Box 4004, Eau Claire, WI 54702 USA When one thinks of what happens in a war, one usually thinks of the property loss and death toll. But in a culturally rich ancient region such as Iraq, one must also think of the cultural heritage and archeological sites that could also be lost in the war. In the 1991 Gulf War, damage to these sites was kept to a minimum, due to the area where most of the fighting was happening: Southern Iraq and Kuwait. Differences between that war and the 2003 Iraq war are already much more evident. The Tigris and Euphrates river basin is home to ancient Mesopotamia, where thousands of years ago, the first ancient civilizations were born. Groups such as the Babylonians, Sumerians, and Assyrians all once lived in this area. Biblical character Abraham and King Hammurabi of Babylon once lived here, as well as the the founder of Shiite Islam, Imam Ali. This area is full of ancient and modern culture, as well as some of the earliest forms of architecture, domestication of animals, and the beginning of many forms of agriculture.

Week 2: Science in the Ancient Near East Science in the Ancient Near East In our whirlwind tour of the history of science, this week we make our stop in the civilizations of the ancient Near East. Our aim will be to get to know the ancient Babylonian astronomers in terms of their own place and time. We'll not be like tourists in Uruk, Ninevah or Babylon who seek fast food at McDonald's Most weeks we will explore the science of Western Europe during just one or two centuries. This week is a little different, because we will survey the science of Mesopotamia over three millennia, from the invention of writing up to the first century B.C. Our focus will be on the science of mathematical astronomy. In coming weeks, we'll return to the Greek contemporaries of (and successors to) the Babylonians introduced here. Each week you will begin with an index page like this one, with a table like the one below that links to all the assignments for that week. Return here from any page by clicking the icon in the upper left or the "Week 2: Science in the Ancient Near East " link in the subtitle area above.
