Storyboard Tekst
- so today we are in the land of mesopotamia
- also mordern day Iraq
- Mesopotamia was in between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers
- so there was plenty of water to go around
- The northern part was hilly and rainey, and the southern part was flat and dry
- it was very hard to live in mesopotamia
- and without crops there was no food and without food there was nothing to eat
- and with not enogh or to munch rain it was hard to grow crops
- in Mesopotamia there was either to munch rain or not enogh
- so two solutions that help were They built levees also farmers poked holes in the levees, allowing the water to flow through the holes and into the thirsty fields.
- the rivers had a big inpact for mesopotamia and they sometimes caused problems so they biult a irrigation system
- one problem was that there was uncontrolled water supply.
- another big problem with the rivers was the mountains snow would drop into the water and overflow the rivers
- farmers had to clean the canals or else they would get silt in them and a one dirty canal could ruin the whole system
- framers could not do this alone so thats wear all the villages had to come together and thats when city-state were made
- after a while city-states starting fighting over water and upstem citys would block the water from downstream
- and that eventlley led to war
- and thats how citys were made from mesopotamia
