Mesopotamia World News
news all about Mesopotamia!
The world of Mesopotamia has been growing
of late! A very warm welcome to all our new citizens! We're pleased to have you
as our neighbors! New events and contests are being planned for the next few months
(not to mention the next Springfest), so if you would like to help make Mesopotamia
a shining star in AW, please contact Caileadair.
~~ Sumerian proverb by Ki-en-gir, c. 2000 BCE
...that the major Mesopotamian deities were identified with the forces of Nature? For example, Anu is a sky god, Enlil is a wind god, Enki is a water god, and Sin is a moon god.
New Feature ~ Neighborhoods ~ Mesopotamia's new neighborhoods opened on October 3, 2004! It was an exciting day as this new AncientWorlds feature became available to all citizens. Mesopotamia's 'hoods, which we call "City-States" are as follows:
Please feel free to browse through our neighborhoods! Also note that our 'hoods are still an evolving work and we are currently seeking "City Builder" volunteers to assist in their evolution. Should you be interested, please leave one of the Mesopotamian Scribes a scroll at their domus.
Babble On - The Babylonian Trivia Game ~ We are continuing our trivia game in Mesopotamia! Have a question you think will stump us? Know the answer to a current question? Come on by and join in! All are welcome! Needing a break from serious historical thought and research? We have just
the place to come hang out and let loose all your stresses, worries, and headaches
--- the infamous Kash Bowl of Mesopotamia! A few things to keep in mind
when visiting that den of iniquity....er, that fine establishment....Apil
has a strong tendency to mooch for free bowls of kash; the bartender, Caileadair
(yours truly), is a big mischief-maker; and wellllll, the other regulars (i.e.,
Lotus,
Tomi,
Tiggy,
and Ishtar)
are quite "colorful" as well! Bring yer money, park yer camels outside, please
step kindly over prone bodies, and no boisterous rioting allowed inside! Watch
out for the ostriches....they can get rather trigger-itchy with their feet (yeah,
just like the shin-kickin' Caily! *grin*)  Come on, come on.....we know yer just dying of curiosity, so come on by and get yer 15 minutes of fame (or infamy!) at the Kash Bowl! Don't know what kash is? Apiladey has been gracious enough to explain it ALL to us here! Our intrepid, and ever hilarious, Leah Enkidu has brought the Babylon Beat to new heights with her latest edition! I've got to say that there's just no other paper that can do good ole wacked-out Mesopotamia justice!
By the way, you can share your appreciation for the Babylon Beat here!
For those interested specifically in Babylonian history, we'd like to recommend The Ancient City of Babylon.
