I found it interesting to read that…

I found it interesting to read that the poem of The Epic of Gilgamesh is an epic from ancient Mesopotamia in 2100 B.C.E. It's a great literary work for Gilgamesh, who is the king of Uruk. The poem of Epic of Gilgamesh compiled after 2000 B.C.E. This is the time that there were reports that "the earth turned white" as salt accumulated in the soil. As a result, wheat was the most important thing to replace by barley, which s far more tolerant of salty conditions, which happened in Sumerian city-states. This kind of report was "facilitated their conquest by foreigners and shifted the center of Mesopotamian civilization permanently to the north" (Strayer, 82).

The Epic of Gilgamesh is a great poem that is related to Mesopotamian history, which is related to the subject of civilization. In addition, this is related to "environmental devastation, eventually left Summerian cities vulnerable to outside forces" (Strayer, 83). There had stronger people from the northern Summerian phase of Mesopotamian civilization to bring up an end throughout the historical change for Mesopotamians.

The historical perspective is important throughout Mesopotamian history. This interests me a lot for me.
