Client’s 23 January Mesopotamian civilization is one of the oldest civilizations. Mesopotamians were very progressive and took appropriate steps to make significant progress. They placed special emphasis on education and knew that it was an important part of life.

“Formal education was practical and aimed to train scribes and priests. It was extended from basic reading, writing, and religion to higher learning in law, medicine, and astrology.” (A Place for Civilization to Begin)

The Mesopotamians were religious and believed in several deities, they also believed that water existed almost everywhere. They also believed in an air God and there were several other deities who existed for the Mesopotamians. They also classified Gods as more powerful and less powerful, according to them Enlil was the most powerful God who was capable of doing anything. They had special respect for Enlil because of his unique powers. Religious teachings did influence daily life, they also asked themselves questions like who are we? Where are we? How and why did we get here? To conclude it is very fair to say that the Mesopotamians were very God fearing people and they also believed in Philosophy, they were very inclined towards philosophical quotes and devoted time towards learning the best ones.
