Harrapa-
The Indus script represents logo-syllabic writing. This means that it does not constitute such a closed system of single-valued graphemes as the syllabic and alphabetic scripts, which could be cracked as wholes. Rather, individual signs may be interpreted one by one, and many of the graphemes are likely to remain eternal mysteries.
The interpretations presented above, few in number but cross-checked, suggest that the Indus script was essentially similar to the other pictographic scripts created before the middle of the third millennium B.C., that the language of the Indus people was Dravidian, and that they professed a religion that was genetically related to the religions of both the ancient West Asia and the later India.
The Harappan religion emerging from these interpretations is in an interesting way reflected in the Indus pictograms. As iconic signs making use of the picture puzzle (or rebus) principle, they can simultaneously communicate two separate messages, one pictorial, one phonetic.
Mesopotamia-Mesopotamia was the strongest civilization because of its great Irrigation System and the controlling of water. It was strong because of its Gov’t and the way the King ran the Kingdom with all of those many duties. It was strong because of the great Code of Laws written by Hammurabi. Lastly it is strong because of its perfect religious strategies and how they treated the Gods. It is important that you learn Mesopotamia because if you do not know Mesopotamia you do not know the origins of the World.
