excavations in Mesopotamia

Excavations in Mesopotamia, often considered the "cradle of civilization," involve archaeological digs in areas like modern-day Iraq. These digs uncover ancient cities, artifacts, and structures that reveal the lives of early societies, such as the Sumerians, Babylonians, and Assyrians. Techniques include careful removal of soil and debris to expose layers of history, dating back thousands of years. Discoveries, like cuneiform tablets, pottery, and temples, provide insights into the region's culture, economy, and innovations. The findings contribute significantly to our understanding of human development and early urban life.
