, and technology. This field helps us understand how complex societies emerged, organized themselves, and influenced future civilizations, providing a key to understanding early human history and societal development in one of the world's first cradles of civilization.
