Mesopotamia Urbanization

Mesopotamia was known as the "land between the rivers" in ancient times. Two mutually parallel rivers of Mesopotamia are known as the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. The Tigris is the unpredictable river in the eastern part of the Euphrates river, the second largest river in the area. The Euphrates river is the larger of the two rivers on the west side of the Tigris river. The two rivers flow from eastern Turkey to the Persian Gulf (Tigris - Euphrates). Two rivers provide the earliest civilization necessary for survival.

In many ancient civilizations such as the civilizations of Egypt and Mesopotamia, architecture and urbanism reflects the constant contact with sacred and supernatural things, and many ancient cultures are symbolic symbols of the rulers of the building I use a representative expression. Political power of the elite, or the country itself. The architecture and urbanism of classical civilizations such as ancient Greece and Rome evolved from the ideals of citizens rather than religious or empirical thoughts, and a new type of architecture emerged. The "style" of the building is developing in the form of a classical order. Roman architecture is influenced by Greek architecture

The architectural style of Mesopotamia is an ancient building of the Tigris - Eurapian River system (also called Mesopotamia), including several different cultures up to the 10th century BC. When an object was constructed it was until the 6th century BC. Mesopotamia's architectural achievements include urban planning, courtyard housing development, pyramids, and so on. Mesopotamia does not have a major in architecture but the scribe drafts and manages the building for the government, nobility, or royalty

According to the archaeological survey, the urbanization process in southern Mesopotamia began as early as 5800 BC, and several large population concentrations occurred in 4300 BC. Ubaid culture in the southern part of Mesopotamia (5500-3700 BC) is at the same time as Halaf culture in the north. It was estimated that Eridu settlers received 2,000 to 4,000 residents early in BC and 500 years. It is noteworthy that the excavation of Ubaid sites like Eridu has not reached the early human occupational level yet. That raises the possibility that Ubaid culture is actually faster than the northern part. The Ubaid village usually consists of a large village (about 750 inhabitants) residents living in houses built with reeds and mud brick along the river bank. Unlike the settlements in the northern part of Central Mesopotamia, Ubaid communities tend to gather around religious buildings with altars of incineration products built on raised mud brick platforms.
