Storyboard Tekst

  • Problem 1
  • Father, what can we do? The population in the mountains are increasing and we can't gather enough food for everyone!
  • Hmm... I think there might be a solution...
  • Solution 1
  • Wow! Are these plains? What are we doing here? There's nothing on the plains to gather?
  • Well, nothing to gather yet. We will grow crops here. Collect seeds from plants and bury them in the dirt.
  • Problem 2
  • Let's think of something that could control the water, then.
  • Mother, the river floods every year and all of Father's crops were lost, what can we do?
  • The population in the Zagros mountains was increasing, and by only gathering and hunting in the wild, they can't get enough food.
  • Solution 2
  • We can use the irrigation system to reduce the damage of the flood.
  • The people moved out of the mountains to plains and foot hills. They started to farm instead of being hunter-gatherers.
  • Problem 3
  • Grandfather, the silt is blocking the irrigation system and we can't get enough supply of waters.
  • The Tigris River flood every year and the farmers lost all their crops every time it floods.
  • Solution 3
  • Wow! The cleaning of the irrigation system will improve the living conditions of everyone!
  • See? With everyone working together, the cleaning will be done in no time.
  • The people built an irrigation system to control the flood and water. Irrigation: methods of bringing water to areas of dry land through the use of canals, streams, troughs, pipes etc.
  • What is this for?
  • The silt (find sand, clay, or other material carried by running water and deposited as a sediment, especially in a channel or harbor) blocks the irrigation system. Needs to be cleaned.
  • Don't worry, with everyone working together, anything could be done.
  • The people worked together to clean the irrigation system. The people also made sure everyone had food and water in the villages.
  • Problem 4
  • Don't worry child, our city will defend us.
  • What are we going to do Mother? The city-states are attacking each other and we don't have enough water!
  • Solution 4
  • Wow! It felt safe to be inside the walls! And we have enough water to drink!
  • The city had built walls to protect its territory, we are safe now.
  • Summary
  • Solution 1: Farming.Solution 2: Irrigation system.Solution 3: Cooperation between different people.Solution 4: City-states defend themselves by building walls.
  • City-states fight each other to get water rights. They attack each other to fight for the water. These conflicts led to bloodshed.
  • City-states started to defend themselves. For example, city-states build walls to keep out invaders. City-states: a city that has its own government and rules its own territory.
  • Problem 1: Food shortages.Problem 2: Uncontrolled water supply.Problem 3: Silt blocked irrigation system.Problem 4: Bloodshed and war because city-states steal water from each other.
