The most important achievements of the Mesopotamians
are the levees, tools, irrigation systems, writing, art,
technology, and laws. The Mesopotamians created levees to
stop the water from flash flooding. Mesopotamians created tools like the plow. The plow helped the farmers plant crops easier. Irrigation systems were another invention. The
Mesopotamians created irrigation systems to bring water to the other cities The Mesopotamians created a language Cuneiform. Cuneiform was used for a different kind of language. They wrote on a clay tablet with a sharp object. They were the first people to make art and paintings like pictures of the gods. These are the inventions from the Mesopotamians.
The levees are the most important invention created by the Mesopotamians. It would stop flash flooding. Levees help us in planting. It would not destroy their houses. It’s a good invention because it is not making people to drive or walk just to get water for their plants. It also would control the water. The levees helped Mesopotamians to create dams and dug canals. This is why levees had the most power.

The story of Gilgamesh

The story of Gilgamesh takes place in the city of Uruk. The story involves Gilgamesh and Enkidu and Humbaba. In the beginning, Gilgamesh and Enkidu get bored and go to the woods to get wood for their temples. Then when Gilgamesh and Enkidu are walking through the forest they see Humbaba. Humbaba appears and fights Gilgamesh and Enkidu. In the end, Enkidu and Gilgamesh cut off his head.
The message of the story is a great hero. I choose this because Gilgamesh went to the forest and fought Humbaba. Also, in the story he built a great empire. Another reason is because he brougth back Humbabas head.
I believe Gilgamesh is a hero because he fought the demon. Also, he cut his head off and destroyed him. Finally, he made lots of stuff with the wood. In my opinion, Gilgamesh was a hero.
