Ancient Civilizations and Their Accomplishments

Mesopotamia

• used irrigation and canals to help water crops during the dry season.

Sumer• Was an advanced society that consisted of large city-

states, fortified cities, and strong armies. • Sumerians are credited with many accomplishments:

– The first writing system called cuneiform; they wrote works on history, law, grammar, math, and literature.

– Wheels used for vehicles and for making pottery. – The plow & irrigation which increased farm production.– The sundial clock for telling time.– Sewer systems– Use of bronze to strengthen tools and weapons.

Israel• Was the first monotheistic

civilization. • Establisahed a kingdom in

Jerusalem and built Solomon’s Temple. Over time this temple was destroyed (by Babylonians), rebuilt, and destroyed again (by the Romans).

• The Jews were killed, exiled, or enslaved by several groups that conquered the region including the Babylonians, Assyrians, and Romans.

BabylonDeveloped

Hammurabi’s Code which was a thorough set of written laws.

If a man strikes a free-born woman so that she loses her unborn child, he shall pay ten shekels for her loss. If a man puts out the eye of a patrician, his eye shall be put out. If a man knocks the teeth out of another man, his own teeth will be knocked out. If anyone commits a robbery and is caught, he shall be put to death.

Phoenicia

• Built the world’s finest harbors to enhance trade over the waterways

• Developed one of the world’s first alphabets (on which our current alphabet is based).

Persia

• known for paintings, carpet, metalwork, architecture

Byzantine Empire (Romans)

• Established a strong military presence in the region.

• Forced Jews into exile (leading to Diaspora) and helped advance the spread of Christianity.

Muslims

• Defeated the Persian and Byzantine Empires but allowed Jews and Christians to practice their religion.

• Grew into three separate empires: Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal.

Ottoman Empire

• Grew into areas of North Africa, Central Asia, and Europe. The Ottomans were Sunni Muslims.

• Survived until the end of World War I

Safavid Empire

• consisted of Shia Muslims who moved to occupy present-day Iran (which is largely Shia to this day). This was the origin of the Shah.

Mughal Empire

• Moved into northern India (which includes present-day Pakistan) and established a tolerant religious policy that allowed Muslims and Hindus to live in peace. Later emperors reversed the policy which led to violence.

Cultural Achievements of the Muslims

• Focus on astronomy helped develop better understanding of time and of geography.

• Focus on geography led to accurate maps that assisted in exploration and trade.

• Focus on mathematics led to the development of Algebra. • Focus on medicine led to cures for many serious diseases. • Focus on literature and the arts led to significant works of poetry

and short stories including ones about Sinbad, Aladdin, and Ali Baba. It also led to use of calligraphy and an emphasis on architecture, especially for mosques.

Note that Muslim Empires ruled parts of the world from 632 CE through to 1923.
