Ancient Mesopotamia Song by Mr. Nicky
To the tune of "Crank That" by Soulja Boy
Euphrates River
Hey, I got a new lesson for you about ancient Mesopotamia
The Euphrates River and the Tigris River formed the cradle of civilization
Akkadians long ago
Conquered Sumer, took control
Sargon led his armies, in their chariots they rolled
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
By the Persian Gulf is where they found
Ancient ruins underground
Archaeologists did lots of excavation down
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
Both the Euphrates River
And the Tigris River used to flood
Bringing lots of fertile mud
But the problem was that water washed away their crops
Dams and levies made it stop
When it was dry they'd irrigate
Fighting over water led to war between the city states
Cuneiform is ancient writing
That tells us Sumer's city-states were always fighting
They were the first civilization in Mesopotamia
Then came the Akkadians who started empire mania
Akkadians long ago
Conquered Sumer, took control
Sargon led his armies, in their chariots they rolled
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
Near the Persian Gulf is where they found
Ancient ruins underground
Archaeologists did lots of excavation down
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
King Sargon got real old
Told his sons to take the throne
But the huge Akkadian empire would fall out of his control
Then came Hammurabi who would take full command
Hammurabi was the king of the Babylonians
(Man) Babylonia
Was the land where they told you
You obey Hammurabi's code
Praise Hammurabi's code
Break Hammurabi's code
And you'll be saying "oh no"

Today, the land between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers is a barren desert. But centuries ago, this area in modern-day Iraq and southern Syria was known as Mesopotamia, a fertile plain that served as home to some of the earliest civilizations. Discover the Sumerian civilization, the first to successfully irrigate the region, form a government and develop written language. The program explores other civilizations that formed following the demise of the Sumerians - the warlike Assyrians and the prosperous Babylonians, who invaded Jerusalem under King Nebuchadnezzar.

Mesopotamia
Mesopotamia (/ˌmɛsəpəˈteɪmiə/, from the Ancient Greek: Μεσοποταμία "[land] between rivers"; from Ancient Armenian՝ Միջագետք(Mijagetq), Arabic: بلاد الرافدين bilād ar-rāfidayn; Persian: میانرودان miyān rodān; Syriac: ܒܝܬ ܢܗܪܝܢ Beth Nahrain "land of rivers") is a name for the area of the Tigris–Euphrates river system, roughly corresponding to modern-day Iraq, Syria and Kuwait, including regions along the Turkish-Syrian and Iran–Iraq borders.
Widely considered to be the one of the cradles of civilization by the Western world, Bronze Age Mesopotamia included Sumer and the Akkadian, Babylonian, and Assyrian empires, all native to the territory of modern-day Iraq. In the Iron Age, it was controlled by the Neo-Assyrian and Neo-Babylonian Empires.
The indigenous Sumerians and Akkadians (including Assyrians and Babylonians) dominated Mesopotamia from the beginning of written history (c. 3100 BC) to the fall of Babylon in 539 BC, when it was conquered by the Achaemenid Empire. It fell to Alexander the Great in 332 BC, and after his death, it became part of the Greek Seleucid Empire.

Mesopotamia
Turn your watch, turn your watch back,
about a hundred thousand years.
A hundred thousand years.
I'll meet you by the third pyramid
I'll meet you by the third pyramid
Ah come on, that's what I want, we'll meet
in Mesopotamia. oh oh oh
(We're goin' down to meet) I ain't no student,
(Feel those vibrations) of ancient culture
(I know a neat excavation) Before I talk
I should read a book.
But there's one thing I do know,
There's a lot of ruins in Mesopotamia.
Six or eight thousand years ago
They laid down the law. Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haa
Six or eight thousand years ago
They laid down the law. Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haa
I'll meet you by the third pyramid

in Mesopotamia. oh oh oh
(We're goin' down to meet) Now I ain't no student,
(Feel those vibrations) of ancient culture
(I know a neat excavation) Before I talk
I should read a book. (Mesopotamia, that's where I wanna go)
But there's one thing that I do know, (Mesopotamia, that's where I wanna go)
There's a lot of ruins in Mesopotamia.
Six or eight thousand years ago
They laid down the law. Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haa
