Compare and contrast mesopotamian civilizations!!?
The Middle East, c. 600 BC, showing extent of Chaldean rule in comparison to other dominions. Babylonia was an ancient cultural region in central-southern Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq), with Babylon as its capital. The founder and first king of an independent Babylon was a certain Amorite chieftain named Sumuabum who declared independence from the neighboring city-state of Kazallu in 1894 BC, and was a contemporary of Erishum I of Assyria. Babylonia emerged as a powerful nation when the Amorite king Hammurabi (fl. ca. 1792 – 1750 BC) created a short lived empire out of the territories of the former Akkadian Empire. Babylonia adopted the written Semitic Akkadian language for official use, and retained the Sumerian language for religious use, which by that time was no longer a spoken language. The Akkadian and Sumerian traditions played a major role in later Babylonian culture, and the region would remain an important cultural center, even under outside rule, throughout the Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age. Babylon as an independent state was founded by and rose to prominence under non native Amorites and spent the most part of its history ruled by their fellow Mesopotamians, the Assyrians or by foreign dynasties such as Kassites, Elamites, Hittites, Arameans, Chaldeans, Persians, Greeks and Parthians. The earliest mention of the city of Babylon can be found in a tablet from the reign of Sargon of Akkad, dating back to the 23rd century BC. Approximately one hundred years or so after the collapse of the last Sumerian "Ur-III" dynasty at the hands of the Elamites (2002 BC traditional, 1940 BC short), the Amorites gained control over most of Mesopotamia, where they usurped the thrones of Assyria, Mari, Eshnunna Ur, Isin, Larsa and other already long established states in Mesopotamia and formed a series of small kingdoms. During the first centuries of what is called the "Amorite period", the most powerful city states in the south were the former Sumerian cities of Isin and Larsa, although Shamshi-Adad I of Assyria united the more northern regions around Ashur and Mari. One of these Amorite dynasties established the city-state of Babylon in the 19th century BC, which would over a hundred years later briefly take over the others and form the first Babylonian empire, during what is also called the Old Babylonian Period

7. Compare and contrast Andean and Mesoamerican civilizations. (Aztec & Inca)?
Old world civilizations like China or the Muslim empire started out similar to the civilizations of the Americas. There were tribes that got together at a time of crisis and they had animal and human sacrifices. As time went on though, they got more advanced, unlike the American civilizations. Through connection to the west and trade routes between each other, they have much more important history that lead to social, political, religious, and technological advancement. The fact that the area of the Old World was vaster and there were more people who each discovered different things, and when they added trade routes, everyone advanced incredibly. The Americas did not have this advantage.

How do the Sumerian's contributions to civilization compare and contrast to the Byzantine contributions?
I love reading about the Eastern Romans but come on, this is chalk and cheese.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Su...Evidence of wheeled vehicles appeared in the mid 4th millennium BC, near-simultaneously in Mesopotamia, the Northern Caucasus (Maykop culture) and Central Europe. The wheel initially took the form of the potter's wheel. The new concept quickly led to wheeled vehicles and mill wheels. The Sumerians' cuneiform script is the oldest (or second oldest after the Egyptian hieroglyphs) which has been deciphered (the status of even older inscriptions such as the Jiahu symbols and Tartaria tablets is controversial). The Sumerians were among the first astronomers, mapping the stars into sets of constellations, many of which survived in the zodiac and were also recognized by the ancient Greeks.Sumer laid the foundations.
How did the Sumerians contribute to civilization?
They contributed in a colossal, and to many quite unexpected way.In a sense, the land of Sumer stood at the dawn of civilization, as to current knowledge, no other known civilization as sophisticated and advanced as she was existed before the time Sumer was around.There is one way through which the Sumerian civilization made a very strong and everlasting impact, namely through the perception of time, as Sumerians introduced the world to the Sexagisemal system, a mathematical form of measuring time, angles and geographic coordinates.How is this relevant? Well, it is the reason why we now universally measure time in the same way:60 seconds makes a minute, 60 minutes makes an hour, all kept within 24 hours, 7 days a week, 12 months. You can attribute the “invention” of our current way of tracking time directly to the Sumerians, which made a huge impact on anything we do, that has some form of connection to this systematic way of keeping track of time.It is almost unimaginable how much of an impact it made on our collective concious, even though it is just a way of measuring things, we have based our judgement on when to be doing what accordingly, and you bet it wouldn’t have been the same if a week would have had, say, 10 days. History and daily life would have spinned differently!
