Unit Outline

 * The Cradle of Civilization offers up to us much to learn. Did you know that the Sumerian mythological hero, Gilgamesh, was thought to be more than a man and yet less than a god? It is here in the Fertile Crescent, in Mesopotamia, that we find many important discoveries in world history. It is here that most believe the wheel was invented. It is here that the plow, written language, and glass were invented as well. Our topics will include Sumer, Babylon, and Judaism.
