Babylon was a city of the Soumerian civilization build between the rivers of Tigris and Euphrates in a region that is known as Mesopotamia [today's Iraq] and became the capital city of the Babylonian civilization. The famous Hanging Gardens of Babylon one of the seven wonders of the Ancient world were hosted in the city.

How is life in Ethiopia's rural arrears different from life in Addis Ababa and how is life similar in both areas?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The life in Ethiopia's rural area is diffrent from the cities like Addis Ababa because the rural area aren't as technologically advanced as the city go-er's. Majority of them still have to go to a river source for water. have no indoor plumbing, and have no electricity.Thr rural people are farmers and still live in the strong customs that they lived 50 years ago In contrast to the people of the city, many of them have running water and electricity. The strrets are nicer and people dress like how they would in America. Although it is not as technologically advanced as America, Europe or Asia, it is on its way. This is because of Ethiopia's long living independance. The similarities are in culture and religon, and religious clothing and ethnic food (like injera, wett, dabo, ambasha). But many of the culture differs because there are different types of people(Like the Tigraye, Oromo, Welo, Gonderaye, Amhara, Bulga, etc)

What did Mesopotamians wear?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

¨A different style of dress is obvious in Mesopotamian sculptures dating after about 2370 BC. Both men and women were clothed in a large piece of material-most commonly of wool, though later also of linen-draped around the body over a skirt. This garment, similar to a shawl, was characteristically edged with tassels or fringe. The draping varied, but, for men at least, the fabric was arranged so that the fullness was at the rear, leaving the right, or sword, arm free. This newer form of dress had originated from farther north and east and was adopted by the Semitic people of Akkad under Sargon (the dynasty founded by Sargon lasted from c. 2334 to c. 2193 BC ) and by the revitalized Sumerian culture in the years 2110-2010 BC

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

British Ambassador to Turkey Lord Elgin, visiting Turkish-owned Greece, visited Athens and found most of the Parthenon statuary, through neglect, fallen down on the ground and broken. He paid the local Turkish governor for the right to collect and take them, and sent them to England, where they found safe refuge in the British Museum.
