MESOPOTAMIA

Here's your chance to learn about four ancient cultures that prospered in the "cradle of civilization" - the Sumerians, the Akkadians, the Assyrians, and the Babylonians. Read about Sumer's long list of "firsts"; the power of the Akkadians; the magnificent Assyrian palace at Nineveh, and Hammurabi's determination to codify Babylonia's laws. And there's more, including a map, a time line, and creation tales. There's also a brief piece on the earliest known complete alphabet - which is it, you ask? For the answer, check out CALLIOPE ®'s October 2006 issue on Mesopotamia.
