    LESSON PLAN
    In this unit we´re learning the most relevant facts and events that took place during the first
    civilizations in Mesopotamia.

    - 3.- Political and economic organization.
    - 4.- Society, religion and daily life.

    QUESTION 2.-CONCEPTS
    You will have also to answer five of the following definitions. It would be interesting if you started
    studying them at home from the beginning of the unit.

    • Mesopotamia: an ancient historical area in what is now Iraq and surrounding areas,
    between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers.
    • Sumer: an ancient region in southern Mesopotamia that contained a number of
    independent cities and city-states of which the first were established possibly as early as
    5000 b.c.: conquered by the Elamites and, about 2000 b.c., by the Babylonians; a number
    of its cities, as Ur, Uruk, Kish, and Lagash, are major archaeological sites in southern Iraq.
    • Akkad: an ancient region lying north of Babylon, from which the Akkadian language and
    culture is named, it is also a city on the Euphrates in N Babylonia, the center of a major
    empire and civilization (2360–2180 bc)
    • Gudea: was a ruler (ensi) of the state of Lagash in Southern Mesopotamia, who ruled
    between 2080–2060 BC. Under Gudea, Lagash had a golden age, and seemed to enjoy
    a high level of independence.
    • Code of Hammurabi: The Code of Hammurabi is a Babylonian legal text composed
    during 1755–1750 BC. It is the longest, best-organised, and best-preserved legal text
    from the ancient Near East. It is written in the Old Babylonian dialect of Akkadian,
    purportedly by Hammurabi, sixth king of the First Dynasty of Babylon.
    • Marduk: was a god from ancient Mesopotamia and patron deity of the city of Babylon.
    In the city of Babylon, Marduk was worshipped in the temple Esagila.
    • Ziggurat: is a type of massive structure built in ancient Mesopotamia. The Sumerians
    believed that the gods lived in the temple at the top of the Ziggurats, so only priests and
    other highly respected individuals could enter. Society offered them many things such as
    music, harvest, and creating devotional statues to live in the temple.
