Question

what led to the rise intrade and commence between cities in Mesopotamian?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The land of Mesopotamia did not have a lot of natural resources, or at least they did not have the ones in demand during that time period.  So, to get the items they needed the Mesopotamians had to trade.

In the southern part of Mesopotamia, docks were built along the sides of the rivers so that ships could easily dock and unload their trade goods.  The merchants traded food, clothing, jewelry, wine and other goods between the cities.

Sometimes a caravan would arrive from the north or east.  The arrival of a trade caravan or trading ship was a time of celebration.

They built this temple at a place called Eridu, which was “one of the most southerly sites, at the very edge of the alluvial river plain and close to the marshes: the transitional zone between sea and land, with its shifting watercourses, islands and deep reed thickets” (Leick, 2).
