Unit 3: Mesopotamia

$15.00

Mesopotamia was the land of the patriarchs: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph. Study the culture of Ur to realize all that Abraham left behind to follow God's call to go to the land of Canaan.

The Mesopotamians invented what might be considered the most important piece of technology of all times–make this invention out of a potato. Make a ziggurat cake. Compare the Code of Hammurabi to the Mosaic Commandments. Present a shadow play based on the Epic of Gilgamesh. 59 pgs.
