1. Early cities (and cities even today) tend to be built by rivers or seas, yet the archaeological
sites for ancient Mesopotamian cities are often found far away from the Tigris and
Euphrates rivers and from the Persian Gulf. Why are these sites so far away? Explain what
happened.
2. Explain how the unpredictability of the rivers (described in both the text – around page 25)
and in the annotated power point led to making important documents in the form of clay
tablets.
3. How does the image on top of the stele of Hammurabi (page 33 of the text, 42 of the PDF)
illustrate the status of the king in Mesopotamia? Explain, do not just write a term! (Hint –
one of the terms to know below uses a term to describe this position.)
4. What is a doppelgänger, and why is the relationship between the pair of people involved
both difficult and close? Use examples from movies, books, and even music in addition to
Gilgamesh to illustrate your point.
