Essential Question
EQ:How did the Mesopotamia civilization develope
Unlike the more unified civilizations of Egypt or Greece, Mesopotamia was a collection of varied cultures whose only real bonds were their script, their gods and their attitude toward women. The social customs, laws, and even language of Akkad, for example cannot be assumed to correspond to those of babylon; it does seem, however, that the right of women, the importance of literacy, and the pantheon of the gods were indeed shared throughout the region(though the gods had different names in various regions and periods).
Solution
Solution: When the scribes could read and write but a lot of other people could so they had to rely on the scribes to help them.Now a days people learn to read and write.
