6 Cuneiform (Lesson 2) Cuneiform script is one of the earliest known forms of writing. It started out as pictures, called pictographs. By around the year 3000 B.C., these pictographs had become simplified, so that they would be easier and faster to write. Also by this time, the Sumerians had started to come up with cuneiform letters to represent sounds, just like our alphabet. Their writing became a mix of cuneiform pictographs, cuneiform letters, and even some cuneiform syllables. To make cuneiform even easier to write, the Sumerians stopped writing up and down, and started writing from left to right and top to bottom, as we do today. Cuneiform was written onto clay tablets, or sometimes carved into stones. Clay was useful because it could be reshaped and reused later in the day, or it could be dried by a fire like pottery and kept permanently. To make the marks on the clay, reeds with a pointy (but not sharp) edge were used to press into the clay. They did not drag through the clay like we drag a pencil or pen across a piece of paper. Instead the wedge-shaped reed stylus was pressed into the clay from above. In fact, the name cuneiform comes from the Latin word cuneus, which means wedge. The Sumerians did not call their system of writing cuneiform. That name came later. Write your first name in cuneiform. Write it in English under each symbol. Then write a sentence in cuneiform that a Sumerian would write. It can be about almost anything but it should apply to Sumerian life. (Advice: You will need to spell out words like a, an, and the in letter form. The more Sumerian word symbols you use, the easier it will be. See the example below.) Lightly shade in the entire stele using your pencil. Example: Name Sentence More info on back

10 Leaders of the Fertile Crescent Directions: On page 34 of your folder you are going to create a trading card for one of the leaders discussed in Chapter 2. Please select from one of the following Gilgamesh, Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, Nebuchadnezzar II, King David, or Solomon. Use the steps below to complete activity. Draw your leader on the front of your trading card. Color your picture. **You can find pictures on pages 4-5 and of your textbook. Write the leader s name on the front of your card, below your picture. On the back be sure to include the following: Name of leader towards the top of your card Ruled (Leader of) Dates of leadership B.C. - B.C. 2 MAJOR Highlights/Accomplishments from their career
11 Leaders of the Fertile Crescent Brief Biographies Gilgamesh [dates of leadership between 2750 and 2500 B.C.]: A legendary Sumerian king, the hero of Sumerian and Babylonian epics. He is the hero of the Gilgamesh epic, a work of some 3,000 lines, written on 12 tablets c.2000 B.C. and discovered among the ruins at Nineveh. The epic was lost when the the library of the Assyrian king Ashurbanipal was destroyed in 612 B.C. Gilgamesh became obsessed by a fear of death and wanted to obtain immortality. Sargon [dates of leadership 2334 to 2279 B.C.]: Mesopotamian ruler; founder of Akkadian empire. He completed Shalmaneser's siege of Samaria in 721 B.C., thus destroying the northern Israelite kingdom forever. In 720 he defeated a coalition of enemies at Raphia. He captured Carchemish, subdued Babylonia, and advanced eastward to Kurdistan. He founded the last great Assyrian dynasty. Hammurabi [dates of leadership B.C]: King of Babylonia. He founded an empire that was eventually destroyed by raids from Asia Minor. Hammurabi may have begun building the tower of Babel, which can now be identified with the temple-tower in Babylon called Etemenanki. His code of laws is one of the greatest of ancient codes. The code, which addresses such issues as business and family relations, labor, private property, and personal injuries, is generally humanitarian. One severe feature, however, is the retributive nature of the punishment, which follows an eye for an eye literally. Much of the code is drawn from earlier Sumerian and Semitic laws, which seem to provide the basis for its harshly punitive nature. Ashurbanipal [dates of leadership B.C.]: The last of the great kings of Assyria, he drove Taharka out of Egypt and firmly established Necho in power there. His reign ended the greatness of the empire (although two of his sons ruled briefly after his death), and Assyria succumbed to the Medes and the Persians only a few years later. His great expenditures in wars to preserve the state contributed somewhat to its collapse. Nebuchadnezzar II [dates of leadership B.C.]: Nebuchadnezzar was the most important king of the Second Babylonian empire. According to the Bible, he conquered Judah and Jerusalem, and sent the Jews into exile. He is credited with the construction of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, one of the 7 wonders of the ancient world, and the destruction of the First Temple. King David [dates of leadership B.C.]: Under David's rule Israel's regions unite and win battles with surrounding enemies. Jerusalem comes to be known as the "City of David" and the center of government and worship. The Star of David, a Jewish symbol in recent centuries, appears on the flag of the modern state of Israel. Solomon [dates of leadership B.C.]: King of the ancient Hebrews; son and successor of David. According to the Bible. Solomon's reign was marked by foreign alliances (notably with Egypt and Phoenicia) and the greatest extension of Israel's territory in biblical times. He built numerous cities, constructed copper smelting furnaces in the Negev, and had the first temple built at Jerusalem.

After you discover what each of the pictures above represent, color your cover page above. Then cut this page out. Once you have completed these steps, please wait for further directions from your teacher.
15 Chapter 2 Key Concepts LESSON 1: The Fertile Crescent Civilization is a large complex society. The Fertile Crescent is the location of the first civilizations and is located between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. Although the climate was hot and dry with frequent floods, Mesopotamians were able to adapt to and modify their environment. Mesopotamian farmers grew wheat and barley which still grows there today. LESSON 2: Mesopotamia The Mesopotamian civilizations of Sumer and Akkad flourished from about 3500 B.C. to 2000 B.C. Gilgamesh has become a mythical figure whose epic story of common human experiences has lasted for years Mystery surrounds the life of the Mesopotamian king, Sargon, who held power for about 56 years. Ziggurats were believed by Mesopotamians to link the heavens to the earth Sumerians created a wedged-shape writing known as cuneiform. LESSON 3: Babylonia and Assyria New empires in the Fertile Crescent advanced by adapting earlier Mesopotamian culture. Hammurabi was a brilliant brutal warrior whose crowning achievement as a ruler was his code of laws. Ashurbanipal was a very educated king who controlled nearly all of the Fertile Crescent during his reign. Dedicated to a Babylonian goddess, the Ishtar Gate, built about 580 B.C., was the main entryway into Babylonia. LESSON 4: Hebrews, Phoenicians, and Lydians Judaism became one of the first religions in the world to worship only one god (monotheism). The Torah is a sacred text that provides guidance and laws for the Hebrew people. The Phoenicians linked the world through trade and developed an alphabet. The invention of coins by the Lydians made it easier to pay for goods and services. DIRECTIONS: Please cut this page out. Then glue this page directly on the back side of your Chapter 2 cover page.
