Mesopotamian Influence

Mesopotamian influence refers to how the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, located in modern Iraq and Syria, shaped many aspects of later cultures. They pioneered writing with cuneiform, established early legal codes like the Code of Hammurabi, and advancements in agriculture, mathematics, and urban planning. Their innovations in governance, literature, and technology laid foundational elements for civilizations that followed, including the Greeks and Romans. This influence persists today through concepts of law, record-keeping, and urban development that trace back to these early Mesopotamian societies.
