Vanishing Marshlands: The new studies show that a further 325 square kilometres have dried out since 2000 leaving just seven per cent of the original area. Unless urgent action is taken to reverse the trend and re-habilitate the marshlands, the entire wetland known as the Hawr Al-Hawizeh in Iraq and Hawr Al-Azim in Iran, are likely to have gone in three to five years.

Drawing on historical and new satellite imagery, the UNEP study graphically documents the scale and speed of their disappearance. Despite intermittent warnings against the imminent decline of the Mesopotamian marshlands, there has been little immediate action to avoid such a fate. Iraq's difficult situation in the past decade has limited access to and hindered monitoring of events in the marshlands. As a result, this major ecological disaster, broadly comparable in extent and rapidity to the drying of the Aral Sea and the deforestation of large tracts of Amazonia, has gone virtually unreported until now. Comprising an integral part of the Tigris-Euphrates river system, the marshlands are located at the confluence of the two rivers in southern Iraq, and partially extend into Iran. The study shows that these vast wetlands which once covered between 15,000 and 20,000 square kilometres now cover less than 1,300 square kilometres.

http://www.angelfire.com/nt/Gilgamesh/proto.html

Extractions: Mesopotamian protohistory Attempts have been made by philologists to reach conclusions about the origin of the flowering of civilization in southern Mesopotamia by the analysis of Sumerian words. It has been thought possible to isolate an earlier, non-Sumerian substratum from the Sumerian vocabulary by assigning certain words on the basis of their endings to either a Neolithic or a Chalcolithic language stratum. These attempts are based on the phonetic character of Sumerian at the beginning of the 2nd millennium BC, which is at least 1,000 years later than the invention of writing . Quite apart, therefore, from the fact that the structure of Sumerian words themselves is far from adequately investigated, the enormous gap in time casts grave doubt on the criteria used to distinguish between Sumerian and " pre-Sumerian " vocabulary. The earliest peoples of Mesopotamia who can be identified from inscribed monuments and written tradition[ people in the sense of speakers of a common language ]are, apart from the

Extractions: The emergence of Mesopotamian civilization The Late Neolithic Period and the Chalcolithic Period . Between about 10,000 BC and the genesis of large permanent settlements, the following stages of development are distinguishable, some of which run parallel The change to sedentary life , or the transition from continual or seasonal change of abode, characteristic of hunter-gatherers and the earliest cattle breeders, to life in one place over a period of several years or even permanently. The transition from experimental plant cultivation to the deliberate and calculated farming of grains and leguminous plants. The erection of houses and the associated " settlement " of the gods in temples The burial of the dead in cemeteries The invention of clay vessels , made at first by hand, then turned on the wheel and fired to ever greater degrees of hardness, at the same time receiving almost invariably decoration of incised designs or painted patterns, The development of specialized crafts and the distribution of labour Metal production (the first use of metalcoppermarks the transition from the Late Neolithic to the Chalcolithic Period).

Extractions: The earliest Near Eastern settlements were in the region known as Mesopotamia, a Greek word meaning "the land between the rivers" the Tigirs and Euphrates, whose generous waters were brought under control by a system of dikes and irrigation canals. This prosperous area is also known as the Fertile Cresent. About 4000 b.c. the land of Sumer was inhabited by a people who developed a hightly organized society. The Sumerians invented an early numerical sytem and also devised a form of writing on clay tablets with wedge-shaped characters called cuneiforum The Sumerians believed in a pantheon of gods who personified the creative and destructive forces of nature. Each city honored it's special deity by erecting a ziggurat , which means "mountian" or "Pinnacle." Architectecturally, these towers were concieved as dwelling places of the god who watched over the fortunes of the town. They were also the center of the powerful priesthood, where scribes kept written records, accounts, and inventories of food and supllies. In the flat surrounding countryside these multistoried structures rose so hight that they were thought, as recorded in the Bible, to "reach unto heaven." The 270 - foot ziggurat at Babylon was the legendary Tower of Babel, but now ony the foundation remains. The ziggurat at Ur, dating from 2100 b.c., was also an imposing pile. Mesopotamian structures used a sun-dried mud-brick core faced with yellowish baked brick laid in bitumen.

Extractions: NM's Creative Impulse Development of Western Civilization I World History I Mesopotamia Search or look it up in the Encyclopedia Britannica Contact Information The Mesopotamian plain was part of the Fertile Crescent. Situated between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, the area was the birth place of the varied civilizations that developed writing, schools, libraries, written law codes and moved us from prehistory to history. The Sumerians, Akkadians, Chaldeans, Hittites, Babylonians, Israelites, Phoenicians, Lydians, Assyrians and Persians established the foundations for future Civilizations. Their contributions include: the wheel, glass, the sail, coinage, mathematics, the alphabet, calendars, bronze, iron, monotheism, epic poetry, farming and irrigation. The art of Mesopotamia is as diverse as the civilizations that inhabited the area. Art became decorative, stylized and conventionalized at different times and places in the area. Gods took on human forms and humans were combined with animals to make fantastic creatures. Art commemorated the accomplishments of great men and intimidated the lowly. Skills improved and new media was developed. Large temples and imposing palaces dotted the landscape. Man recorded his history and poetry for the first time and set them down to music. Lyres, pipes, harps and drums accompanied their songs and dances. Abraham Text only Bio from the Catholic Encyclopedia The Story of Abraham from the Hebrew Bible - from

Extractions: Goddesses are present and active in Sumerian mythology. They take action, They challenge male gods, take Them to court if the Gods misbehave and captivate us with Their wit, passion, resourcefulness, magick and power. Although as time goes by towards the Babylonian and Assyrian states, female power decreases, the presence of Goddesses was always strong in Mesopotamia. In other words, the Divine Masculine was not alienated from the Divine Feminine. Here, we will try to retrieve a bit of the image of the Divine Feminine in Mesopotamia as much as our sources allow us. For Goddesses are archetypes of wholeness that help us to stretch our limits and possibilities of being and becoming... one more time for men and women alike. GatewaysToBabylon - Board
