mesopotamia

• aphrodite’nin rahibelerinden birinin kızı. tigre (dicle) ile euphrate (fırat) nehirlerinin kızkardeşi. üç delikanlı, mesopotamia’ya birden talip oldular. çünkü aphrodite, ona dünyada pek az bakireye nasip olan harikulade bir güzellik vermişti. bostoros adında, dürüst bir adamın hakemliğini üç delikanlı kabul ettiler. hakem, üç talibi birden güzel kızın huzuruna çıkarttı, delikanlılardan biri mesopotamia’ya çok kıymetli bir kupa takdim etti, ikincisi onun güzel başına, elmaslarla, incilerle süslenmiş bir taç koydu. üçüncüsü gitti, sadece mesopotamia’yı kucakladı. hakem, güzel kızın üçüncüye verilmesini uygun buldu. fakat ötekiler bu teklifi kabul etmediler. kılıçlarını çektiler, birbirlerini öldürdüler. mesopotamia, bakire bir kız olarak kaldı.

  sözleride böyle:
  
  mesopotamia, mesopotamia
  you fucking give me the creeps
  you fucking give me the creeps
  i've never known another city to burn
  
  face down in the bottom of a river
  swimming with the dead makes me wanna shiver
  if you really wanna know, i'd rather just drown alone
  
  clay fingers reaching for the ceiling
  once numb, now tingling with feeling
  you'll see in the end that nothing really gets away.
  
  and i'd give it all up just to be with you.
  
  mesopotamia, mesopotamia
  you fucking give me the creeps
  you fucking give me the creeps
  i've never known another city to burn
  
  you took back the mud from which you're made
  and threw it at me like a fucking grenade
  you keep cutting my throat, then you ask me if i'm feeling ok
  
  this city is just like any other
  they keep blowing it up, then building up another
  if you look in the whole, you'll see it ain't going away
  
  and i'd give it all up to just to be with you
  
  mesopotamia, mesopotamia
  you fucking give me the creeps
  you fucking give me the creeps
  i've never known another city to burn
  city to burn.

• mesopotamia
  the story of writing astronomy and law. the story of civilisation itself begins in one place not egypt not greece not rome but mesopotamia.
  
  mesopotamia is an exceedingly fertile plain situated between the tigris and euphrates rivers for five millennia this small strip of land situated in what is today ıraq kuwait and syria fostered innovations that would change the world.
  
  ınhabited for nearly 12000 years mesopotamians stable climate rich soil and steady supply of fresh water made it ideal for agriculture to develop and thrive.
  
  about 6000 years ago seemingly overnight some of these agriculture settlements blossomed into some of the world’s first cities (ur uruk babil akad nımrud ashur ninova)
  
  ın the period between 4000 and 3100 bc mesopotamia was dotted with a constellation of competing city states
  
  at one point they were unified under the akkadian empire and then broke apart forming the empires of assyria and babylon.
  
  despite near constant warfare innovation and development thrived in ancient mesopotamia they built on a monumental scale from palaces to ziggurats mammoth temples served as ritual location to commune with the gods.
  
  they also developed advanced mathematics including a base 60 system that created a 60 second minute a 60 minute hour and a 360 degree circular angle.
  
  the babylonians used their sophisticated system of mathematics to map and study the sky.
  
  they divided one earth year into twelve periods each was named after the most prominent constellations in the heavens.

  tasritu-arahsamna-kûlimu-tebetu-sabatu
  adaaru)
  
  a tradition later adopted by the greeks to create the zodiacs (koç boğa ikizler yengeç aslan başak terazi akrep yay oğlak kova balık)
  
  they also divided the week into seven days naming each after their seven gods embodied by the seven observable planets in the sky

  but perhaps the most impactful innovation to come out of mesopotamia is literacy. what began as simple pictures scrawled on to wet clay to keep track of goods and wealth developed into a sophisticated writing system by the year 3200 bc.
  
  this writing system would come to be called junia form in modern times improved so flexible that over the span of three thousands years it would be adapted for over a dozen different major languages and countless uses.
  
  ıncluding recording the law of the babylon king hammurabi which formed the basis of a standardised justice system.
  
  but mesopotamia success became its undoing.
  
  babylon in particular proved too rich estate to resist outside envy.
  
  ın 539 bc the persian king cyrus (kiros) conquered babylon and filled this control over the entirety of mesopotamia.
  
  for centuries this area became a territory of foreign empires.
  
  eventually mesopotamia would fade like its king into the mists of history and its cities would sink beneath the sands of ıraq.
  
  but its ideas would prevail in literacy law math astronomy and the gift of civilisation itself.
